Paris is one of those cities that just pulls you in—the romance, the history, the food—it’s impossible not to fall in love. From morning walks along the Seine to late-night views of the Eiffel Tower, there’s an undeniable magic about Paris. During our visit, we were completely swept away by the charm of the cobblestone streets, the incredible flavors, and the effortless beauty that seems to linger in every corner of the city.
One of the first things we did was hunt for the perfect pain au chocolat, and Paris delivered. We stumbled upon a small neighborhood pastry shop where the chocolate was rich, the pastry was flaky, and the whole thing practically melted in our mouths. Paired with a coffee at a sidewalk café, it was the perfect Parisian breakfast. We made it a mission to try a different pastry shop every morning—and let’s just say, we weren’t disappointed.
A visit to Paris wouldn’t be complete without experiencing the Eiffel Tower in all its glory. One of the best viewing spots we found was from the Trocadéro Gardens—the open space and fountains make for incredible photos. Another hidden gem is the Pont de Bir-Hakeim bridge, which not only offers stunning views but is also less crowded than other spots. Seeing the tower sparkle at night is pure magic—it’s one of those “pinch me” moments.
Paris isn’t just a city—it’s a feeling, a flavor, and a moment you’ll want to relive forever.
Paris is known for its rich French cuisine, but we were surprised to find some incredible Japanese food as well. We had an unforgettable ramen experience at Kodawari Ramen, where the broth was deep and flavorful, and the noodles were perfectly chewy. Another standout was Takara, one of the oldest Japanese restaurants in Paris, known for its delicate sushi and fresh sashimi. It was amazing to find such authentic Japanese flavors in the heart of France.

And then there’s the hot chocolate. We had the best cup of our lives at Angelina, a historic Parisian tea room. It was rich, thick, and almost pudding-like in texture—a true indulgence. Sitting there, surrounded by gilded mirrors and Art Nouveau decor, we couldn’t help but feel like we’d stepped into another era. That’s the thing about Paris—it makes you feel like you’re part of a timeless story.
