Gwyneth Paltrow reflected on her childhood travels, particularly a pivotal trip to Paris with her father, Bruce Paltrow. At age ten, they stayed at the Ritz and visited museums, creating lasting memories. Her father allowed her freedoms that made the visit special, including ordering French fries for breakfast and exploring alone. He explained the significance of the trip, stating he wanted her to see Paris with a man who would always love her. This experience established a strong emotional connection to Paris, which now reminds her of her father.
Travel has been a really integral part of my life. We stayed at the Ritz and he took me to all the museums - all we did was see art everywhere we went.
He said, 'Do you know why I took you to Paris, just you and me...? Because I wanted you to see Paris for the first time with a man who will always love you, no matter what.'
From that point forward, Paris became a special idea in my head, a place that I returned to many times, and that will always intrinsically hold my father's spirit for me.
