Me and my wife don’t often get the chance to go on holiday just the two of us, but when my parents in law offered to look after the children for the week it was time to book a romantic holiday. I chose Paris because my wife has never been and it is after all one of the most romantic cities in the world.

I booked a small boutique hotel situated near the Eifel Tower and managed to secure a room with a view of the magnificent structure, which I’m sure my wife will love.

We are going to do the usual Paris tourism things such as the Eifel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral and The Louvre, and hope to get a bit of shopping done on the Champs Elysees.

I’ve been to Paris a few time before so am used to using the Metro system to get around; it’s quick and easy to get just about anywhere in Paris and they usually run on time, which makes a change living in the UK.

We fly from Leeds Bradford Airport on Sunday and I’m really looking forward to it; the camera is fully charged, I’ve got my Euros and our passports, so bring on Sunday!
