Your expert solo travel guide to all things Paris! 

Paris, France

Paris

Start your morning at Du Pain et des Idees - the perfect boulangerie. Make sure to get the escargot chocolat pistache - you won't regret it!

Walk around the corner to Buddy Buddy and get the peanut butter latte - it's to die for.

Just across the street there's a vintage shop you won't want to miss!

Make your way over to the Louvre (it's less crowded in the morning)! It is about a 40 min walk from Buddy Buddy and goes through some of the most famous arrondissements (french for districts) in Paris. This will get you acquainted with the city on your first day. 

Stroll through the 6th district and visit the infamous Cafe de Flore (make a reservation in advance!) 

Watch the sunset at the Eiffel Tower and cross the bridge - once it's dark, you can watch the tower sparkle on the hour every hour 

After a long day of walking, head to the 9th district and enjoy a delicious meal at La Petit Cadet (sit on the terrace and get the King Prawns Risotto YUM)

If you're feeling up for a relaxing evening stroll, walk the many passageways of Paris including the Jouffroy and Panoramas (conveniently located near your dinner spot)

You're in Paris - why not start your morning with a fresh warm croissant? Duh!

If you're a coffee lover, head to Cafe Noir next and indulge in french coffee galore 

Paris isn't Paris without a little art. Spend the afternoon wandering through the many famous museums the city has to offer. 

For a little fresh air, get lost in the gardens!

What better way to end the afternoon, than walking along the Seine

Make sure to hit the Royal Palace at dusk. The sun hits it so perfectly during this time, and it's a great place to take your Parisienne photos with the golden light 

If you're up for a little night time window shopping, hit up this unique designer shopping square nearby!

For dinner, try a hearty Ramen meal after a long day on your feet. 

Start the morning slow by walking the 9th and 10th districts to explore more of the city.

Try many of the Boulangerie's around the city for a warm and buttery breakfast - the Parisian way. 

After pastries, head to the Basilica du Sacre Montmartre for a bit of history, beauty and fun! (This is my favorite part of Paris - you could spend a whole day in Montmartre!)

Walk through Montmartre and visit all the cute shops and cafes, including the infamous pink corner cafe - Cafe La Maison Rose.

For an afternoon pick me up, try one of the many creperies in the square - then head to the beautiful Arch de Triumph down the long stretching hill. 

Paris is never complete without seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle one last time. Grab some cheese, bread and wine and have a sunset picnic under the Eiffel Tower!

After sunset, try a late dinner around the corner at Le Campanella. Here you can try French onion soup and creme brulee to end your perfect Paris weekend.

Voila! Your Perfect Paris Weekend Getaway Complete!

Enjoy the afternoon exploring the many districts in Paris, stroll through the Marais or for a little shopping, rooftops and fun - check out Galleries Lafayette (one of the biggest department stores in Paris) 

What's a long day without dessert? Try ice cream or cookies at two of my favorites! These have multiple locations - make sure to find the closest one to you!
