　　Today, I want to talk about my future travel plan to Paris.

　　It is the most popular city in the world, so I need to make sure that I have a detailed plan to explore the city of love.

　　I’m actually planning to go there in the summertime after three years. I know it’s the school holiday which means it’s going to crowded, however the biggest reason that drives me to go there is to watch the Olympic Games in 2024.

　　First off, I think I might need to learn a little bit of French in order to communicate with the locals and have a better chance to soak up its culture. Sometimes we will feel more comfortable if we can get over the language barrier. So that’s on top of my list right now.

　　And then I have to say that Montmartre is a must-go, it is a charming hillside neighborhood with amazing views of Paris, also a popular spot for world-famous artists who worked and lived there and around. As from what I know, artists like Picasso or Van Gogh found inspiration in the stunning streets and the atmosphere of this place. Therefore, I really can’t wait to go there and see those picturesque sites with my own eyes.
