A few favorite moments, must-haves, and how I survived the heat.
I head to Paris every June and October while Kris is there for the market. This time, the trip was longer, so I turned it into a mini work trip. I brought my video editor Alex, and it ended up becoming a combo of family time and content creation when my parents and sister joined too.
I love Paris, but I have my issues with it. The energy can be intense, and this time it was so hot I was truly uncomfortable. Add in the fact that AC is basically nonexistent, and… yeah. It was a lot.
But the food, laughs, and memories? Worth it.
Faves from the Trip:
Coffee, croissant, and best meal:
- Coconut milk iced cappuccino from Kith in the 8ème
- Croissant from the Ritz Bakery oddly shaped like a churro, but unreal
- Lunch at Grand Café at Le Grand Palais fresh, beautiful, and delicious
Neighborhoods I love: The 8ème + Le Marais
