It was our 2nd day in France and we were still in Paris, the famous city of romance and love in the world! 💖It was our last day to explore the Paris city, afterwards we will be heading to the outskirts of Paris and exploring some beautiful places in France (excited face 😁😎)! Since it was our last day in Paris, we managed to visit some famous monuments and landmarks in the Paris city, such as Eiffel Tower, Champs-Élysées & Louvre Museum. We started our day by exploring the beautiful Eiffel Tower and took some photos there, and then heading to the most famous shopping street in the world called Champs-Élysées, afterwards we moved on to the most visited museum in the world called Louvre Museum when it was about time (notes: we had booked the tickets beforehand). Louvre museum was so spacious that it took us few hours to just 'simply' exploring it 😏😩! We ended the night with some beautiful light show of Eiffel Tower. That's it for the day well spent in this lovely Paris city. 💜

👉 The 2 most famous places to view Eiffel Tower are: Trocadero & Champ de Mars. Both of them offer great view of Eiffel Tower. For those who prefer to have a super big field for picnic and spend some relaxing time with a whole bunch of friends, may opt for Champ de Mars. For those that would like to shoot the staircases with Eiffel Tower as backdrop may opt for Trocadero. (Remarks: We chose Trocadero, may refer below for more for the photos)

👉 The 2 most famous carousel nearby Eiffel Tower. One of them is just next to Eiffel Tower (smaller carousel), another one is near to Trocadero Garden (bigger carousel). For those who prefer to have the whole view of Eiffel Tower and big carousel, then may opt for the carousel nearby Trocadero Garden for the photo taking opportunity (night view is super beautiful, my most favorite photo in Paris city). For those who prefer to have sit carousel next to the river and admire the Eiffel Tower just in front of your eyes (just like the scenes of those Paris films), then may opt for the carousel next to Eiffel Tower. 💛 (Remarks: We chose both, may refer below for more for the photos)
