Paris in Winter

The day that I arrived in the City of Lights, it was cold and there was snow falling from the grey skies. I felt like I was in a timewarp while exploring the picturesque neighborhoods . I got lost in the hallways of the Louvre and took long leisurely walks on the Champs-Élysées. It is very easy to fall in love with Paris. No other city is as charming and beautiful and nostalgic. On my last day, I stood atop the Eiffel tower and gazed at the twinkling lights of the city reflected on the Seine, and thought to myself that one day I will be back, walk the same streets, eat at the same cafes, and live the past four days, sometime again in the future.
