WHAT WE LOVE

After London, Paris is Savvy Navigator’s second-favorite European City, and just a quick trip under the Channel Tunnel on the Eurostar train. This is indeed the city of romance and a visit to Paris with your loved one just for the food and wine makes the trip worthwhile. Savvy’s favorite meal in the world is Chateaubriand with Bernaise sauce, frites and a glass or Brugundy Pinot. And there’s no better place in the world to consume it. Paris is sort of the Mecca for foodies.

Sleep — on the left bank adjacent to the Eiffel Tower in the luxurious 7 Eiffel.

Experience — Paris as Parisians do by strolling through the rue des Martyrs, a network of old market streets where locals pick up freshly baked baguettes and catch up with their neighbors.

Splurge — on elite French brands along the hip and happening rue Saint-Honoré where you’re sure to rub shoulders with the rich and famous.

Eat — chocolate to your heart’s content with 15 world-class chocolatiers to choose from in the famous Left Bank neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

Drink — at the Experimental Cocktail Club, Paris’s premier mixology bar and home to the famous Tommy’s Margarita Especial. If wine is more of your thing, there’s no such thing as a glass of house wine in any Parisian bar or restaurant.

Savor — the unmistakably French cuisine of the light and airy Monsieur Bleu restaurant located in the Palais de Tokyo center for contemporary art.

Visit — the infamous art gallery housing Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, The Louvre Museum.

See — the fascinating world of taxidermist Deyrolle. Established in 1831, this boutique has an incredible assortment of impeccably preserved creatures from extinct insects and birds to lounging giraffes and roaring tigers.

Shop — the quintessentially Parisian street adjacent to the L’Arc de Triomphe, The Avenue des Champs-Élysées.

Know — the joy of soaking the energy of Paris in by enjoying some cheese and wine whilst watching the sun set on the River Seine.

THE SKINNY

The city of love, of light, of beauty, Paris is France’s capital and bohemian wonderland. Said by many to spoil you for any future city you’ve yet to go, Paris is beautiful no matter what time of the year you visit.  Each season holds a unique charm, whether it’s the glistening cobblestones lining the alleyways after a winter rainfall or the grandeur of the Luxembourg Gardens during the temperate months of spring.

Parisian architecture boldly encompasses a magical and somewhat surreal skyline, an image imprinted on ones mind and the sensation of timeless love imprinted on ones heart. The Eiffel Tower, a fascinating and iconic symbol of the Industrial Revolution, possesses a view of the city that will leave one understanding why this is amongst one of the most beautiful cities on earth.

The Left Bank, or La Rive Gauche, not only lays claim to this Seventh Wonder of the World but also once paid homage to many famous artists including Picasso and Matisse. The river Seine runs swiftly through the city, enabling exploration and adventuring either by foot or by boat. Stroll across the Love Lock Bridge and you’ll arrive at the French Gothic masterpiece of the Notre-Dame de Paris, ‘Our Lady of Paris’, home of The Hunchback of a Notre-Dame. The ringing of the Cathedral’s ancient Emmanuel Bells, or beautiful “sound vessels”, can be heard reverberating through the enclosing avenues up to four times a day.

The Louvre Museum is not only a central landmark and historical monument but also the world’s largest museum and is housed in the Louvre Palace, which wraps around the glass Louvre Pyramid in the center of the courtyard. Parisians are renowned for their chic sense of style evident as they stride with an air of grace along the grand boulevards. A trip to Avenue des Champs-Élysées will be sure to leave any shopaholic on a high at it descends upon the historic Arc de Triomphe, with luxurious brands from Coco Chanel to Dior, and petit cafés and haute cuisine. Heavenly foods, from infamous croissants to fresh baguettes and delectable macaroons, coupled with un café or a chilled glass of French Wine will coax famished patrons who will undoubtedly engross themselves in these local delights as they weave their way down this remarkable avenue.

Made famous by countless novels, films and love songs, the City of Paris is testament to all that is beautiful. It’s sense of charm and grandeur will seduce even the most stone of hearts.
