Hi there!
The holidays continue, and now I’ll tell you about my trip to France. I stayed in Serris, which is just some 30 km from Paris. This place is famous for its La Valé Village, a huge outlet, very similar to Bicester Village near Oxford. Also it is just one station from the famous Disneyland so it’s easy to guess what I visited))
To tell the truth, the weather for a place which is not located by the sea was awful. It was so hot, unbelievable! About 37 degrees above 0! So you can imagine how difficult it was not just to stay outside, but also to do shopping. Nevertheless I am very pleased with the result, as the prices there are much lower than those in Russia, and the tax free makes it even cheaper. Moreover there was a perfect opportunity to try traditional French cuisine, like fois gras, escargots and of course a great variety of cheeses. And if sometimes you are too tired to eat outside, luckily there is Auchan, where you can buy everything you need.
As for the Disneyland Paris, it was my first time there, and it was stunning! The whole town of beautiful fairy tale buildings, shops full of sweets of all kinds and some crazy attractions! I’ve spent the whole day there and it was probably the best day of my trip. I’ve visited the Horror House with the greatest supernatural decorations, where the skeletons and ghosts were dancing around me. But what I wanted most of all was to try the Big Thunder Mountain attraction. Although the queue for it was huge, I just couldn’t miss it. Therefore I had to spend about 3 hours waiting for a 10 minute ride, but it was worth it!!!
So, I advise everyone who hasn’t been in the Disneyland before to visit it! Enjoy your holidays, guys!!
