Paris Tips

Many of you are asking me what the greatest spots are. Places where the locals come, so not the touristic ones. Hereby a list of my favorite places in Paris:

Best places to take photos

Pont Alexandre III.

 

Restaurant/ Café

Le Brebant. Great interior and good for breakfast till diner. 32 Boulevard Poissonnière, 75009.

Loup. Has a great interior too. Try the cheese cake! It’s a special one from the owner’s aunt in LA. 44 rue du Louvre, 75001. http://www.loup-paris.fr/

Chez Ralph. Yes, the romantic garden of Ralph Lauren. Definitely worth a try (they have caramel popcorn when you drink a coffee 🙂 ) 173, boulevard Saint-Germain, 75006.

Ladurée. You can’t miss Ladurée, ofcourse. Take a quick look or have a lunch. I am personally not really a big fan of it, but it’s great to see it once.  75 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008

Bon Marché. 24 Rue de Sèvres, 75007. Metro 12, Babylone
