Being a lover of fashion, one event that I always look forward to in Paris is the Paris Fashion Week. After a few weeks of touring the world, all of the fashion designers and models involved in the event will culminate in Paris. The usual venue of Paris Fashion Week is usually at the Carrousel de Louvre. For people who love fashion, Paris becomes a mecca for fashion during the early weeks of March. I would probably do anything to get first row seats to any fashion show during Paris Fashion Week!
My favorite annual Paris event will have to be the Vintage Car Rally every May. Vintage car owners from coming from Paris and different parts of the globe gather in Paris to compete in an annual car racing event. The race usually starts at Rue Lepic and makes it way up the Montmartre hill. This is one of the few car races that I look forward to each year. Aside from the exciting car races, what I look forward to the most are just seeing those sweet vintage cars culminate in one area. You should never miss to bring your camera when attending this event, the antique cars are truly one of a kind!
