I always wanted to visit France and Switzerland, and this summer, my wish came true. I traveled to France and Switzerland with my family, and we visited a lot of fun places. It was the most memorable experience of my life, and I would like to share it.

Eiffel Tower

This is the first place we visited after landing in Paris. It is exactly like what I have seen in pictures, perhaps even more beautiful.

Bateaux Parisiens

From Eiffel tower, we set out to discover the rest of Paris by the Bateaux Parisiens. As we sailed on the Seine river, we saw various monuments which illustrated Paris’s culture and history.

Champs Elysees

Then we went to explore Champs Elysees Paris, which is a glamorous avenue. The buildings on both sides have an amazing symmetrical look.

Grand Palais

From Champs Elysees, we went to the Grand Palais. It is a historic site that hosts an exhibition hall and a museum complex.

Arch De Triumph

I was always amazed by the magnificence of this monument when I saw it in postcards. I never thought that I would visit it one day. It was surely something worth admiring.

Orsay Museum

In my art class, there are hanged numerous replicas of art pieces from famous painters. When we visited the Orsay museum, then I got to see the real ones, and I was full of awe.

Notre Dame Cathedral

It is like those castles that you will see in a fairytale. It is a fine sample of French gothic architecture. I wish I could have taken more photos.

Disneyland

The highlight of our trip to France was the visit to Disneyland. I always wanted to go there, and it was a lot of fun. I got to see all my favorite Disney characters, enjoyed all kinds of rides, and the games were simply amazing.

After wrapping up our trip to France, we decided to drive to Montreux Switzerland. It was a mesmerizing experience that I will cherish forever. The countryside of Switzerland is breathtaking.

Col du Pillon

We first visited Col du Pillon, which is a mountain pass in the western swiss alps. We also enjoyed husky dog sled rides and the world’s highest bobsleigh track.

Interlaken

Then we went to Interlaken, which is a wonderful resort town. There we enjoyed sailing in the emerald-colored waters, and I really loved that.

Jungfraujoch

Any trip to Switzerland would be incomplete without visiting Jungfraujoch. So, we decided to visit it by train. Jungfraujoch railway station is the highest railway station at 3454 meters. This journey was a pleasant one, and I enjoyed it.

Lindt Swiss Chocolate Heaven

While at Jungfraujoch, we visited the Lindt Swiss Chocolate, Heaven. It is a sweet way of enjoying being on top of Europe. It is the highest LINDT Chocolate Shop in the world, and their chocolate is simply remarkably delicious.

Rhine Falls

Then we went to the Rhine Falls. I have never seen a waterfall so magnificent and strong. The currents were flowing too powerfully, and it was making an elegant frothy texture. It is a sight worth being praised.

Limmatquai

Visiting Zurich was the last stop of our trip. We went to Limmatquai, which is a street on the right-hand bank of the River Limmat. It is a very peaceful place with a unique charm. Taking a boat ride in the quiet Limmat river is a very relaxing and magical experience.

This concluded our trip, and we finally took a flight back home from Zurich airport. These were the best days of my life. I made many amazing memories and had lots of exciting experiences.

I am looking forward to visiting France and Switzerland again someday.
