I got the steak frites and an aperol spritz to complete my Paris wishlist. They both met my expectations and it was so filling, but beware of bees depending on the season you visit.
L’Alsace

My hopes in strawberry matcha was redeemed here! The matcha mochi was very strong but our drinks were great. It’s also in a nice, cultural area with many other food spots and stores.
Matcha Social Club

One of my favorite lunches and the house champagne is mandatory! I ordered a ham and cheese and I have zero complaints about it.
Au Vieux Châtelet

Breathtaking in person, and we were lucky for it to be open to visitors again! Don’t stress about the line, it goes fast—just make sure your outfit is appropriate.
Notre-Dame Cathedral of Paris

This gets overlooked as it is nearby the Notre Dame, but please make the time to view it. Make your way upstairs (it is a tiny staircase) and enter into a stunning room with stained glass windows and a balcony. Make your way over and experience this!
Sainte-Chapelle

Do not make the mistake of not staying in Versailles longer. If you need a country getaway or inspiration for writing or whatever, stay here. The people were very friendly and it’s always more shops everywhere you turn. Stay a few days—go to the cast...
Versailles

I’m a Nike fan and this plus the store on Champs de Elysses are full of inspirations! I had to buy a pair of Nikes before leaving, to take a piece of Paris home with me.

A thrift store chain in Paris, this location felt comfortable and welcoming. I did not get anything but the prices were pretty affordable.
BIS Boutique Solidaire

If you are a vintage fashion lover just put in this zip code and you are likely to find something you’re gonna love! I found some Roberto Cavalli jeans so it was a successful trip.

A double story location that gave me insight on French styling/fashion. We visited for my sister to shop but the boots, jackets, and bags are worth purchasing!
