It’s time for the last blogpost about my trip to Paris (for now). The last hotel I visited during my trip to Paris recently was Hotel Thérèse. It was a really cosy and cute hotel with a lovely atmosphere. Although I could only stay there for one night, I had a lovely stay there. My favorite thing about the hotel was its location and the sweet staff. And I could actually use this breakfast in bed in Paris right now, haha. Some fresh croissants and baguette, s’il vous plaît!
Oh, how I miss Paris! Now that I’ve been back in Groningen, in the real world, I can’t wait to plan my next trip again. Although I would like to visit a different city, I wouldn’t mind to visit Paris again too… Especially because I had such a pleasurable stay there. One of the hotels I stayed at was Hotel de Nell. It’s a relaxed and chic luxury 5-star hotel, located in the city centre of Paris.
One of my favorite spots (especially for outfit shooting) in Paris is Le Palais Royal. It such an unique location in my opinion; old and new architecture blending together into something stunningly beautiful. In a way, it represented the mindstate I had during my stay in Paris: old and new memories blending together, creating a different dimension to me. I’m still figuring everything out when it comes to that, but hopefully pieces are going to fall in their places soon. And yes, I wanted to wear stripes to match the location perfectly, haha! I think these photos turned out great and I can’t wait to show you it ‘in motion’ in my upcoming video as well that I will be posting tonight…
I think all my blogger and Instagram babes can relate: you’re planning a trip, and the first thought that pops into your head is ‘where can I find the cutest Instagram hotspots here?’… Although sites like TripAdvisor etc. can help, but they tell you nothing about the Instagrammability (lol I think I just made that word up) of the places you’re thinking of visiting. That’s why I wanted to do an Instagram Hotspot Guide to Paris, because who doesn’t want to take the perfect pictures in the cutest food hotspots there? So if you want to know where I took all my pictures on Instagram during my trip to Paris, keep reading (and the food of these places was also bomb.com, so this guide is also perfect for all my non-influencer babes!).
It’s strange to realize how certain places can seem so ordinary to some, while be so extraordinary to others, all at once. For some people the ‘Pont des Arts’ can seem like a regular bridge in Paris, while to other people it can feel like they are being teleported back to other times. That’s how I felt when I was walking passed this bridge, and realizing that my favorite philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre must have done the same thing, yet centuries ago. The fact that I was standing at the same spot where he would’ve talked, walked and thought, while reading his Nausea, was mind-blowing to me. It made me reflect on the past years of my life too. A long time ago, I discovered his existentialistic philosophy, which made me change my life completely. And even now that I am way older, I still have some difficulties implementing his philosophy into my life. I know this may not seem a topic that’s for everybody, but trust me; you need to continue reading this, because I feel like it will help you with your life too.
