<\/p>\nParis is one of our favorite cities to visit. If you are traveling near France, we recommend making some time to visit this charming city. There is much to see, but we narrowed it down to our favorite can’t-miss sites for the ultimate 48 hours in the City of Lights.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With only 48 hours, you want to get up and out of your hotel room early! Start your morning with breakfast at\u00a0Cafe de Flore<\/a>. It\u2019s the oldest coffeehouse in Paris, so you\u2019ve likely seen a lot of breakfast posts on Instagram from this spot. Order a cup of chocolat chaud\u00a0(hot chocolate) or coffee, a croissant with some jam, and watch Parisians frolic through the city as Paris starts her day.<\/p>\n Next, walk to the nearby\u00a0Jardin du Luxembourg<\/a>\u00a0and stroll through the park, orchards, and rose garden.\u00a0Make your way north toward the Pont de l\u2019Archev\u00each\u00e9. This bridge is behind Notre Dame, and thus it\u2019s a very popular spot for photos. The bridge leads to a cobblestone pathway along the Seine, giving you a breathtaking backdrop of the famed Parisian cathedral. You may have seen this bridge covered in “love locks” not too long ago (they have since been removed).<\/p>\n Head inside the\u00a0Notre Dame Cathedral<\/a>\u00a0and prepare to be astounded by the incredible architecture. Then it is a quick 5-minute walk to Sainte Chapelle<\/a>, a royal chapel in Gothic-style. As you enter Sainte Chapelle, you’ll be immediately stunned by the beautiful stain glass windows throughout the church.<\/p>\n Across the street, take a quick peek inside the very quaint Shakespeare and Company<\/a>. This bookstore is the oldest in France! From here it is a quick 10-minute walk to the Latin Quarter where you can stop for a glass of wine with excellent bread and cheese. If you did not make it to Cafe de Flore for breakfast this morning, it’s not too far from the Latin Quarter and open for lunch and dinner.<\/p>\n Next, hop on the Metro (much faster and cheaper than Uber or a taxi in Paris) and head toward the\u00a0Louvre<\/a>. You can\u2019t come to Paris and not visit the Louvre! I\u2019d\u00a0purchase your tickets in advance<\/a> to avoid the long line you\u2019ll inevitably come across at any time of day to get in. After viewing the famous Mona Lisa, take another wine break at\u00a0L\u2019Ecluse Saint-Honor\u00e9<\/a>.<\/p>\n Finally, stroll through the Jardin des Tuileries at sunset before it\u2019s time to get ready for dinner. We highly recommend\u00a0Le 39V<\/a>\u00a0near the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es. It\u2019s a bit pricey, but the food and views\u00a0are unbeatable. You can even catch a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower from the patio! It\u2019s the perfect ending to a perfect first day.<\/p>\n Breakfast should most definitely be had at\u00a0Angelina\u2019s<\/a>. Indulge in the Angelina Breakfast option with hot chocolate. Then, hop on the Metro to Montmartre, which is our owner Lori’s favorite area in Paris. After that, get off at Lamarck\/Caulaincourt station and head toward La Maison Rose. Next, pay a visit to the towering\u00a0Basilique du Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur<\/a>\u00a0and overlook the sprawling city down below.<\/p>\n After taking in the sights of the city, start down the famous steps at Square Louise Michel and walk towards\u00a0Le mur des je t\u2019aime<\/a>. This is also another highly popular spot for photos next to one of the most amazing creperies in the city\u2014Cr\u00eaperie Broc\u00e9liande<\/a>. Here they have savory and sweet cr\u00eapes that cannot be missed.<\/p>\n Next, hop back on the metro and get off at Trocad\u00e9ro station at the Palais de Chaillot. Cross the Jardins du Trocad\u00e9ro and Pont d\u2019I\u00e9na toward the most famous landmark in all of Paris\u2014the\u00a0Eiffel Tower<\/a>. Save precious time by\u00a0buying your tickets online<\/a> in advance to enjoy the birds-eye view of Paris from both viewing levels. Try taking the stairs down\u2014it really is a trip!<\/p>\n If you chose to head to the Eiffel tower after leaving Montmartre, next check out the Arc de Triomphe for a spectacular view of the city. Then work your way back toward The Louvre for lunch at a place called\u00a0Le Souffl\u00e9<\/a>. After lunch, do some much needed retail therapy at Champs Elysses<\/a>.<\/p>\n After shopping, we suggest having dinner at\u00a0L\u2019Absinthe<\/a>\u00a0(if they are serving the vegetable risotto, GET IT!). If it happens to be a Thursday night, make sure to go to the\u00a0Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay<\/a>\u00a0for a late night museum visit. The museum is open until 9:45 pm on Thursdays, so we highly recommend taking advantage of that! Again,\u00a0buy your tickets online<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lastly, to finish off your night, head back to the Eiffel Tower and enjoy the twinkling lights. You can catch them for the first 10-minutes of each hour. If you weren’t in the mood for dinner at\u00a0L\u2019Absinthe,\u00a0<\/a>opt for a six-course meal on the second floor of the Eiffel. Our owners Lori & Kem dined here on their most recent trip to Paris and deemed it a once in a lifetime experience. It’s splurge, but\u00a0 incredible, and an ideal way to end an incredible trip to Paris. You will need to make reservations well in advance.<\/p>\n If you happen to find some downtime or are looking for alternative activities\u00a0to the ones we mentioned above, some of our other favorites in the city of Paris include visiting the incredible Palace of Versailles, cruising the River Seine, and Musee d’Orsay<\/a>.<\/p>\n Do you have any Paris favorites that we missed?
