A lot of people – including myself – always wondered why Paris is considered romantic. For me, cities like Rome or Venice are far more romantic thanks to its classic architecture accents and amazing ambience. After I landed in Paris (YES, I’m in Paris!) and explored the city a little bit, I now know exactly what makes Paris very interesting in the eyes of international travelers.
Art is a large component of Paris. You can see street artists in almost every corner of the open spaces, while artistic statues and interesting galleries make the city even more exciting to explore. Intensely themed artworks commonly seen around the city are among the things that make Paris very romantic in a way.
The architecture of Paris may not be as classical as that of Venice or Rome, but it is certainly no less beautiful. In fact, Paris and Rome cannot be compared against each other because the two cities have different genres of architecture, resulting them to have unique ambience altogether.
Love, as cliché as it may sound, is also a large part of life in Paris. You can see couples everywhere, with public display of affection very commonly seen as well. It is actually interesting in a way, because seeing two humans exchanging love and affection can really take your minds of all the hustle and bustle back home.
These ingredients are what make Paris romantic by nature. Of course, the lovely cafés and brasseries along with tons of tourism attractions to visit also make Paris a very interesting city to explore.
This is just my first day in Paris so I haven’t really explored much of the city. However, I really love how Paris feels and will certainly enjoy this short visit to the max. Stick around for more updates! Mel, out.
