TO PARIS!
We have decided to travel to Paris because it is a
city very rich culturally. You can get lost and walk through the parks,
streets, gardens, enjoy the architecture or sit on a terrace for drink coffee
and think that you are in a bohemian city.
It is not a distant city, and in one word is spectacular. And we'll tell you about our travel:
We traveled from December 20 th until
January 2 th to coincide in Christmas holidays, at Christmas the atmosphere is
wonderful.
We went from the airport of Tenerife, Los Rodeos at
6:30 am and arrived in Paris about 11:45 pm, on the return trip we took the
plane at Paris Beauvais-Tille Airport at 12:15 am and arrived to Tenerif at
about 1:25 pm.
We decided to stay in an apartment because hotels are
very expensive in Paris center, we were in apartment Rue Saint-Roch, and we
found an offer that includes apartment and free bonuses to the subway. We only use the subway like transport. It was
great!
