Some historical facts you maybe missed in Grace the Giraffe in Paris ;) No pain, no gain. Here’s how you should explore Paris on your third trip. What did we miss? Here we go! Third trip to Paris! These are ten things I recommend you set up for a great visit. The first two visits were all about the famous monuments and neighborhoods, now we’re really starting to dig beneath the surface. How many have you done? (Swipe for visit one and two) Turned a corner on a cloudy morning and saw the Notre Dame was lit up by a rogue ray of sunshine. If that’s not a metaphor for something then I don’t know what a metaphor is. So I've just binge-watched Emily in Paris (season three). Now what? What did you guys think? (Did I ever say I saw them filming a scene in Montmartre!)
