You can never go wrong with a trip to Paris, especially around the festive season, so I thought I would share some travel content this week dedicated to the City of Light. Below, I have included many recommendations on where to eat, drink, and things to do, from quaint Parisian bistros to grand rooftop bars—there is something for everyone!

Aside from the traditional monuments in Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum, I have listed some other fun things to do below:
Rue de l’Abreuvoir 75018 – One of the prettiest streets in Paris!
Emily’s Office (The Place de Valois, Paris 1st) and Emily’s Apartment (1 Place de l’Estrapade, 75005) – If you’re a fan of ‘Emily in Paris’, these two sights are a must.
Seine River Cruise – Take a cruise along the River Seine and enjoy views of Paris!
Jardin du Palais Royal (8 Rue de Montpensier 75001) – Landscaped grounds of a 17th-century palace with a large fountain, tree-lined walkways and flowerbeds, very picturesque!
That concludes my Paris recommendations round-up! Whether you simply want to go and enjoy some authentic Parisian cuisine or visit some of the spots shown in Emily in Paris, I hope this has given you some inspiration if you have a trip coming up.
