Paris
Paris, need I say more? City of love, city of light, city of whatever you want. You can visit anytime of the year. I love Paris in the springtime, I love Paris in the fall, I love Paris in the winter in it drizzles, I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles. There is plenty to do, see, and eat so plan accordingly.
​
Where to Stay:
Paris is divided into 20 arrondissement numbered 1-20 starting from the center of the city and going counter clockwise in a circle.
-
7th Arrondissement (Eifel Tower) is a great choice for first-times. Located near the Eiffel Tower and in close proximity to many attractions, it's a great base to explore Paris. Tip: for an unforgettable stay, look for a place that offers a view of the Eiffel Tower.
-
Le Marais (3rd / 4th Arrondissements) is the hippest district in Paris and one of our favorite places to stay. Plenty of nightlife options, restaurants, boutiques, and more.
-
Saint Germain (6th Arrondissement) is a great choice for families or people looking for a classic Parisian neighborhood away from all the tourists. Plenty of cafes, shops, and boutiques to enjoy.
-
The Latin quarter (5th Arrondissement) is a great option for students and budget accommodation with plenty of cheap food and drinks around.
​
Where/What to Eat:
-
It goes without saying, try a pastry, a baguette, macarons and some chocolate (or plenty of chocolate!).
-
You must eat cheese, and if there's one place you can do it then try it at Laurent Dubois.
-
Have some wine and small plates at L'avant comptoir wine bar.
-
Falafel at L'as Du Falafel for a quick and cheap bite.
-
You can't leave Paris before you try Escargots and onion soup.
-
Try a caramel treat from Jacques Genin.
-
For some great dinner experiences (and Paris does it will!) try any or all of these places. Chez L'Ami Jean, Bistro Paul Bert, Josephine Chez Dumonet, Juvenile's, Le Chateaubriand, and Guy Savoy.
-
Have a coffee or glass of wine at Les Duex Magots or Le Procope.
​
