Day 1

Le Saint-Regis - Paris
This is my personal spot that I visit EVERY SINGLE TRIP. I always come for “le petit dej” a small breakfast and espresso. It’s sooo special and a total neighborhood gem. So what better spot to start your trip!
See More
Île Saint-Louis
This area is just perfect for a picture of walk along the Seine. Get lost in the small streets and explore the shops.
See More
Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection
I feel like this is one of the most overlooked, museums in Paris, come in to see whatever the current exhibit is.
See More
Le Peloton Café
Another Paris, favorite for third wave coffee, I usually pick up a cappuccino or latte to go.
See More
Place des Vosges
My favorite square, and all of Paris, come here for a stroll or kickback on one of the picnic benches. There’s also tons of shopping to do here.

RESTAURANT AU PASSAGE
Modern tapas meets wine bar, meets an absolute blast. Book in here ahead of time for your trip. It’s the perfect spot to start the trip.

Day 2

Télescope Café
It’s a minimal, one of the first third wave coffee shops that opened up in Paris. I love the modern space, and they often have homemade sourdough bread. Grab a quick bite here in neighborhood before starting your day!
See More
Jardin du Palais Royal
One of my favorite gardens to go for a walk, it’s quieter here and incredibly picturesque.
See More
Louvre Museum
Today is for the classics, I always recommend the Louvre museum. It doesn’t matter how many times you have been before. There is so much to see here and I will try to carve out 2 to 3 hours to visit.

Kodawari Ramen (Tsukiji)
It’s in unassuming meal in Paris, this Ramen shop transports you to Tokyo, and it is so yummy. It’s one of my favorite cheaper eats in the city

Petit Palais
If you’re looking for one more museum to hit, this is it. It’s small, but has a great collection of historic art. I also really love their gardens here.
See More
Bateaux-Mouches
If I could put my childhood on a postcard, it would be a sunset, boat ride on the bateaux-mouches. I would try to book tickets in advance, it is quite affordable to have a scenic Sunset ride on the river that shows you all the different sites.
See More
Les Marmottes
Another neighborhood, favorite of mine is this raclette restaurant, melted, warm cheese, scraped over potatoes, and saucisson is just the best.
