Paris Day Three {Final Day}

Hey Jelly Beans.

So today is my last full day. My case is packed ready for my flight home tomorrow. I have had such a fantastic couple of days. I really am going to miss this place so much.

After polishing off my yummy full breakfast again I took a trip to Toulouse Market. A friend of mine had approached me before my trip and said I should pay it a visit as they have the most fantastic fish stall. I was not disappointed when I arrived.


The array of different fish and shell fish that greeted me was incredible. They had everything from cod to haddock, salmon to plaice. Prawns to my favourite Scallops. So much to chose from. It was a shame I couldn't take any back to my family as they all love fish.

Sad to say shortly after taking the above picture my camera battery died so I was unable to take pictures of some more interesting stalls. I also couldn't take a picture of this artist outside the market do character drawings. He was better than any I have seen in the UK before. Such talent!

I didn't buy anything much, but I did however purchase this little key ring to remind me of my trip up the Eiffel Tower which was super cute and are on my Car/House keys right now.

Seeing as it was my last night and I have been putting it off for years, I decided I was going to take the plunge and try snails. One decision I will not be making again!! I absolutely hated them. The colour for starters put me straight off them. I personally think it would take a very strong person with an iron stomach to handle these "slippery little suckers". (Pretty Woman Quote).

Overall Experience.

My overall experience of my three days in Paris have been in one word, Magical. The Eiffel Tower trip was really worth the queuing and waiting for, and if you enjoy pottering around markets then Toulouse Market is well worth the visit.

Hotel Du Prince Eugene.

This hotel met all my expectations: easy access, reasonable price, good breakfast, cleanliness, friendly and professional service. I am very pleased with my experience and highly recommend this place
Only minor problem: the breakfast room is quite small, and by the time I got there at 9.30am, there was quite a bit of waiting time to be seated. I therefore chose to have my breakfast delivered in the room, even though this service was normally to be reserved in advance, and it was all taken care of quickly and professionally.

I highly recommend this small hotel for anyone looking for a reasonably priced stay with good services.

Well my dear friends, I have a flight to catch early tomorrow. So this is where I bid you goodnight. Thank you all for joining me on this first travel blog. I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I have had writing and experiencing it.

Speak Soon.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Happy New Year To One & All!!! Hoping everyone had a fabulous new years celebrations. I know I most definitely did and now somewhat regretting all the fun I had. But with that being said, 2017 looks to be a crazy, busy and adventurous time for me. With so many new ideas planned for both my blog and of course YouTube channel, all you luck and lovely viewers will have an abundance of new content heading your way each week. YouTube - SophieMarie So for the lovely fans that follow me on YouTube as well as here, you are going to be seeing a shake up on my channel. As you are aware I try and upload a few different videos each week and don't have a main focus or theme. Well that is all about to change. Having done a lot of thinking and been asked by friends, family and subscribers to look into doing covers of different styles of songs, which I have to say, I firstly looked at them and laughed, then after come serious thought and consideration I have decided to give it a shot. So ...
