A Timeless Song that Takes You to Paris

As this song starts to play, my mind drifts away to another world. I can imagine myself sitting in a café whilst drinking hot chocolate because I'm not really a coffee person. From the window next to my table, I can see La Tour Eiffel standing elegantly tall - its lights begin to glow as the sun dips into the horizon. Tourists stroll by, and so do the locals. Everyone is dressed as if they regularly are asked to be photographed for a magazine or fashion blog. The music continues playing, and everything seems like a movie. The atmosphere is bright, cheery, yet calm just like an evening stroll along the Seine. This song reminds me of Paris - a charming, historic French city. This song is called "La Vie en Rose" famously sung by Edith Piaf. But when Louis Armstrong sings it, he creates a different vibe. I do love the original version of the song, but I like this version more. Have a listen on YouTube, and enjoy the music!
