My love for Paris probably started the summer before my freshman year in high school after watching "Beauty and the Beast" for the fiftieth time. It was the first time I started to care that Lumiere spoke French or that the words 'bonjour' and 'monsieur' were repeated multiple times throughout the film. Haha. A similar kind of thing happened with the "The Sound of Music" ages ago. After learning about Hitler and the Holocaust in junior high, I realized Rolfe (one of the characters) was a member of the Nazi Party and the funny sounding phrase he kept saying in the film was "Heil Hitler" - it was an "ohhhh" moment for me.
I have yet to visit Paris, but WILL take my own photograph of the Eiffel Tower one day. Maybe even open a bottle of champagne under it. I hear that's what the French do? Just want to try it~ Maybe I'll take a bottle of sparkling cider with me on the plane for the occasion. Haha~~
I think I'd want to visit Paris for New Year's Eve despite the freezing cold. Wishing French people a cheerful Bonne Annees and exchanging bises (small kisses on each cheek) at the stroke of midnight sounds great to me!
