Weddings, Wine, and Warm Nights in Europe
Eugenie Bouchard’s summer started in Devon, United Kingdom, where she attended her sister Charlotte Bouchard’s wedding. Soon after, she spent 24 hours in Paris, France.
“I personally am aiming for a little Euro vacation in the summer. I have some weddings to attend, so I’ll be making the most out of my time there.” – (Eugenie Bouchard)
Bouchard loves visiting Paris during the summer because of its long, bright evenings.
“I speak French, so I love going to France. I think Paris is one of the most beautiful cities, and I love going there in the summer when it’s warm and the sun stays up so late. It’ll be 11 pm and the sun is finally setting. That’s summer. Long, nice dinners, and it’s light outside by the time you’re done. It just feels like the way we should be living.” – (Eugenie Bouchard)
