I'm Passionate about Paris & you will be too!! +Two day trips to Lyon and Provence
Day 1: Tuesday, August 1
Settling in, Grocery run and dinner
My sister and I landed in Paris on the afternoon of August first, but by the time we got the keys to our apartment in Levallois-Perret and settled in, it was closer to evening. (We found the apartment through a friend, but if you are looking for hotel recommendations see our Paris 2021 trip highlights below). I find that overnight flights to Western Europe just aren't compatible with a good night's sleep, although kudos to the those who can catch some zzz's! This means that landing in the afternoon or evening will hopefully allow for some "catch-up" sleep so that you can start your first day of adventures well rested.
First order of business after settling in is a quick grocery run! Wherever you end up staying in Paris, no matter the neighborhood, make it your business to check out the closest (Kosher or otherwise) supermarket. Check out what they have on offer that looks interesting to you, buy a few things to sample and snack on throughout your trip and (TIP: buy some breakfast foods to munch on before you head out for the day. This will save you time, money and will give you the energy you need to start the day while leaving room for lunch and dinner.
After our grocery run, I was bombed and not in the mood to travel far to get dinner. Luckily, there was a pizza store, Le Cabanon Provencal right around the corner. Tiny place, but perfect for our needs. We got Quatre Saison (four seasons) Pizza and Mushroom Pasta that was super cheesy! See pics and location pin below.
