Have spend a bit of time doing Itinerary today as we going to Paris with Mr Grey and my sister on March.
Im feeling unhappy today, suppose to be going bck to Klang for work, i tried checking with them the only answer i had is "going back but doesnt know what time yet" so i say to let me know when you can but no reply so i tried to call but no answer and i believe she fall asleep, what should i do? i cant wake up at 5am in morning waiting for their call and im confused now, so inresponsible :(.... a message saying it wint be morning maybe around what time of day at the least is still information.
so i hope doing holiday planning can cheer me up a little
Mr Grey and I have decided to go 4 main museum (due to the little time we have, we can only have 4 museums :( )
4 main museums - Lourve Museum, Musee Orsay, Notre Dame, Saint chapelle.
So we going to split Lourve and Orsay on Saturday and the rest on Sunday :O
As I want to go to one of the biggest flea market in the world which is in Paris, called the
Marché aux Puces St-Ouen de Clignancourt
and a very romantic and sacred place, called the
La Basilique du Sacré Coeur de Montmartre.
But before flea market and Basilica Sacre Coeur, we going to hit the famous shopping streets first!
Which is the .....
Ave des Champs-Elysées
is the most well known shopping street in Paris, although it is now mainly restaurants, cafes, fast food chains, banks, offices and cinemas. However, it is still a place to go with some big store chains and the big Virgin Megastore.
Les Halles area
(1st arrondissement). for its underground modern shopping precinct, the 'Forum des Halles'.Planning where the place is and where they are, help to save time finding where they are when we are there :D So we can go more place on our own during the free time when we are there ^^
Saturday Early morning, to arrive at Louvre Musee will be good to avoid unneeded queues, a pain to wake up early but it's worth it since it's Louvre
_________________________________________________________________________________
Part A, From Lourve musee to Orsay
Boulevard Haussmann,
(9th arrondissement) near Metro station Havre Caumartin, is famous for the large department stores of 'Au Printemps' and 'Galeries Lafayette'.
Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré
(8th arrondissement) one of the most fashionable streets in the world for fashion.
I choose the walking route from Louvre Musee to Musee Orsay that will lead us past the following attractions
Tuileries Garden -
Used to be one of the largest most beautiful garden in Paris, until Henry III past away in 1588
Now it's not only a beautiful place but a good view for Ferris Wheel
Grand Palais -
A famous Historical site, one of the best "fierce" architect building, used to be headquarters during liberation of Paris, also used as a military hospital during World War I.
Pont Alexandre III Bridge -
Arch bridge, regarded as most ornate, extravagant bridge in Paris. I really want to see the Nymphs of the Seine with arms of France and Nymphs of the Neva the arms of Imperial Russia on the other side.
This bridge is in various movies. One or them is James Bond in 1985.
Bourbon Palace -
This palace was design by Italian Architect Lorenzo Giardini

Part B:
Location A: Marché aux Puces St-Ouen de Clignancourt (Biggest flea market) to
Location B: La Basilique du Sacré Coeur de Montmartre
Wee!! Can't wait to get my hands on the antiques or cool collectibles available at the market! And the basilique I have been there before and it's such amazing place with good view of Paris ! But you have to climb up though and make sure you have toilet break before you make your way up!
I remember after we come down from basilique there is a lot of tourist shops nearby. I need to get a nice snow globe of Paris. Every country I go to, I always collect their snow-globe ^^
One day I will have a glass cabinet with every snow globe I have, which I wrote the date under it and a picture of who I went with and it is beautiful memories to be kept forever!

That is what i have plan so far :D, I hope Mr. Grey like this plan and let me know what you think ok ^^
Lots of love for you Lamapig
