I didn't expect to fall in love with Paris. Like many, I had seen the pictures. I'd heard the clichés-the City of Love, the City of Lights, the fashion capital, the one place you have to see before you die. I arrived expecting postcard views and tourist crowds, but what I found was something far more personal, far more lasting. I found a city that made me slow down, pay attention, and feel more alive than I had in a long time. This book isn't a guide or a list of must-sees. It's a reflection-a love letter, really-to the Paris I experienced. The one that took my breath away at night. The one that invited me to climb to the very top of the Eiffel Tower and look at the world from a different angle. The one that taught me history through the very ground beneath my feet. And above all, the one that reminded me how to enjoy life in small, beautiful ways. I wrote this book because I believe the best travel stories aren't just about where you go-they're about how a place changes you. Paris did that for me. In its cafés, on its bridges, under its skies, I rediscovered a sense of wonder I didn't know I'd lost. In the chapters that follow, I'll take you through the moments and memories that made me fall in love with this city. You'll walk with me through Paris at night, stand beside me at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and uncover pieces of history hidden in plain sight. You'll see what it means to live the Parisian way-not just with elegance, but with intention. I hope that by the end, you'll see why I like Paris-not just as a place on the map, but as a state of mind. Bienvenue à Paris.
