Saya mulakan kembara perjalanan 2014 saya dengan ulang kunjung ke kota Paris yang sering disinonimkan dengan kota percintaan. Kota yang dipenuhi dengan mitos romantika.
Ah.... The French!
For the French, seduction isn’t just for the bedroom. They consider the power to seduce an essential skill in everyday life, useful for everything from getting their own way in an argument to winning over clients in business. When Parisians decorate the windows of their boutiques, they’re not simply trying to get the attention of the busy pedestrians rushing past: they aim to seduce. The secret is in the art of presentation -- a veritable degree in design schools in France – used to entice, tease, and lure in their customers. Clothing, candies, toys, and artworks…with a whole city of boutique windows designed to please, it’s no wonder the French phrase for window shopping is faire du lèche-vitrines (window licking). Enjoy the priceless pleasures of strolling arm-in-arm past the city’s oldest boutique windows in Les Passages Couverts, historic 19th-century shopping passages pre-dating today’s department stores and shopping malls. The Passage Jouffroy (10 boulevard Montmartre, 9th) and the Galeire Vivienne house unique boutiques, tearooms, art galleries, antique bookshops and local designers, while the shops under the stone arcades of the romantic Palais Royal Gardens are known for their vintage clothing and perfume shops.
Well. While in Paris I decided to stayed at Secret Design Hotel Paris. Terletak di arron.9 dan boleh berjalan kaki sahaja ke Galleria LaFayette. Ia sangat menarik dengan tema "Paris Insider". Setiap bilik punya tema berbeza. Saya memilih Moulin Rouge Room. Merah dan sexy! Rate dalam Euro 200++ per night. Hotel di Kota Paris ini sememangnya mahal bagi kita (as Malaysian) because of the exchange rate, especially now. Ada yang lebih murah tapi agak jauh dan....(lain-lain).

Pekerja (receptionist) siap hantar ke bilik untuk terangkan konsep dan peralatan dalam bilik. Memang best. Biliknya sememangnya sempit (mungkin 17-18 sqt) tapi bersih dan baru. I likes I likes.

| Ready To Go To Watch The Lido Show |
Malam terakhir di Paris, saya menonton Lido Cabaret Show "Le Fleur". Cerita tentang perjuangan seorang wanita dalam mengejar cita-cita. Verdict? agak menarik tapi bagi saya, saya lebih teruja menonton "Simon Cabaret" di Phuket! Well... taste masing-masingkan?
Eh..eh..Apasal entri cerita bermula di penutup?
Oh, okay. Saya tiba di Orly airport pada 27 February. Untuk memudahkan perjalanan dan menjimatkan masa, saya telah arrange airport transfer lebih awal dengan Jean Louis (perkhidmatannya saya selalu guna untuk client saya). Dari Orly ke Secret Design Hotel Euro70. Sesampai di pusat kota, berdetik dalam hati... "dah takde snow".
Pemandangan Kota Paris di siang hari memang biasa-biasa saja. Kecuali part shopping. Masa meronda dan menikmati pemandangannya adalah pada waktu malam, di mana cahaya lampu bergemerlapan menjadikan bangunan-bangunan tadi yang seakan kusam nampak megah dan cantik sekali.
Hari pertama, ronda-ronda. Malamnya, saya ke Eiffel Tower, Seine Cruise and Paris Iluminiti at Night. Perkhidmatan ini disediakan Cityrama Paris.
