Travel Tips for Paris

October 6, 2016 Leave a Comment

I got the chance to visit Paris, France in 2009 after graduating college, and I jumped at the chance to return in September. This time I was in charge of the travel itinerary, so I read all the books and all the blogs! I couldn’t wait for shopping, pastries, and beautiful architecture. Below I’m sharing my travel tips for Paris, so you know what to eat, do, and see while visiting the City of Lights:

Where to Stay:

Book a room at ELIEL – the most fabulous bed & breakfast you’ll ever experience.
