A Perfect Day in Paris

24 hours in the city of love

This time last week, I was waiting to board a plane to fly back to London after one incredible day in Paris.

My boyfriend and I set out to Paris from London with a loose plan. We had five things we wanted to see: Luxembourg Gardens, the Louvre (specifically the rose line), Notre Dame, the Pantheon and the Eiffel Tower. We only had one scheduled activity - dinner that night under the Eiffel at Chez Francette. How we started the day and eventually made our way to the Eiffel was up to us.

This is the story of how we hit all the sights, ate some delicious food, clocked 13 miles (21 km) and had probably the most perfect day in the history of perfect days.

Here’s how it went.
