Before hitting the South of France, we made a quick pitstop for just 1.5 days in Paris. Here’s a guide to some of the things we did, but the city has left us wanting to revisit it and explore more!
1. Ditch Google Maps and simply WALK!: The streets and public transportation network of Paris makes it incredibly easy to get to anywhere and everywhere in the city. 🚶♀️🚊 We especially loved the 16th arrondisement, not only for its gorgeousness, but it was surprisingly quiet when compared to the hustle and bustle of the rest of the city. 👌🏽
2. Indulge in French food! : The food here is exquisite to say the least. Devour the croissants, hot chocolate, and the local food 🥐☕️ to your hearts content. & were our favs!
3. Eiffel Tower (who are we kidding!) : Simply walk around the 7th arrondisement, and along the many bridges on the Seine river.
4. Seine River Cruise : A 1.5 hours ride that will leave your jaws dropping at all of the beauitful art-noveau facades and Parisian architecture. 🤩
5. Trocadéro : Across the river from the Eiffel Tower, this public plaza has some of the best uninterrupted views of the monument. We particularly loved the street performances and music here, and sat here for hours. 🎶❤️
6. Louvre Museum : Stunning, to say the least! The massive Tuileries garden in front, and the Place de la Concorde is a nice place to unwind, especially during sunset. 🌅
7. Pick a monument of your choice (there are 100s in Paris!) and dedicate a few hours to it and the areas around! :

9. - We were staying close to the 4th arr, so we happened to stumble upon the Notre Dame cathedral ⛪️ , a psrt of which was under renovation especially after the unfortunate fire that took place a few years ago. Nonetheless, the area around and the energy of the place is very fun and bustling! -
10. We also visited the Arc De Triomph during our walks in the 16th arr.
These are just a few of the hundreds of things that Paris has to offer! 😯 We would recommend you to to explore the city at your own pace, and allow yourself to be surprised at every nook and corner of this city. ☺️
