The Perfect Paris Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive in Paris and check into the adorable and affordable boutique hotel in the 9th arondissmement

Walk over to The Hoxton Hotel, Paris for a pick-me up and a quick bite to eat. The cappuccinos are amazing and the aesthetic is very instagram friendly!

After the espresso has kicked in on your first day of travel, take it easy by walking over to Rue du Faubourg Montmarte to shop one of a kind vintage collectibles, antiques, and more!

End the night at Passage des Panoramas for a lovely glass of wine and dinner. This is a covered passageway filled with delicious traditional French restaurants.

Wake up early and experience the sunrise at the eiffel tower before everyone else does! It’s so worth it and probably one of the best parts of the trip!

After watching the sunrise, head over to Cafe Du Trocadero for more amazing views and a quiet, lovely place to enjoy breakfast. I of course, ordered the pain au chocolat

Another instagram worthy spot - walk down the beautiful rue saint dominique to le recruitement café for lunch!

Head back to the hotel and freshen up for dinner!

Walk over or take the metro to Rue Montorgueil for some fresh oysters and a glass of wine to finish the night! I ordered a dozen oysters and a glass of wine from alsace

Rise and shine! The first thing I do everyday in Paris is find a mornin a cappuccino and croissant. Mamiche is top rated and one of my fav boulangeries (bakeries) in the city! Easily walkable from the hotel

Hop on the metro and head 15 minutes south to check out The Catacombes and The Liberation of Paris museum (which is free). I’m a history nerd so I found both of these to be 10x more interesting than the Louvre but to each their own!

I spent time walking around this very historic neighborhood near the museums!

Afterwards, I walked over to the Luxembourg Gardens and strolled around for a bit. It is so beautiful and peaceful and it’s massive so you can get lost for hours!

Then I took the train from Luxembourg to the Galeries Lafayette and went shopping and had dinner at the rooftop restaurant. They even have a FREE viewing deck where you can get an amazing view of the eiffel tower!

Today is the day to explore Montmarte! Only a 10 minute train ride north from the 9th arrondissement. First stop is le grenier a pain which is famous for their pain au chocolats.

This area is one of the most adorable neighborhoods in Paris. The 18th arrondissement is where Amelie was filmed and is home to Moulin Rouge

We walked around the whole neighborhood and stopped by La Maison Rose! It’s an instagram famous pretty pink house

Stopped by Le Refuge for the most delicious cappuccino of my life!!! Right by the metro so it’s perfect as you’re leaving the neighborhood to head back to your hotel!

Time to explore the 3rd and cutest arrondissement of Paris - Le Marais!

Surprise surprise - I had a hot chocolate and pain au chocolat with my new friends at the cutest cafe! They have stuffed animal teddy beats for you to pose with! Great for solo travelers like myself 🙂

You could spend your whole day shopping down all the different streets in this neighborhood! There’s a ton of cute neighborhood boutiques, bigger stores like weekday and & other stories, and specialty shops for food as well.

Rent a bike and cruise around the city! It’s such a nice change from the metro!

One of the oldest patisseries in Paris, Stohrer is a top rated french dessert and pastry shop! I got a pain au chocolat and there’s a like out the door!

I stopped at this adorable cafe for lunch and to enjoy my favorite sport of people watching!

I spent hours on this street walking around from restaurant to little shop to cafe. So much to see, do, eat, and drink!

Paris was such an amazing trip! Perfect for all types of travelers but especially couples and solo travelers. Here are some helpful tips for visiting France: • There are so many neighborhoods to stay in! I loved staying in Le Marais (3rd) or Sentier (2nd) • The metro is super convenient and I’d recommend buying a pack of 10 tickets if youre planning on staying for a few days • The bread is to die for! The french know how to bake. Indulge in as much baked goods as possible!!!
