ONE YEAR AGO: CHILL SUNDAY IN PARIS

Pretty awesome view, right? I mentioned about our room's view in passing here, yes folks, the Eiffel tower can be seen from our room's mini-balcony. We stayed in Citadines Tour Eiffel along Boulevard de Grenelle and I highly recommend this apart-hotel coz of the location. La Motte-Picquet-Grenelle station is literally at your doorstep and 3(!) metro lines go through it. There's also a McDonald's at the corner as well as several shops (H&M and MAC included) that dot Rue du Commerce. If you're looking for Parisian cafes, there are a lot just across at Avenue de la Motte Picquet and our favorite, Le Zinc, is one of them. Since it's an apart-hotel, it also gives you a home-y vibe. You feel like it's actually your apartment, and not just a hotel you're staying in for the week. Downside though is housekeeping is an added service, but really, I didn't find it that necessary.

On our Sunday in Paris, first thing we did was visit the weekend market under the metro tracks. (I told you our hotel was awesome, haha!) Fresh fruits, cheeses, and bread, anyone? After getting our breakfast, we then prepared for the day ahead. Our parents have arrived by then so we basically took the day to visit the Eiffel tower and walk around the city together. Perfect chill Sunday.
