France | Paris, Versailles
I visited France towards the end of November in 2019 for four days. Since it was my first time in France and I only had four days, I mainly explored Paris and only did a day trip to Versailles to visit Palace of Versailles.
The major attractions in Paris lived up to the expectations I've had hearing about them growing up. The Eiffel Tower stands prominently in the heart of Paris, giving the Parisian skyline that Parisian feel. As you walk down the Louvre's galleries, it's famous paintings and sculptures will make you double-take and think - wait I've seen that in an art textbook before! Notre Dame looks frozen in time, it's two main columns overlooking the Seine river.
My most memorable impression of Paris was the "aesthetics" of the city. The architecture and vintage feel of everything gave the city a very "Paris" vibe that is unique only to itself. When there is good weather, the sunset basks the entire city in a warm glow that lights up the ivory-colored buildings in an orange hue.
