Paris… 😍

2/28 Edited to

... Read moreVisiting Paris is always a magical experience, especially when you take the time to explore beyond the usual tourist spots. The phrase 'MOUYEAU PARIS MONUMENTAL' reminds me of the city's grand monuments like the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and Notre-Dame Cathedral, each telling a story of France's rich history. One of the most delightful parts of Paris is its blend of monumental landmarks with quaint spots often called 'Petite Frenchie classic Paris.' These smaller, charming areas—such as narrow cobbled streets in Montmartre or cozy cafes along the Seine—offer a more intimate glimpse into Parisian life. During my last trip, I made sure to visit both these grand and petite sides of Paris. Wandering the monumental areas gave me a profound appreciation for French architectural grandeur and historical narratives, while exploring the petite corners allowed me to savor authentic French cuisine and experience local culture up close. Whether you're marveling at the grandeur of Place de la Concorde or enjoying a croissant in a tucked-away bakery, Paris manages to captivate every traveler. The combination of monumental and petite experiences creates a unique balance that makes the city so unforgettable and encourages repeat visits. For future visitors, I recommend mixing your itinerary with larger landmarks and lesser-known neighborhoods. Embrace the art of slow travel by lingering in petite classic spots to fully absorb Paris’s romantic and artistic spirit. This approach offers a richer, more personal connection to the city beyond just picture-perfect monuments.

Where to find the best views of Paris
Paris is known for her views & we are not missing these spots!! Up first, Rue de l'Université is an underrated spot where nobody is. The tower peaks through but made for the BEST photos. Av. de New York this is another beautiful spot with lots of different spots along the water.

Paris mistakes I’ll never make again
Paris is an insane city but if you’re not well traveled it can be tricky!! Not using the Navigo Pass: for around $32 USD you can get an unlimited week pass. Even though we only stayed 3 days, this still ended up making the metro SO affordable. Especially since we didn’t know our way around &a
