A weekend in Paris
So you’re headed to Paris for 3 days… head to some of my favorite spots! Highlighted below are the places I think you shouldn’t miss, with additional suggestions below.
stay —
Located in the 2nd arrondissement. Super cute boutique hotel with a full restaurant, morning coffee & pastry bar, & a secret library bar with some of the best craft cocktails in all of Paris.
Eat —
Incredible Italian food walking distances from Sacré-Cœur. Each floor of this restaurant is uniquely decorated & there is a speakeasy bar in the basement. Their truffle pasta is one of my all time favorites!!
drink —
Speakeasy Bar located behind a taco shop. Walk through the Taco shop & you’ll see a back door that will lead you to their hidden bar. This place is tiny, but the vibes are so fun & the drinks are out of this world.
shop —
I can’t go to Paris without stopping at Jimmy Fairly!! This is a chain, so there ar e a few locations around Paris, but they have to coolest prescription glasses & sunglasses & the prices are so reasonable. Some of my all time favorite pairs have been purchased here. They also have stores in London too!
