Happy Thursday Everyone! So I’m finally wrapping up the Paris posts (sadly, I love thinking back on the trip and posting the photos, it’s so hard to not take a beautiful photo there!) with some of my favorite things we did while visiting, most of which were free or very inexpensive! I think they’re things worth doing that I know we will try to do when back. I hope they’re helpful! 🙂
Strolling Around with a Baguette
Paris is such beautiful, walkable city, that we found one of our favorite things to do was to walk around when the weather was nice. A good baguette in Paris costs less than a Euro and somehow ends up being the best-tasting bread you’ve ever had! I don’t know what they put in them, but we had several amazing afternoons enjoying a baguette and just strolling around together, taking Paris in!
Visit Champagne Region
One of our fun escapes outside of Paris was our trip to Eperny, a little country town that is home to many of the champagne houses, including Moet et Chandon. To tour the champagne houses, you usually have to purchase tickets. The ticket prices for Moet were very reasonable, around €30 and included a tour explaining how they make their champagne complete with a glass of Moet at the end!
Visit Notre Dame
This was one of my favorite touristy things we did on our trip. Part of the reason it was so special for me is because of my faith; there were so many pieces of art focused on the crucifixion, and it was such a powerful reminder to me of just how deep God’s unconditional love for me (and you!) is. It’s also just so breathtaking in person. The artfully detailed architecture, inside and out, is so lovely to look at and photograph. We were also so lucky to happen to be there while a service was taking place, and the singing was equally as beautiful!
Walk Along Champs-Élysées
Champs-Élysées is such a fun stretch to walk down! I definitely recommend starting at the top (or bottom, depending how you think of it), by L’Arc de Triomphe, as that’s a great landmark to see and place to take photos. Then as you stroll down, there are so many great places to shop and eat: Zara, perfumeries, French stores you’ve never heard of, 5 Guys, Ladurée, the Louis Vuitton flagship…and so much more. About halfway down it, you can take a right and shop high-end on Avenue Montagne, or you can take a right a bit further down to see the Grand Palais. If you stay straight, you pass through some lovely gardens and end up at the Giant Ferris wheel, Roue de Paris. You won’t be bored or short on beautiful things to see!
Visit Montmartre
What a fun little mountaintop town this was! We ended up there for an event with Revolve, but spent some time exploring after and loved the area! Cobblestone streets, cute little shops, and lovely views are some of it’s charming qualities. It also boasts the Moulin Rouge and Sacre Coeur!
Boat Down the Seine
This was one of my absolute favorite things we did while in France, which we owe a big thank you to Revolve for! There’s nothing like seeing the city from the river. I imagine you can get cheap or expensive tickets, but I’d say it’s worth buying ones where you can dine and relax! So many landmarks are visible from the river, that it’s a great way to see a lot in a short period of time!
Annnnd I could go on about more amazing things to do because France is amazing, but these are definitely my favorites!! Have you done any of these? Do you have any other favorite things to do that I should try next time? Let me know!
Bisous,
Laurelle

I absolutely love Paris and we went there last fall and all these photos are reminding me about how much I love that city. We did everything you mentioned above with the exception of the Moet tour which would have been amazing. I definitely want to go back and do more and live there for a bit…what a dream that would be! xoxo, Christine

Did you purchase your 👗👖👕👚👚👒 👠 in #Paris or did you bring them w/ you?
I love all these ideas! We’ve only been to Paris once and hope to go again soon. Love how many of your photos have a glass of champagne in them! Can’t wait to check out champagne region next time we go!
I haven’t visited Paris in the longest time, but reading your post is totally making me want to book a vacation to the beautiful city of Paris. I think it’s one of those cities that is best discovered on foot, ahh and the simple pleasures of French Baguette sound just perfect. Your pictures are beautiful, I can’t wait to book my next trip.

I love Paris, and looking at your gorgeous images makes me want to go back for a third-time visit. I think there is still so much to discover. One or two trips is not enough, I think as the city is so big. Thanks for sharing your experience. I love the cruise on the Seine River so peaceful and full of joy! xx. Gina
Thank you for sharing, Paris looks beautiful, and you have inspired me to want to travel there very soon. The trip truly looks like a dream, the baguette and champagne look great, Love the outfit!

Hey love,
How are you? I love this! I love France and I could honestly go on how are you? I love this! I love France and I could honestly go on and on about it for a lot of time. Unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to visit in a very long time. But this is a really helpful pose for people that might be around the area and don’t know their way around. Thanks for sharing
Ahh how I miss Paris. I was there in December and this post brings back so many memories! Strolling Around with a Baguette is a MUST! Our hotel was right next to a bakery and we saw everyone carrying one. We even purchased a few while we were there, It really is a way of life in Paris.

What beautiful photos and pretty outfit. It really fits the backdrop. Thanks for posting!
I am so jealous! I would love to visit Paris someday! My sister got to and she loved it!
I’ve always wanted to see Paris at night especially
Ahh it’s magical 🙂 Hope you get to go! xx
What an amazing trip! Thanks for sharing. I’d love to visit there someday. I’d love to see Norte Dame!
One of the things that has always concerned me about visiting Paris was how expensive it could possibly be. It’s so nice to know there are so many inexpensive activities to enjoy there while not breaking the bank! I’d definitely love to try that champagne tour, especially if it comes with a glass to enjoy, haha!

I love Montmart! My favorite stop on my last trip ages ago!
Omg!!! I love the pictures and you have me wanting to try the baguette. I have to share with you. We r remodeling our bathroom and I literally just decided about 4 hours ago to decorate everything from shower curtains to tooth brush holders in a Paris theme. Now if I could go there I would have some real pictures. You made it sound heavenly
Oh my goodness! A Paris themed bathroom sounds like heaven.

Paris is a marvelous city: so many historical-artistry buildings to see at night and all day, it’s like the time there has something, like the place, all unique!
It’s such an exquisite city. We had the best time! What are your favorite things to do in Paris?
