1. For the best Jambon-beurre baguette sandwich ever, check out Le Petit Vendome.

2. Our personal favorite restaurant in the city is Restaurant Mieux in Montmartre. Just a warning, they spoke limited english, but the food was divine. You'll need a reservation.

3. For unforgettable beauty and home gifts, Officine Buly is not to be missed. They have multiple locations in Paris, so be sure to check out which are closest to you. Highly recommend the scented matches in their scent, Retour D' Egypt.

4. The Louvre and Centre Pompidou are great museums in Paris. The Centre Pompidou is Sara's personal favorite because of their contemporary art collection.

5. If you're looking for something spooky to do, check out Paris' catacombs.

6. The best french macarons in the city are Pierre Herme...trust us! There's a Pierre Herme counter at Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet, as well as a few other locations around Paris.

7. If you're feeling adventurous, we recommend trying escargots. They're delicious, especially with a nice Kir Royal cocktail.

8. Check out some abandoned train tracks that have been turned into a park in Paris at Le Petite Ceinture.

9. The Tuileries Garden and Luxembourg Gardens are beautiful parks to stroll through (they're on opposite sides of the river). We also recommend walking along the Seine for a lovely experience!

Need essentials?

If you're needing a market or pharmacy goods, Monoprix is a big chain in Paris and should have what you're looking for. There are plenty of locations, so be sure to check Google Maps for which is nearest. Mono'P is a smaller version of the store with a more limited selection. Local pharmacies are great too!
