4 Days in Paris: The City of Lights

My journey began in the heart of France—Paris, where I spent four days soaking in the iconic landmarks and indulging in the city's rich culture and cuisine.

• Parisian Highlights: From the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre, I explored the must-see landmarks of Paris, capturing stunning shots of the city’s most famous attractions. Strolling through Montmartre, visiting the Arc de Triomphe, and enjoying views along the Seine, I got a true sense of Parisian charm.

  
  

• Gastronomic Delights: Paris is a food lover's paradise, and I couldn’t resist indulging in everything from flaky croissants to rich escargots. My food tour took me through local bakeries, markets, and cafés, where I savored authentic French cuisine, including creamy macarons and hearty French onion soup.

  
  

• Cultural Immersion: Beyond the food and sights, I explored Paris' artistic side, visiting museums, art galleries, and beautiful gardens like Jardin des Tuileries.

In these four days, I made sure to experience everything Paris had to offer—history, culture, and a touch of romance.

6 Days in Grasse: The Heart of the French Riviera

After Paris, I traveled south for six days in the beautiful town of Grasse, located in the South of France, also known as the perfume capital of the world.

• Grasse’s Scenic Beauty: Grasse offers a slower pace, with rolling hills, olive groves, and the picturesque streets of the old town. I captured the natural beauty of the region, exploring the charming villages and scenic views that make the South of France so enchanting.

  
  

• Perfume Experience: I had the opportunity to visit one of Grasse’s world-famous perfume factories and learn about the art of fragrance-making. It was fascinating to see how perfumes are crafted using centuries-old techniques and experience the intoxicating scents of this unique region.

  
  

• Local Cuisine & Markets: The region’s cuisine was also a highlight, from fresh seafood to Mediterranean specialties. I toured local markets and sampled regional products, including fragrant lavender, fresh herbs, and local wines.

  
  

These six days in Grasse gave me a perfect balance of relaxation and cultural immersion, making it the ideal base for exploring the South of France.

Monaco & Italy: A 24-Hour Adventure

The most thrilling part of my trip was the 24-hour adventure that took me from Monaco to Italy and back.

• Monaco’s Glamour: I began by driving from Grasse to Monaco, where I explored the luxury of this glamorous microstate. I visited iconic spots like the Monte Carlo Casino, the Prince’s Palace, and the luxurious yachts docked in Port Hercule. Monaco’s stunning Mediterranean views and high-end vibe were on full display.

  
  

• A Quick Taste of Italy: After Monaco, I crossed the border into Italy, stopping in Ventimiglia, a small town near the Italian border. Although the visit was brief, I captured the charm of the Italian Riviera with its colorful markets and beautiful coastal views. This short stop gave me a perfect snapshot of Italy, even if just at the border.

  
  

• Back to France: After my quick Italian detour, I drove back to France, completing the loop in just 24 hours. The drive was scenic and filled with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean coastline and the charming towns along the way.

  
  

This whirlwind journey was packed with action, luxury, and breathtaking views, making it a unique and unforgettable part of my European adventure.
