Je j’adore la Paris by Erin K.
Do you like beautiful sights, art, and monuments? If so, Paris is the place for you. In my opinion, Paris, France is one of the best places to visit for your vacation. It has many amazing monuments, you can buy lots of awesome souvenirs, and there are lots of great places to take photos.
Firstly, Paris has amazing monuments, like the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is the most well known monument in Paris. The Eiffel Tower was supposed to be a temporary installation, intended to stand for 20 years, after being built for the 1889 World Fair. According to https://www.toureiffel.paris/, it took 2 years, 2 months, and 5 days to build. That is amazing, considering they did not have modern tools. Looking at the monument, you can imagine how hard people worked to create the beautiful sight. The Sainte Chapelle is one of many pretty monuments from Paris. The Sainte Chapelle is a church with beautiful stained glass windows. If you ever visit Paris you should visit the Sainte Chappelle because it has beautiful architecture, such as a dome ceiling and it’s very tall. One of my favorite things to do would be re-imagining the monuments and drawing them.
Next, you can buy lots of awesome souvenirs in Paris. Souvenirs include snow globes, music boxes, and keychains. One example is, my mom bought my little sister a plastic snow globe and it was beautiful. Plastic snow globes are easier to transport because they are made out of plastic. We brought it on many trips and have made lots of memories with it. You can also collect fallen parts of monuments, like a shard of glass from the Sainte Chappelle or a scrap of metal from the Eiffel Tower. Other things you can buy are clothes. According to https://www.encyclopedia.com/fashion/, Paris is the land of fashion! You can buy clothes at different stores including Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent.
Lastly, there are lots of beautiful places to take photos. This is important because photos are things you can look at from the past, you can use them for Christmas cards, or any type of card. For example, you can take pictures at the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and the Sainte Chapelle. These places are beautiful day or night. For example, during the day, the Eiffel Tower casts a beautiful shadow, and in the night it is lit up. I’ve never been there but my mom has. She said it looked like the Eiffel Tower was made out of sparkly, shiny gold. Cool right?! For the Sainte Chappelle, during the day, you can watch the light shine through the stained glass. During the night it is closed, but you can still look at it from the outside. The Arc De Triomphe has beautiful statues and there is a road underneath so you can drive under it.
Paris is one of the best places for your vacation. Some people say that Paris is too expensive. However, it’s worth the memories and fun you have when you’re there. Paris is the prime place for your vacation because it has many amazing monuments, you can buy lots of awesome souvenirs, and there are lots of beautiful places to take photos. Why are you still here reading?! Go to your local train station or airport and head to Paris!
