With the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics, officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad and commonly known as Paris 2024, is coming to Paris, France. Travel and research go hand in hand along with daily event planning and Paris. Don’t think you can just wing it and see the good stuff. It was 10 days and we were very disciplined to make sure to follow the schedule. But having fun is always the goal. I thought I would share some of our photos and describe the site and attractions of Paris so there is a few pictures below. This was our first trip to France and it was our Honeymoon.
We spent 10 days in Paris and we still didn’t get all of the things we wanted to do done. So have fun if yoou are going to visit this summer. Brush up on all the pleasantries to be a better shmuck of a tourist than the normal ones they see from America that can’t even say good day when they go into a cafe or store.
With a well planned out day, and each event writen down, it is possible to see a lot, eat great food, experience Paris, take a million photos and have fun.
But think of the details and make your plans to allow travel on the metro or walking.
As you can see we planned for everything!
