IT’S NO SECRET I LOVE PARIS! I DID LIVE THERE, AFTER ALL.

The city holds a special place in my heart and since I’ve been itching for a visit, I decided to compile a list of 47 incredible things to do in Paris for you guys! This will be all sorts of things! Where to do, what to eat, and more! Some will be better in specific seasons (so obviously the Christmas market is out if you’re visiting in June…) but they are all wonderful and!)

I hope you enjoy the list! Please feel free to comment with any additional tips/ideas so that our community and readers can get even more out of their next trip to the City of Lights!
