Paris is a popular destination for so many reasons. It is a city I believe should be on everyone’s bucket list and a city I will continue returning to year after year. It has 100% captivated me & a piece of me will always long to live there. Below you will find suggestions based on a few of my recent trips to the glorious city of lights.

Recommendations
- Book your Eiffel Tower tickets 2 months in advance! Or book a Fat Tire tour! We loved the Fat Tire skip the line tour of the Eiffel Tower.
- Do a Bateaux River Cruise. We’ve done their dinner cruise and their site seeing cruise. Both are worth it, but we really love the dinner cruise!
- Get ice cream from Berthillon on the Île de la Cité {even if it is cold outside- it’s that good}
- Take a croissant making class!
- Book a photographer! We’ve used multiple and have loved them every time! In the past, we’ve hired The Parisian Photographers, Anastasia of Abramova Guendel & Katie Donnelly Photography and loved them all! Let them know I recommended you!
- Note that a lot of things are closed on Sunday in Paris. So grab a croissant & some breakfast goodies on Saturday to enjoy Sunday morning- just in case!

April 20, 2017 at 9:16 pmI watched the video. I like the hotel a lot! It is modern, comfortable and chic. I like the bath items too.
The d’Orsay museum looks awesome. That is an excellent transformation from a railway station to a wonderful museum. I like that it is kinda noisy. I mean, you have to be quiet in other museums.

April 21, 2017 at 6:47 amLovely post! Paris is beautiful right now with the cherry blossom trees and everything. I live in Paris and still prefer to get to places by foot when hanging out in the city – unless I need to cross the entire city, obviously! :)

April 21, 2017 at 10:45 amParis is totally on my bucket list! From your pictures, it looks great. Lots of people say the city is really dirty and not as great as they thought it would be, so it’s nice to see someone who doesn’t think that way.
