Paris Travel Guide

Paris is one of those places you can fall in love with time and time again. There is something about the way the light hits the city during sunset and the charm that awaits on every corner. And Parisian nights, walking along the Seine with a bottle of wine, the twinkling lights of the Eiffel Tower is complete magic— wandering museums on a rainy day or drinking coffee at a cafe, I honestly can’t get enough. Paris will always be somewhere I want to return to, the Parisian cafes are full of city dwellers drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes. Even in the earliest hours of the morning, people are wandering through the streets. Every time I go to Paris, I explore new arrondissements, feeling more like a Parisienne each trip. My passport is full of stamps to and from, and I can’t help but feel like I leave a part of me there every time I leave. Between the cafes, coffee shops, museums, and shopping, I have jotted down a list of my favorite places to go. Paris is a beautiful and charming city, and it is easy to see why they call it the city of love.

I plan to go to Paris often, and sometimes dream of living there even if it’s for a brief moment. The more I go, the less I pack. I bring only my favorite staples and wear things on repeat. Paris fashion is different than Los Angeles and yet, I love them both equally. Sometimes I feel like I resonate with one more than the other but they are always interchanging, both so vividly a part of my personal style. I’ll be back soon.
