A Parisian Getaway

A mini travel guide to Paris, France with our social media manager Luisa.

WHERE TO STAY?

I recently came across HIGHSTAY Paris on Instagram, which is a luxury apartment rental. Whether you’re going on a business trip or on holiday with your partner, friend or a bigger group - this is perfect for any occasion!

They have several apartments located in the most prestigious districts and streets of Paris, within walking distance to the best restaurants, shopping areas and landmarks.

Each apartment has been renovated by their designers, with high-quality materials and equipment. You can even book private experiences like a cooking class or boat cruise through them and their service is available 24/7.

We stayed in the “LOUVRE I“ apartment, which is located right across the Tuileries Garden and the Louvre Museum.

WHERE TO EAT?

Loulou - right across the street!

MUN - my favorite asian fusion restaurant located on Champs-Élysées, perfect for date night and amazing view on the Eiffel Tower.

Carbonis - cute Italian restaurant, great food.

Gigi - great for a fun night out and amazing views.

César - go for the second seating if you want some good dj music with your dinner. You might even spot super models like Gigi or Bella here during fashion week!

L’Avenue - a classic, you either love it or hate it.

Costes - same goes for this one.

Le relais de l’Entrecôte - classic French bistro vibe, only walk-ins, famous for their steak-frites and secret sauce.

Coco - nice place for date nights, love the live music here!

WHAT TO DO?

I think I don’t have to mention the typical touristy stuff like Eiffel Tower or the Louvre, but if it’s your first time in Paris I definitely recommend to visit those! Otherwise there are tons of wonderful parks, cute streets, unique neighborhoods and museums in Paris.

GOOD TO KNOW

Traffic is so bad, sometimes the Uber ride takes longer than going by foot. Get familiar with the public transport, rent a scooter or just make sure to leave in time for your reservation!
