Things To Do
Le Bouillon Chartier
Casual typical Parisian eatery- such a fun vibe, we come here every time we visit! ig: @bouillonchartier
Passage des Panoramas
Feel like you're in a hidden passageway filled with cute shops! On the weekends the paths may be lined with locals in a "garage sale" manner
La Maison Rose
If you've ever scrolled through the "explore" section of your pinterest or Instagram with a Paris theme, then you've seen this place. The most iconic restaurant in Montmarte, the food is just as delectable as the facade. ig: @lamaisonroseofficial
Place du Tertre
This little plaza is filled with artists! Whether you want a sketch of yourself, or want to browse the artists' canvas creations, this is the quintessential Montmartre spot!
Galeries Lafayette Haussmann
A multi-storied Parisian department store consisting of 3 buildings. About the most fabulous place for your shopping spree! Check out the bottom floor for specialty foods and vendors! And grab a drink on the rooftop paired with fabulous views of the Eiffel tower and city! ig: @galerieslafayette
Café du Trocadéro
Another great eatery we always visit, this one is right by the Eiffel Tower! They serve a great white base french onion soup, and this is where we had dinner the night of our engagement! Be on the lookout for your waiter having jokes. Through their accents you may find your waiter has a dry sense of humor. ig: @cafe_du_trocadero
Rue Chanoinesse
In one's opinion- One of the cutest side streets! And it's right off the Notre Dame Cathedral so it's not an out-of-the-way destination to check out!
Passage Jouffroy
Another cute passageway with books and libraries and sometimes even strung twinkle lights!
Restaurant ES
The best butter you will ever experience in your life. And one of the best meals. A one micheline star restaurant. ig: @es_restaurant

Remember the iconic last episodes of Sex in the City- with Carry in that ruffled Dior gown? It was here. I haven't been yet, but want to. Call us to get brunch, tea, or drinks here and explore! ig: @plaza_athenee
A La Tour Eiffel
The BEST onion soup (dark/red wine base). This soup alone is worth a trip over.
