Everywhere I Vintage-Shopped, Ate, and Explored in Paris

Buckle up, because this is a big one

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I recently went to Paris for a week. The trip was a long time coming (a 40th birthday celebration!) and of course, I loved it. The food, the art, the architecture….the walking. I didn’t take a single taxi, instead navigating the Paris streets on foot or by taking the metro. I went to a different museum every day. I ate at some fabulous restaurants, did a lot of vintage shopping…. it was an ideal trip.

Having spent a full week there, I am no Paris expert but I am really good at devising itineraries for trips. As a longtime magazine staff writer, I have written dozens of city guides and before every trip, I do a ton of research to ensure I knock everything out that I want to do and visit places frequented by locals.

So here, I’ve rounded up every single thing I did, with all my tips and takeaways (the stuff I would highly recommend, the best ways to navigate the city, etc.)
