A Weekend in Paris: Strolling Through the City of Lights
Paris always manages to enchant. For those who prefer to embrace the city's rhythm at a leisurely pace, there's something magical about simply strolling through its neighborhoods, taking in the sights, and experiencing the Parisian lifestyle.
Day 1: The Parisian Heartbeat
Our weekend began early, flying into Orly Airport and heading to Café Kitsuné at the Palais Royal for a light breakfast. We checked into Hôtel de l'Arcade near Madeleine — intimate atmosphere, great location. We stumbled upon Cédric Grolet's new store and discovered incredible freshly-baked croissants.
Lunch at Wild & the Moon for colorful plant-based bowls. Then a Lagree class at Snake & Flakes and an evening wander through Montmartre. Dinner at Gallopin — classic French fare, unforgettable fries.
Day 2: Indulgence and Chic Discoveries
Quintessential Parisian breakfast at Ladurée in Saint-Germain, then boutique-hopping: L'Orangerie d'Isabelle, Assouline, and Anja Paris Costumi.
Lunch at Ralph's inside the Ralph Lauren store, then afternoon tea at Lutetia Brasserie. Evening crepes at Crêperie des Cannettes, then dinner at Tekes with friends — vibrant music, great food.
Day 3: A Slow Morning in Le Marais
Matcha to-go from Café Nuances, then a visit to Centre Pompidou. We wandered through the cobblestone streets of Le Marais, and finished with a comforting lunch at Camille Bistrot.
