Best of Paris (After 7 visits)

Best of Paris (After 7 visits)

I am currently preparing for my 8th visit to Paris. I am in love with this city and I am very passionate about exploring as much of it as humanly possible throughout my lifetime. This is the list I would send my friends/family if they said to me "Dani, I'm going to Paris". I would be more than happy to consult with you about your trip to Paris and how to work these favorites into specific itineraries for specific areas. Feel free to email me at planformedani@gmail.com or reach out on instagram at @planforme.dani You can also book a consult or itinerary with me here through thatch! I have spent a lot of time here getting off the beaten path and seeing many things beyond the main sites. I have tried some popular things like going up in the Eiffel Tower and visiting the Notre Dame and some popular spots to eat and hang out. But I have also gotten way off the beaten path with things like a Street Art tour in the Belleville neighborhood, or visiting some more quirky dinner spots. I find this to be a fun and vibrant guide to Paris that takes you to some wonderful places.

Where to Stay

Terrass Hotel
@planformedani
We haven't stayed here as it is a little out of our budget. However, I would love to. We have also been here and seen how lovely it is. The common areas are very nice. The rooftop bar is so wonderful, the hotel is so nice and clean, the location is perfection. Some day we will stay here! I also love this location as it is easy to get to many areas of Paris.

Hôtel du Square d'Anvers
@planformedani
*** For one of my favorite views in all of Paris you need to book the superior double or superior triple room. If you do not book those rooms you will not have the Eiffel and Sacre Coeur view. But if you score those rooms the balcony is one of my fav places on earth. This is a bare bones 2 star hotel that is honestly not my favorite stay in terms of interior. You will have the basics that you need, no AC so that is something to consider in the warmer months. The staff is very kind here. Just know that everything is dated but the location is excellent in my opinion.

Hôtel Passy Eiffel
@planformedani
This hotel is beautiful and clean. The room and bed were VERY comfortable. You can book a superior room here to try to get a balcony view of the Eiffel Tower. If you do get this room the view is incredible. I emailed multiple times before my trip asking for the view but they just said "they couldn't guarantee" it. So I can't promise it either, but I can promise you that if you get it, it will be worth it. The neighborhood and area is peaceful but a bit out of the way of the main attractions. Check out my instagram reel to see the view through the link attached here! You can also book the hotel directly through here!

Le Citizen Hotel
@planformedani
I have not stayed here yet but I have just booked it for the Spring! It looks really nice and I love this area. I love the Canal St Martin and we are excited to be in a more quiet local feeling area of Paris. This hotel also looks really clean and cozy! Will report back when I actually do stay, or let me know if you do first!

La Fantaisie
@planformedani
I haven't stayed here yet but I hope to on our upcoming trip. This looks so aesthetically pleasing and has an awesome looking rooftop. The area is near a lot of things we love too! This hotel has such stunning design elements!

Where to Eat/Drink

Le Maquis
@planformedani
As of now this is my favorite place we've eaten in Paris. Although I will note it is not for everyone. There really is no menu, you just walk in and pay a fixed rate (approx. 65 euro pp) and you eat what they are serving that day. To me this is absolutely the best way to eat although I know it is not for everyone. If it is for you the food is FRESH and AMAZING and we loved absolutely everything we ate here. You must make a reservation to eat here.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My name is Danielle and I have been planning trips for the past 10 years. One thing special and unique about my guides is that I am not producing guides that I didn't currently use myself. The places in my guides are places I have been, the itineraries are itineraries that I have personally followed. Everything is real and I have vetted myself. My travel planning story started with a honeymoon to Italy and since then it has grown each and every year. I love all kinds of travel! It's hard to fine a niche because I fit into so many categories. I love nature, hiking, and being outdoors. I love beaches and sunsets and sipping wine and cocktails in pretty places. I love learning about people and cultures and history. I love street art and busy cities and I also love small towns and quieter places. I will sleep in a hostel and I enjoy a beautiful hotel. I love South and Central America and I am obsessed with Europe. I've been to Asia twice and hope to get back in the next few years. I love to eat and one thing you'll always get from me are true and great reviews of places that I've personally eaten! I have just returned from Albania and I am working on guides from that trip! My full time job is as a School Leader of Social and Emotional Learning in Philadelphia. All my travel is done on school breaks and in the summer. I have still managed to visit over 36 countries and countless cities along the way. Being a teacher my whole life is about planning and I do believe I am exceptional at it. I work VERY hard to plan incredible trips and now you can hopefully benefit from that as well!
