Where to stay

Unlock perks by contacting Isabella to book your trip.

Day 1: Arrive in Paris

Once you arrive in Paris, check into your hotel and then make your way to a classic French bistro. France is iconically known for its delicious and decadent food. Grab some onion soup, escargot and wine while you are here.

I recommend Le Bon Georges for lunch.

Day 2: Visit Notre Dame Cathedral & Le Louvre

In the morning, stop by a boulangerie for delicious pastries, such as a croissant or pain au chocolat. Stroll over near Île Saint-Louis to check out the shops and galleries. Once you cross the Pont Saint-Louis, you will find yourself next to the famous Notre Dame Cathedral. Take a visit inside and walk around the surrounding area!

After this, cross over Pont des Arts to Le Louvre. Book tour tickets ahead of time for a scheduled time to enter this museum. Inside Le Louvre, you can find art paintings, sculptures and antiques from all around the world, famously known for being home to 'Mona Lisa.' After Le Louvre, take a stroll through Jardin des Tuileries.

I recommend LouLou for lunch. This upscale restaurant is next to Le Louvre, and on a nice day you can also sit outside to take in the views.

Day 3: Visit Eiffel Tower + Moulin Rouge

Start your morning off at Carette for their famous hot chocolate. I recommend making your way over to Trocadero to get the best view of the Eiffel Tower.

Try eating at La Fontaine de Mars for lunch.

In the evening, book a cabaret at Moulin Rouge. Here you can get a taste of iconic French can-can and burlesque dancing. Open since the late 1800s, this is an experience you won't want to miss!

I recommend Pink Mamma for dinner before the show.

Day 4: Montmartre

This district in Paris is known famously for the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. But if you spend the day strolling through the quaint streets, you will get a true feel of an authentic French village. You can get to the top of this hill by walking or by the Montmartre funicular. Enjoy the afternoon here and watch the sun set beside the Basilica, to take in the spectacular views of Paris.

Day 5: The Marais

On your last morning here, take a stroll through the 3rd Arrondissement & The Marais. Here you can find delicious food options and familiar fashion brands.

I recommend Breizh Cafe for tasty crepes & galettes.

If you are here until the night, I would try Le Café des Musées for dinner.
