There is no better time for a guide to the city of light than the month when it is in the eyes of the world for being the home of the Olympic Games. The month of the premiere of the new season of Emily in Paris
Paris It is an iconic city, we have seen it in countless series and films, in paintings, heard about it in songs and read about it in books and much more. Without a doubt, a city like this has a huge number of monuments and emblematic places to visit, no matter how long your stay is, there are always things left to do. So, if you want to be like Emily And to encourage you to enjoy everything this incredible city has to offer, I leave you with some of my recommendations, adding some that were shared with me by the team at Nuba, a travel agency specializing in luxury experiences.
The organizing committee of The Olympic Games hired The Airweave Company to make anti-sex beds of the more than 10 thousand athletes who will compete. What are they and what is their purpose?
The basics
Depending on how long your visit is (for me, at least five days is ideal, especially if you’ve never been before), you’ll be able to prioritize what you’re most interested in seeing because there is a lot.
The Eiffel Tower and the Champs Mars
We’re talking about the quintessential icon of Paris and a great place to spend some time during this time of the games, as it will be the epicentre of the sporting celebration. The Champs Mars will be transformed into an Olympic park with giant screens broadcasting the events live, picnic areas and cultural activities. Don’t forget to climb to the top of the Tower for a panoramic view of the city.
However, if you want to enjoy a view that includes the Eiffel Tower and other important monuments, I recommend visiting the Tour de Montparnasse, just 20 minutes by metro from there, its viewing platform offers an incredible view. I recommend buying tickets online, as you can save money this way.

Louvre Museum
I’m not going to lie, this museum can be a bit overwhelming, with so many important works of art (holi, Mona Lisa) and such a vast expanse. If you’re short on time, I suggest going with a game plan, knowing what works you want to see and planning your route before you arrive. Plus, during the Olympics they’ll have a series of temporary exhibitions exploring the relationship between art and sport.

Montmartre
A neighborhood known for its bohemian atmosphere and artistic history. Here you will find the famous Basilica of the Sacred Heart (my favorite in Paris), and you can spend hours exploring its streets and enjoying its cafes. After leaving this area, we suggest you continue to the Pigalle area, which also offers many restaurants and iconic bakeries, to try the best bread in Paris.

The Marais
I would say that this is my favourite part of Paris, it is one of its oldest districts, which combines history, art and nightlife. You can spend a good while (if not a whole day) walking around its cobbled streets, full of boutiques and bistros and cafes. While you are here, don’t miss the Place des Vosges, a perfect place to take a break. There is a branch of Carrete, the famous tea room.

Notre Dame Cathedral
Following the fire in 2019, you cannot yet visit the inside of the cathedral, but you can see it from the outside and attend the Eternal Notre-Dame virtual reality experience. This experience is in two locations, one a few meters from the cathedral and the other in the Cité de l’Histoire, under the Grand Arche de la Défense, both are the same with a duration of 45 minutes and taking a virtual tour of the cathedral before the fire and through the years, learning all about its history and construction.

Where to stay?
This really depends on your plans and what you want to visit, as there are a huge selection of hotels in different areas. Also, if you plan to attend the Olympics, Nuba suggests taking into account the locations where the events you will be attending will be held and staying nearby. For example, if you have tickets for football at the Parc des Princes or tennis at Roland Garros, they recommend the Molitor Paris hotel, on the other hand, if you plan to attend the swimming or water polo competitions at Paris La Défense Arena, they recommend the Sofitel Paris La Défense. Now, if your trip only coincides with the Games, but you will not be attending, one of my favorite areas is Saint Germain de Prés, where there are many chic boutique hotels in a very walkable area, where you will find many restaurants and boutiques to visit.
What to try
We are talking about the country famous for its pastries and bakeries, here bakeries abound and there are delicacies to try everywhere. Of course, it also depends on what your craving is, if you prefer something sweet or savory, something more classic or more innovative. Speaking of the latter, there is the already viral croookie, which has already been imitated in many places, but if you want to try the original, head to Maison Louvard, the place where it was invented. You can order it to go or sit there and enjoy it at your leisure.
Obviously, crepes are also a must, you will find them everywhere in their sweet and savory versions and, honestly, for these you don’t have to spend a lot to eat a really good one.
Another must-try is a good croissant or Pain au chocolat, which you can also find in many places, but among my recommendations are Chez Meunier and The French Bastards, with several locations of each in the city. You can also visit Stohrer, an elegant and iconic pastry shop, which has been making its creations since 1730.

Something less common, but equally recommendable is flan. A dessert that is also very French and different from the one we know here, it is worth trying it on one of your visits to the bakery.
Tip: If you want to try Ladurée’s famous desserts and macaroons, avoid the Champs Elysées branch. There are several others around the city and they usually have shorter queues.
The shopping
For me, no trip is complete without a little shopping, and something I love to do when I visit another country is to look for local brands to take advantage of the distance and buy things that seem different to what I normally see around me. And, well, I don’t have to tell you that Paris is the ideal place to do some shopping.
MAISON LABICHE: This brand specializes in embroidered pieces for women, men, and children. You can choose from the garments in their collection, but something I love about visiting one of their three Parisian boutiques is that they offer customization. You can embroider a special phrase on any of the t-shirts or hoodies you like and have something unique. This also seems like a great souvenir option for someone special, since it is something that only they will have.
POLÉNE: You’ve probably seen it a lot on your IG feed, as this bag and accessories brand is one of the hottest at the moment. They have two boutiques in Paris and if you’re interested in buying one of their bags, I recommend going as close to opening time as possible, as the lines can get long to get in.
GALERIES LAFAYETTE: Understanding that department store shopping isn’t for everyone, it can be a bit overwhelming. But if you like this type of store, this Parisian icon is a must-see. You can find everything from clothing, accessories, household items, beauty products, stationery and much more. Be warned, though, there are usually quite a few crowds here, no matter the time of year. When you finish (or before you start) your shopping, I recommend going up to the top floor to the rooftop, with one of my favorite views of the city. You can take advantage and have a coffee there. Also, across the street they have another building with their Gourmet section, where you can try an endless number of delicacies. If you prefer a less crowded option (although not by much), across the street is Printemps, another well-known French department store with tons of options.
MERCI: Located on the edge of Le Marais, this is a distinctive Parisian concept store that is worth a visit. Here you can find everything from clothing, accessories, beauty products, to furniture and home decor products.

Olympic Considerations
Paris is one of the cities that receives the most tourists annually. That said, as the host city of the Olympics, this number will increase significantly, so they will be taking certain measures for the safety of all attendees and it is important to take them into account so that it does not affect your plans.
During this season, specific areas of the city will require a digital pass, called the Pass Jeux, to access them (unless you have tickets to one of the competitions, in which case a pass is not necessary). Passes are free and can be applied for through the official website: pass-jeux.gouv.fr, you will need to provide proof of identity and the necessary proof of access. Approved applicants will receive a QR code after a security check.
It is important to consider that different passes are needed for the pre-Opening Ceremony period (18-26 July), the Games (26 July – 11 August) and the Paralympics (28 August – 8 September).
