Paris... Champs-Elysees at night!


After I got back from C. de Chartres (1/13), Youngsun and I decided to go out (really because I was being super lazy and we were both afraid that I would never make it to Champs-Elysees before they take down the Christmas lights because of my laziness :P) So, we went out!


Champs-Elysees at night was pretty hot. and beautiful. and not that many people. I really liked how quiet it was. It was a fab idea to go at night :D LV was closed too so I could enjoy window shopping without bumping into 10000000 people. gah.


The Christmas lights were super pretty! I'm really glad I made it on time. I am also excited to re-visit during the spring when it's green. That should be beautiful too, right? hehe :)



Then YS and I went to the Arc de Triomphe. We didn't go up because it was too cold and close to closing time. But it was nice to see where all the streets went :)


Some pictures of the Arc de Triomphe from Champs-Elysees:



The underground walk way to the Arc d. T (I thought it was pretty cool..hehe):



Under the Arc de Triomphe (sorry..I have shaky hands..o_o;;;) :



Cute couple that really made me miss my boobooface *sadface* :



YS and I walked down Champs-Elysees afterwards, checking out stores, spraying perfume, looking at bags..good times.

THEN!!! For THE VERY FIRST TIME, I got to see the Eiffel Tower!!!!! teeeheee!
And it was all sparkling because it hit the hour. It made me sooo happy and I really really felt like I was finally in Paris! hehe
(I know, it's totally silly and irrational...)
AT first it was blurry and then.... TA-DA!!!!!



I think it was close to 10 or 11 when YS and I crossed Pont Neuf and got back to the Citadines (fab place btw :D)...
Now that I am in Aix, I really miss Paris a lot. And I really really miss crossing Pont Neuf 10000 times a day... :(
I wish Aix had a little pont to cross everyday..bleh..





Now I really really miss Paris. Hopefully I will get to go during spring break!
