Bringing back Paris’ romanticism with a sprinkle of realism, this itinerary includes a detailed day-by-day description of the best things to see and do to tick Paris off your bucket list!

Paris Bucket List Ticked: Weekend in the City of Lights 

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.

Oh, we're just getting started!

Now that I have a travel buddy, my wanderlust has been awakened like never before. I didn't do all my travel with her, but with her finding cheap flights, I finally got to go places I never thought I'd get to and they were just so much more accessible.

The vast majority of 2018 was spent doing weekend trips, which turned out to be our "thing". Don't let anyone tell you you need to spend more than a week traveling, even in Europe!

10 Days Paris Itinerary: What to See, Eat & Stay

Trocadéro

The best or one of the best viewpoints on the Eiffel Tower. It's truly suggested to go in the evening or at night so that you can enjoy the magic of lights. Also, from sunset time the Tower glitters every change of the hour. 

One of the best pictures stop to get pictures with the Eiffel Tower. Personal tip: go on the sides, where the stairs are to take the pictures, it is less crowded and the view is better.

The Trocadero is across the Seine River from the Eiffel Tower which makes for a fabulous view. This place was named in honor of the Battle of Trocadero and is a must-see.



If you don't want to sit in the grass and picnic at the Eiffel Tower this area is a great alternative.  You can relax here with a great view and just take in the scene.  

A spacious plaza with fountains, gardens, and cafes, where you can snap some more stunning photos of the Eiffel tower from a different perspective

Another view from the back of the Eiffel Tower. This one is farther away so gives you a full view of the Tower, which is really pretty.

One of Paris' many squares, this one has full views of the Eiffel Tower from across the Seine as well as expansive gardens and lawn.
