"I haven't been this sick in over a year," she added.

"It's our final day in Paris and I'm honestly really glad to be going elsewhere now and changing the environment.

"We saw this amazing sky clear last night for the first time and it was stunning."

Before heading to Paris, the pair enjoyed downtime in the Maldives on their honeymoon.

She previously said how excited she was to honeymoon in Paris as the pair have never been to France or Paris before.

"It's so special that @mark.lassey and I have never been to Paris before, so we get to share it together for the first time," Rice wrote underneath snaps of them under the Arc de Triomphe.

"I purposely never travelled here because I felt it would amplify my desire for love and how alone I was if I came to the city of love as a single woman.

"Trust His timing and His plan… it could be right around the corner!"
