The Best Souvenir in Paris
As a visitor in Paris, I found the best souvenir to be a hand-drawn portrait from the artists at Place du Terte in Montmartre. This charming area offers a break from the typical tourist gifts and provides a unique experience. The artists, who have worked hard for their spots, offer various styles of portraits. My family and I had our portraits drawn, and despite the initial discomfort of being watched by passersby, it turned out to be a delightful experience that allowed us to soak in the Parisian atmosphere. For 50 Euro per person, we received quality portraits that will serve as lasting memories.
