Early in the morning, the small group met at the airport. The two families got to know each other and waited excitedly for departure. With the help of the WizzAir representative, we were the first to board the plane. Blanka and Milán each received a gift package from the crew, and upon landing in Paris, they were allowed to see the “sea of displays” inside the cockpit.

After checking in to our accommodation, the real adventure began. We visited the newly reopened Notre Dame, admired the stunning stained glass windows of Sainte Chapelle, and took a sightseeing boat ride on the Seine.

On Friday, the city greeted us with gloomy weather, but this didn’t dampen the group’s enthusiasm—we set off on our daily excursion. Our first stop was the Louvre, followed by the Opera House, the famous Place Vendôme, and a walk through the Tuileries Garden all the way to Place de la Concorde, where the Obelisk stands. Along the way, we enjoyed a delicious pastry at one of Paris’s renowned patisseries, Cedric Grolet. We saw many “iconic” buildings: the Grand Palais, Petit Palais, the Élysée Palace—too many to list! We continued our walk along the Champs-Élysées.

Blanka was thrilled to visit the Dior Museum, while Milán and I tried the hamburgers at Five Guys. After a short rest, we admired the Arc de Triomphe. Since we still had some energy left, we took the metro to the Pompidou Center and also saw the remains of the Bastille.

Saturday brought great excitement as we headed to the Eiffel Tower. After climbing two floors, we took the elevator to the top. Luckily, the earlier rain had stopped and the skies had cleared a bit, offering us an incredible view. We spent a long time taking in the panoramic sights of Paris.

Our next destination was Sacré-Cœur. We were greeted by a bustling and cheerful crowd at the basilica and throughout Montmartre. We strolled through streets full of shops, visited the “I Love You” wall—where the phrase is written in 250 languages including Hungarian—and of course, saw the Moulin Rouge.

On Sunday, before heading home, we visited the Dôme des Invalides to see Napoleon’s tomb.

Blanka and Milán returned home with countless memories and spent unforgettable days in the French capital. They enjoyed the sights, the many beautiful experiences, and the delights of French cuisine. This experience will surely stay in their hearts forever.

On behalf of Milán, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to our supporters: Wizz Air Hungary Ltd., Henkel Magyarország Kft., and our private sponsor Renáta, whose help made yet another child’s dream come true.
