After living in Paris for some time last year I decided to pay my favourite city and favourite frenchy Marta a visit. My first few days in Paris were filled with alot of rain, patches of sunshine, the most amazing day with Marta and Peter in Montmartre. Lots of rosé, making my way through the Lindt Excellence flavours (only €1.80 here!!) Find below a list of some of the things I have done here so far, and highely recommend!
Things to do in Paris:
1. Check out the permanent collection pompidou centre (free of charge) then go to the top to see the most amazing view of the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur.
2. Have a wine and a traditional french meal at Cafe Panis right by the Notre-Dame (after going in side ofcourse, make sure you look at the back too)
3. Eat croissants and macaroons!!

6. Go to Montmartre, walk up the stairs to the top of Sacré-Cœur, then get lost on the winding streets and hilly passages.

Amazing photo's! x
Great photos. I love that last photo especially.
woah, gorgeous photos!!! What kind of camera are you using?
I am going to Europe this summer, and (this is going to sound odd, bear with me) what kind of shoes did you generally wear during the daytime? I want to bring a few pairs of heels with me, but I'm not sure if that's the best idea in an old city like Paris.
I was also wondering which area of paris you stayed in? I'm renting an apartment, and there's so many areas to choose from! Which arrondissement is generally the most convenient/interesting?
Thanks a ton, I'm going to do everything on this list!

Hey - I'm headed to Paris for a month, beginning this Wednesday. Do you have any recommendations of vintage stores to go to? I'd love to do some thrifting while abroad.
Also, where are both of the patterned pairs of pants from?? They're gorgeous.

nice post

Also going to Paris in September and wanting advice on where to shop and what shoes to bring pretty please. I don't want to overpack (also going to Antibes) but want to look good :)

Dear Cornerstate & Anon, I'm working on a Paris Part two post and including shopping tips.
Dear Yufei Wang, I use a Cannon 1000D, an iPhone 4S and Olympus 35mm.
Dear Gabrielle & Lauren, the printed pants are from Isabel Marant
Dear Yufei & Anon, pack comfy shoes!! you will do SO much walking in Paris, Metro stairs, hilly streets plus there are cobblestones everwhere so heels just dont work. I suggest cons, sandals and if you really want height wedges or booties.
Happy to answer any other question x
nice
