day trip to versailles

If you are in Paris for more than a couple of days, I highly suggest you take a day trip to Versailles. Versailles has an over the top interior of the palace and a huuuugge garden. It was quite a nice day trip to get out of the city and experience some great history. And if you are as lucky as we are, you will witness an amazing sunset. ​

paris in the fall - day 3

I think it is very important to balance your vacation days with some big landmarks, museums, attractions, etc that is a must see while visiting your destination with chill days of just immersing yourself into the new culture. So that is exactly what we did on Day 3 after doing many museums and sites the first two days. I love shopping in Paris, because duh it's Paris! But one of the boujee-est things I have done in Paris was have afternoon tea at the Peninsula hotel, pinkies out and all. 

paris in the fall - day 2

When I visited Paris in the fall, one of the top things on my list was to see the Picasso gallery at Pimpidou. It was everything I had imaged after seeing the movie Midnight in Paris. We finished up the rest of a good day in Paris by visiting the Notre Dame and the best little wine, cheese, and meat bar that you have to try.

paris in the fall - day 1

Man was I lucky to get to visit Paris in the fall and enjoy the crisp, cool air and watch all the leaves change colors. And if you are visiting in the fall as well there is bound to be at least one rainy day. So I spent the afternoon in the Louvre Museum to avoid the rain. ​Sharing all of my favorite art pieces and where to find them, including way more than just the Mona Lisa.

midnight in paris

Paris is absolutely by far one of my favorite places! I love everything about the laid back culture that has cafe breaks at 3pm, picnics in the park, and getting lost on the cobblestone streets. But I would have to say seeing the Eiffel Tower at night was mesmerizing. Just sitting in awe watching the entire thing light up and sparkle through the night is truly a sight to see.
