Paris

Unlocking the charm of Paris: From the Eiffel Tower to hidden gems

When in Paris you better believe you’ll be eating good for any price! the bread is divine. At any moment you will see someone walking around with a baguette (This is not a myth!) Paris is the city of senses! It will stimulate your ears, nose, mouth & mind…

Where to eat

Libertino

Bury me with this truffle pasta and pizza. So delicious! Best pasta I’ve ever had in my life! And let me tell you the drinks a TITTA-LATEING XD. Reservations are recommended.

Le Cafe Marly

Now I’m sure you’ve seen this on your timeline before-but they just placed a seating area literally right in front of the Louvre and it is such a treat! the drinks do range at 15-euros. However I think its worth while if you aren’t going inside the Louvre (As we’ve been inside before) To just take it all in and do some tourist watching. Its pretty hilarious the type of poses people make up to get an “instagrammable” photo!

Pink Mamma

Don’t miss out on the hype. This Italian restaurant is the same cuisine as Libertino- so if you don’t get in that is another great alternative. Both equally aesthetic. Pink Mamma however is located in Montmatre so a great place to stop for an evening before exploring the town <3 Reservations recommended.

La Pistacherie

A sweet treat, If you’re a pistachio fan like myself this is the place to indulge in that craving on a hot day. Right across from the Eiffel Tower!

FOREST

One of my favorite places in Paris for lunch. The terrace is spectacular with a view of the Eiffel Tower. The food is fresh, tasty and unique flavors. I recommend the refresh salad! Perfect with an aperol in the afternoon. The inside is nice for an evening as they have a very unique aesthetic. You will have to see for yourself!

Daroco Trattoria

Beautiful Italian place for lunch or dinner. The Rigatoni was very good! Right next to Galerie Vivenne a covered mall built in 1823 with vintage and luxury shops. Definitely worth a visit, its extremely beautiful to just stroll through. Stop La Marelle for some vintage designer shopping <3

What to do

Crazy Horse Caberet

A spectacular show in Paris, skip Moulin rouge and come to this Cabernet show. If you like Burlesque you will love this show. A classy production with amazing visuals and talented performers! Indulge in Classic Cabaret Experience with Champagne (This show is completely topless!) It will blow your top off haha!

Visit the Eiffel Tower

This is obvious, if you didn’t visit the Eiffel Tower did you even go to Paris? So There’s a couple spots I recommend. Tracedero is beautiful for an evening picnic and on the opposite end on the Eiffel is Jardin de la Eiffel which you can capture this stunning photo seen. When it was completed in 1889 for the Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair), the Eiffel Tower was a groundbreaking feat of engineering and architecture. At the time, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world and showcased France’s technological prowess. Its obviously iconic!

Louvre Museum

A spectacular site to see. Seeing the entire thing will take you an entire day, so plan that accordingly if that’s what you want to do. The Louvre is one of the world's largest and most famous art museums. It's renowned for its extensive collection of art and historical artifacts, including the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
