Paris is one of my favorite places and I think it might be my top traveled to city (7 times and counting) so here are some of my favorite things to do - some classic spots and some more niche recs

If you want French cuisine on a budget - this is 100% your spot!!!
Bouillon Pigalle
if you love a flea market, this whole building / area has SOOO much to offer - I got cute wall prints here & a vintage dress but I would’ve brought back a lot more if I had the room in my suitcase!
Porte de Clignancourt - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)
This Marie Antoinette cafe is the cutest place ever and serves the same tea & cake the she indulged in at Versailles!
Nina's Vendôme
If you’re in the mood for a giant croissant - this is the place to get it (yes, kinda just an instagram type spot but tbh the croissant was really good)
PHILIPPE CONTICINI, Paris - 42 rue de l'Annonciation, 16th Arr.

This bar is kind of hidden but such a gem! I don’t drink alcohol but their mocktails were 10/10 & the red/retro vibe was incredible
Grouvie
You can’t go to Paris without a crepe and this little stand was 10/10
LA DROGUERIE, Paris - 10th Arr. - Restaurant Reviews & Photos
I sat down to eat here kind of randomly with some friends and it turned out to be one of my favorite meals I’ve had! Their duck was to dieeee for
La Place Royale
Cute little green space for a picnic if you want to skip doing it at one of the more known gardens
Place des Vosges | Le Marais Paris | PARISMARAIS®
Even if you’re not an art lover, the Louvre is a must if you’re in the city!
Louvre Museum
I feel like this museum is underrated
Musée d'Orsay
Usually I’m the kind of gal that will tell you to only eat the local cuisine when you’re in a new city, but I’ve been to Paris so many times that I need to venture every once in a while and this pho was SO good
Pho Bom
This basilica is stunning, but the views from the basilica are something else
Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre
If you’re looking for a free rooftop in Paris - this is one of the best! Literally just at the top of this beautiful department store
Galeries Lafayette | Rooftop
If you want a picnic at the Eiffel Tower - this is your spot!
