STAY


There are many great hotels options in Paris which made it hard to select options. Our personal favorites are:

The Hoxton Hotel, as we cannot get enough of the wonderful renovation mixing old and new in a very hip way, especially the indoor spiral staircase (300-year-old staircase ascending from the courtyard-style lobby through five palatial floors)

Off Paris Seine: this outside the box hotel is floating on the Seine River. We love the idea of waking up on a boat and having a morning swim at the pool.

SIP A DRINK


The Grand Paris mosque located in the Latin Quarter is such a peaceful haven in the city and the perfect spot to head to at tea time, and sip a mint tea along with sweets. We can’t get enough of the luxurious garden views and ceramic tiles that make this spot so unique in the French Capital.
