I live in Paris. It’s my city. She knows me and I know her. As a lady, we have ups and downs. Sometimes she appears’s to be capricious, generous, romantic, annoying, but she always remains beautiful and unpredictable! Just love her. Each time I walk around and allow myself some time, I still look at her as the 1st time: She reveals to the ones who dedicate time to get to know her.

I just wanted to introduce these Mayeul Akpovi beautiful videos. He really did a great job. Have a look and feel the atmosphere as you jump from monuments to monuments. Mayeul gave Paris a lot of his time to release this film, which gives you the opportunity to enjoy one of the top places to travel in the world:

Filmed frame by frame with manual camera movements, composed of more than 30.000 photographs it allows you to visit some of the most beautiful monuments and human activities of the French capital in a few minutes

To conclude, I give you my #1 tip: In Paris (like in other any cities I guess) you definitely have to take your TIME. Walk, bike, take the metro, enjoy stopping in the countless cafes or a having a pic nique somewhere…Give yourself the chance to avoid any tiny scheduling and you’ll be amazed how the city will open up, generously, showing the best it can offer.

What dou you think? Have you ever been to Paris or is it on your bucket list? Should it be on the top places to travel in the world?
