WHERE TO STAY, EAT, & PLAY IN PARIS, FRANCE

Are the Olympics inspiring you to take a trip to Paris? Or maybe you can’t wait for season 4 of Emily in Paris. No matter the reason, Paris is always a good idea and you never need an excuse to visit!

STAY: At the new @bulgarihotels for the perfect mix of Italian informal-yet-impeccable service blended with classic French glamour. Nestled in the heart of the Golden Triangle on famed avenue George V, this hotel’s unique Paris penthouse will give you the unparalleled privacy and exclusivity that even @emilyinparis would envy.

Sure, there are lots of penthouses in Paris, but what makes @bulgarihotels Penthouse extra special is that it overlooks Paris from the hotel’s top 2 floors and provides panoramic views of the nearby Eiffel Tower. And don't forget about its impressive size that somehow still manages to feel like a cozy residential setting.

Picture this… at sunrise, step out onto the 600 square-meter terrace and stroll through the private sky garden. After a morning of sunbathing, linger in the spacious @BrecciaMedicea marble bathroom, complete with a large hammam. And don’t worry about stepping out for food, the private kitchen can be utilized by your personal chef to serve up French favorites while you dine under the penthouse’s brilliant chandelier. For a nightcap (we have to have a nightcap, right?!), indulge in a drink at the private bar, nestled amongst the sky-garden’s lush vegetation.

EAT: Now if you insist on leaving your penthouse, there are plenty of spots that you can visit for a chic Parisian meal. Some of the best restaurants to check out...
@shirvancafemetisse
@balagan_paris
@lepetitlutetia.paris
@monsieur_bleu
@chezjanou
@mun_restaurant_paris
@madamadorrestaurant
@vivantdeux

PLAY: Is it even a trip to Paris if you don't shop? Head to @merciparis, @lebonmarcherivegauche, @brandbazar, @lartisanparfumeur and make sure that you pack an extra suitcase for all the treasures you'll discover.

To celebrate all of those great finds, a day trip to the Champagne region seems appropriate! Take the train for the scenic view, or have a private car lead you from champagne house to house so that you can learn everything from what type of bubbles to pair with your favorite dish to how champagne is actually made.

Reach out when you’re ready for a visit to The City of Lights. It’s one of my most requested destinations, and for good reason!
