Paris

PARIS, France

Enjoy some “tres jolie” days walking around the Parisian streets and boost up your energy level 🔋 with some coffee just after/before a “little” shopping spree.
This list includes many of the city’s cafes (Paris is now a specialty coffee - and pastry - capital) and all the good spots to shop something that will surely indulge all of your needs/senses (main focus on French brands). 
💡Be sure to check the vintage selling gems spreaded all over Paris!!!

💰 By the way, massive sales happen twice a year in France: in July and January. Called “les soldes” in French, the sales normally last around four weeks and the discounts increase as the weeks pass. 
Even if you don’t catch the sales, designer shops give you the opportunity of buying small accesories (keychains for example), leather goods (belts, gloves, card holders, passport covers, etc) or scarves/caps/ties - even umbrellas, which make for exceptional souvenirs. 
Perhaps you can even get the chance of seeing the “art of making” a product in the workshop/workroom of the artisans.
     Plus, visiting the shopping venues could turn into an amazing experience as many of them are soooo Instagrammable!

Highlights:
🥐 Croissant - is a buttery, flaky, viennoiserie pastry inspired by the shape of the Austrian kipferl but using the French yeast-leavened laminated dough. Croissants are named for their historical crescent shape. The modern croissant seems to have been created by the French chef Sylvain Claudius Goy.
🥖 Baguette - is a long, thin type of bread of French origin that is commonly made from basic lean dough (the dough, though not the shape, is defined by French law). It is distinguishable by its length and crisp crust.
🧀 Fromage de France - there are more than 1,000 kinds of cheese in France! Being in Paris is being in the Ville des Fromages, the City of Cheese. Some of the most known: Camembert, 
Brie de Meaux, Roquefort, Reblochon, Munster, Pont l'Évêque, Époisses de Bourgogne, Comté. 
Tip: go for a “cheese and wine” tasting.
🐌 Escargot - any of several species of edible land snails, a delicacy of French cuisine. Although the snails eaten as escargots are terrestrial, they are technically mollusks and therefore classified as seafood.
🍷 French wine - France is one of the largest wine producers in the world.  Red wines from grape varieties like Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel. Rosé wines like the Provençal rosé and the sweet White Zinfandels. White wines like a Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, or a Moscato. Sparkling wines from Champagne and Vouvray.

Paris Guide

Café de Flore

I have purposely put this iconic cafe on the TO DO part of this guide, simply because it is not a super-fancy restaurant, nor a must try patisserie. 

It is a place of history, art and literature, and it is truly a gem for the romantics to experience. You can order a tea with some pastries and simply take in what is happening around you.

And while many of us tend to sit outside for people-watching experience, the interior of this cafe is not to be missed.

A traditional French brasserie, always associated with Saint-Germain-des-Prés intellectual life. Just one block away from les Deux Magots, they have built their fame as "literary places" during the 1930s and 1940s. 
It is still one of the most pretty restaurant of the neighborhood, even though it can be crowded with tourists. Try to be here at the opening during a week day you'll enjoy the peaceful vibe a lot more 😇

One of the most iconic cafés in Paris, Café de Flore has been a hub for intellectuals, writers, and artists for decades. For lunch, enjoy classic French dishes like quiche Lorraine, croque monsieur, or a light salad niçoise, all while people-watching from the outdoor terrace. The café's historical significance and quintessential Parisian ambiance make it a must-visit spot for a leisurely midday meal.

Cafe de Flore is one of the oldest coffeehouses in Paris dating back to 1887. Their menu is pretty simple, with sandwiches, cheeses, breakfast items, and great coffee. It’s pretty easy to find something for the kids, especially from the breakfast menu. I recommend the assortment of cheeses to share at an outside table to watch the passers by and soak in the Parisian culture.

Ancient Parisian literary café where over the years many great artists, singers, actors and writers who have made history have gathered. Despite this, the Café de Flore maintains its bohemian aura capable of attracting Parisians and tourists from all over the world who do not give up the renowned hot chocolate.

Despite being overpriced 100%, Café de Flore is such an iconic place to head to whenever you are in Paris. It's THE place to go to really feel like a local. Such a beautiful café and the staff is really polite. Bear in mind that there will most likely be a waiting line as they do not do reservations! 

Café de Flore: A classic  Parisian café in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, famous for its bohemian atmosphere and rich history of culture and literature. Founded in 1887, it has been an iconic meeting point for intellectuals, artists, writers and students for more than a century. 

Cafe de Flore is an iconic corner cafe known for famous authors, artists and forward-thinkers from the 1900s who would gather here. Visit the cafe to sit in the same places as these icons. If you wish to order something, their hot chocolate is excellent.

A Parisian institution located in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés area, Café de Flore is famous for its historic ambiance and literary connections.

Highlights: Classic French pastries, elegant décor, and a menu featuring traditional café fare.

I recommend exploring the near by area and grabbing a picture of the cafe  but honestly I think the cafe itself it’s overrated. You will have to stand in line a long time and then be rushed out 

Café de Flore, one of Paris’s oldest and most iconic cafés. It’s an ideal spot for a late morning coffee and some people-watching. 

Enjoy a café crème and perhaps a croissant.

Emblematic place of Saint-Germain, headquarters of many Parisian writers and artists. The Café de Flore is a safe bet for French-style breakfast.

Try their cheese roux

Amazing breakfast 
Very famous for historical figures to dine here 
In the saint germaine quarter with great shopping, go to breakfast here and then walk around area 

expensive and one of the most tourist cafés in Paris.
obviously it has its charms, but I don't think it's worth the hype. 
go and draw your own conclusions😜  

A timeless coffeehouse with a storied history of hosting celebrities, nestled in a picturesque corner spot, offering classic French cuisine to start your day.

One of the most touristic yet Instagrammable spots top enjoy the aesthetics, croissants & coffee. Come during the workweek early morning to avoid peak times

Famous artists and writers’ favorite cafe! Come at night to avoid the lines. I loved the French onion soup and all the dessert.

$$$ Long-running coffeehouse & celebrity haunt serving familiar French fare in a charming corner locale.

Emily and Thomas visit this cafe. It's a famous hang out spot for writers, artists, philosophers, etc. 

Legendary café in the heart of Paris
Famous for its place in literary and cultural history. 

Suggestion from Passion Passport. Open since 1800s, served Picasso, and VERY popular.

+Cheap coffee for Paris.
+Very good hot chocolate!
