Saint Germain des Pres Shopping and Lunch at Leon's 23 Dec 2014


Everyday in Paris begins with the Metro.

St Germain des Pres. Shopping at Louis Vuitton aka LV



Paris London Trip 20 Dec 2014 to 30 Dec 2014 Arrival and Eiffel Tower Night


Once we reached Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport, we tried using the public train service to reach our accommodation for the first 4 days which was booked via AirBnB. I must say that I was quite impressed with the accommodation and will refer this place to all my friends visiting Paris.

The Metro Station was Place D'Italie and our residence was on top of a shopping mall that has its own supermarket (Carrefour) inside the mall.

This was day 1 of our free and easy trip

Eiffel Tower View from Place D'Italie Residence Balcony 22 Dec 2014


This is my 2nd time in Paris since more than 14 years ago.

Armed with a DSLR and tripod, I wasn't just gonna take shoddy pictures of the famous Eiffel Tower and blame the poor lighting conditions and bite myself not coming back with sharp pictures of the Tour de Eiffel.

Each time I see these pictures I took, it makes me miss the place,
but strangely at the same time, 
I am also glad I came back with these photos.

Paris London Trip 20 Dec 2014 to 30 Dec 2014 Pre-Departure and Transit


It was our first long haul family trip and was just the 4 of us lugging suitcases full of winter wear to both Paris and London.

Mrs Neo ( aka Christine Koh ) was in between jobs and we have a period whereby we could afford to visit these 2 countries.

We managed to book the tickets at great prices at Emirates Airlines and transited at Dubai before arriving at Paris.
