The Ultimate Guide for Parisian Travelers

        Today I have compiled a list of the best of the best. If you plan on going on a vacation in Paris, this article is for you. I will show you the best churches, museums, shopping and markets. These articles are helpful if going on a short trip. There are only so many things you can see while in the city for a short amount of time and I'd like to help anyone traveling to Paris get the most out of their experience while in the traveling.

1. Shopping

          This may not apply to everyone, especially guys, but shopping in Paris is amazing. Some of the most famous designers have come out of France including Hermes, Chanel, and Dior. If you're like me you cannot afford any of the designers I just listed above. My sport is window shopping and I did a lot of it while in Europe. So if you are looking for some of the best places to go window shopping in Paris read more about it here.

2. Churches

          Paris has some of the most beautiful churches in the world and the best part is: they're all free. The lines may sometimes be long, but it's worth the wait. Notre Dame, St. Chapelle, the Sacre Coeur are all spectacular churches. I encourage travelers to attend a service if in the city as well. It was definitely interesting to go to mass in a different country. If you'd wish to attended a service in English, the American Church in Paris has service in English and they are very welcoming to all visitors.

3. Museums

          I'll be honest, I'm not usually the type that visits museums that often, but the museums in Paris are spectacular. From the Louvre to the D'Orsay and everything else in between even the most skeptical person will find something they love here. One of my personal favorite exhibits was the Rococo decor at the Louvre (shown above.) It was a beautiful exhibit and even if art may not be your thing, these beautiful rooms could turn anyone into an art lover. Read more about museums in my latest post. 

4. Markets

            I love the market, I really can't stress that enough. I'd enter with the intention of browsing and then walking out an hour later after having purchased scarves, food, and spending a generous amount of time taking pictures of flowers, like the picture above. Just remember that the markets are only open on Saturdays and Wednesdays and are an inexpensive alternative to grocery shopping. If you'd like to learn more read this post.
