A boutique hotel conveniently situated in Montmartre, near shops, dining, and transit. We enjoyed the suite style room and rooftop restaurant with sweeping views of Paris, and another rooftop bar at night where you can see the sparkling Eiffel Tower in the distance.

Known as Les Puces (The Fleas), this huge market is a must for vintage fashion enthusiasts seeking adventure. Explore their flea market with rare finds, history, and cafes. The market is only open Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, so plan accordingly!

We spent our first night in Paris on this romantic dinner cruise, which was the perfect opportunity learn about the historic areas we'd be exploring over the next few days, and to unwind and enjoy each other's company while we adjusted to the time difference.

A remarkable display showcasing the Louis Vuitton brand's history, creative collaborations, and innovative designs. LV highlighted incredible collabs with famous artists and pop culture icons over their history. I was able to channel this experience a few months later when doing a Sketch Event in their Flagship store in Tampa! As of March 2025 you can still see this exhibit.

An essential Parisian experience, this live show is bursting with pizzazz, surprises, and will certainly spice up your visit. Afterwards, look for the secret back entrance to the rooftop bar and enjoy wine behind their famous rooftop windmill!

To celebrate our anniversary we reserved one day just to visit the Eiffel Tower and have lunch at the 2 Michelin Star restaurant, Le Jules Verne. We ascended via private elevator to stunning views, and enjoyed a sophisticated meal that definitely broadened our palate. There's so many amazing cafes and restaurants in Paris that you can't go wrong, but this was a unique experience!

This incredible exhibition closed in July '23, but was an impressive presentation of designers whose impact on fashion in and around 1997 changed the landscape of Haute Couture. I was amazed by designer sketches (of course they spoke to me!) and original-from-the-runway masterpieces and amazing works from Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, Givenchy, Christian Dior, Hedi Slimane, Stella McCartney, Nicolas Ghesquière, Olivier Theyskens, and Gianni Versace.

We squeezed a trip this landmark in on the fly after being told about it from some travelers we met on our trip. Opulent, stunning, and memorable, we were able to explore the palace, appreciate its historical importance, and admire the spectacular and expansive gardens. There is more artistry and detail per square inch in the Palace than I've ever seen! A must-visit if you've made it as far as France, Versailles is around 40 minutes from central Paris.
