If you are thinking about going to Paris - Go! I was never one of those people super excited to visit Europe, but I am so glad I went. A friend suggested we go to Paris for the 30th Anniversary of Diner en Blanc, we found cheap tickets and we were in Paris. I need to go back soon :)
How we got there:A group of us flew XL Airways from NY to Paris round-trip for about $400. XL Airways is cheap but you definitely get what you pay for. The seats are a little tight and I suggest bringing your own food on the flight (the bougie girl in me fasted the entire flight).
Where to stay: I loved staying at Le Cinq Codet. Its super chic, clean and the service is awesome. The hotel is also walking distance to the Eiffel Tower and great restaurants.
How long to stay : I would recommend 1 week or a little longer to really immerse yourself in the city and explore other areas in France.
Who to go with : I went with a small group of friends to attend Diner en Blanc. Paris is really best traveled alone, with one friend you really like or I think best of all with someone you are romantically involved with. It is such a beautiful and romantic city.
How to get around : I recommend the metro, which is super easy to use if you have time or the Paris Pass if you are short on time. The Paris Pass allows you to the jump the line at sites like the Lourve and transportation on the metro and tour bus around the city. If you just wanna shop and tour casually, skip the Paris Pass. If you are history and site junkie like me, get the Paris Pass.
What to do : Paris is best explored walking around and stopping in shops and restaurants where locals are dining. I loved the Parisian culture of relaxing and chatting while enjoying great food. Be sure to visit the Eiffel Tower, Lourve, Nortre-Dame de Paris and other historical sites. Sneak in some night life as well at Jangal Paris or some other night clubs.
Diner en Blanc: Is beautiful in Paris. I loved the people, bands, DJ and great vibes. Register to attend if the event lines up with your travel dates.
I loved Paris and I will be back as soon as I find a cheap ticket :) If you have any questions feel free to connect with me on Instagram - @nutellaeuphoria or email me at Shevonne_b@yahoo.com.

I researched an itinerary for a client and from there, Paris was officially on my radar. I totally want to duplicate that trip. LOVE the pic.
