A lovely museum with the sweetest little garden cafe at the inner courtyard. Wander the museum then take a break for coffee & a little dessert or sandwich while sitting on the garden patio - blissful!

Yes, it will be crowded, but no, you cannot miss this. Really, the Mona Lisa is exquisite (don't listen to the skeptics!) and how often do you get to stand in front of the Venus de Milo? You MUST go.

It is SO beautiful here. Whenever I walk past I try and look blase, but it is simply breathtaking. Often there is live music here at night too. Always a cool spot for both tourists and locals to meet.

Walking through this museum, I'm amazed at how it's all just here - not behind glass, or with any guards - the building itself is where many of the works were created & the garden is incredible!

Shopping
It's kind of mandatory, oui? There is also a location in George V neighbourhood, but even just wandering around St. Honore for the window shopping is pretty cool.

Spend the day wandering the Champs, grab a latte at Fouquets, & then look at handbags at Louis Vuitton - even if you can only afford the latte along the way, you really should have this experience.

Food Scene
My favourite Spanish Tapas in the city. Order the burrata mozzarella - it's the best I've ever tasted. And don't miss out on dessert - they serve handmade Grom ice cream here! Very special & Parisian!
