Fou de Pâtisserie

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of France! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things France for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of: ☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries 🌮 Local cuisine 🏛️ Museums of all kinds 🌳 Gardens & parks 🛏️ Boutique hotels 🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!

I've traveled to Paris more than 10x in the last decade. I didn't particularly enjoy the city on my first visit but it has somehow drawn me back many times! My first recommendation is to follow the example of the French - don't attempt to see everything in one day but take time to sit at a cafe and/or restaurant, people-watch, and rest your feet!

You can visit Paris cheaper, better, and more locally. Included in the guide: • How to get around Paris (on a budget) • Top cheap eats you have to try • Getting into museums for free • Top things to do under $25 per person • Top free things to do in Paris • Where to buy local souvenirs (on a budget)
