A curated list of all my actual favorites - NOT every single street food place in Paris and certainly not every single one I've ever tried. By 'street food' I mean generally cheap (<13 EUR, with a few exceptions) grab-and-go options, where there is little-to-no sitting area; oftentimes it's just a walkup window. Eating in public - like while you walk - is actually not very common in Paris. If you get street food, I recommend finding a nearby park or garden to sit in and enjoy it while you people watch. Guide includes: 5 Sandwich places 2 French places 5 Kebab, Wrap, Falafel places 2 Place I want to try You also get: ✍️ My personal notes for each recommendation 📍 An interactive map of all recommendations 🔓 Access to all future updates (I'm always trying new places) All but two suggestions on this guide are on the Right Bank.

I love curating recommendations based on exactly what you want out of your Paris trip! ✅ Types of recommendations I can help with: Classic sites, coffee shops (laptop-free and laptop-friendly), restaurants (French and otherwise), wine bars, cocktail bars, speakeasies, museums, parks, activities, guided tours, day trips, and more. ⚠️ Types of recommendations I have limited knowledge of: Nightlife & clubbing, high-end shopping, Instagram photo spots, 🎯 Please be as specific as possible - especially for the Standard 10 Recs package - when describing what kinds of curated recommendations you want. For example, for an order of 10 recs, you can say "I want 2 French restaurants, 3 coffee shops (including 1 that's laptop-friendly), 2 museums that don't include the Louvre, 1 day trip, and 2 parks," or "I want 4 laptop-friendly cafes, 3 off the beaten path experiences, and 3 classic sites." For Premium and Luxe packages, you can say more generally what 'mix' or recs you prefer and I will do my best to provide a good balance. See packages & previous custom guide examples below.

Out of all the places I adore in France, Nice and its surrounding areas truly has my heart. This is where I dream of retiring. You're still very much in France - BUT: The people are noticeably friendlier than in Paris (no shade to Parisians, I love them too), the weather is delightful, the beaches are gorgeous, and the food has a lighter, Mediterranean flair (as opposed to the heavy dairy-based recipes typical in much of France). If 6 days sounds like a lot to you, never fear: This itinerary uses Nice as a home base and includes many day-trip options. Guide includes: 📍 High Level Plan ✨ General Tips 🍅 5 Food Not to Miss 🍴 10 restaurant/bar recs in Nice (5 cheaper, 3 mid range, 2 higher end) 🗒️ 6-day Itinerary: 3 days in Nice, 2 day trips (covering 3 locations, including food recs), 1 free day 🗺️ 7 options for half or full-day trips from Nice for your free day 💚 Pro Tips You also get: ✍️ My personal notes for each recommendation 📍 An interactive map of all recommendations 🔓 Access to all future updates (I love Nice and keep going back) 🎞️ Linked videos (where applicable) that bring recommendations and advice to life 💙 If you love this guide, I would really appreciate it if you shared it with a friend, left a great review, or contributed a tip.

Paris is a major global city, meaning incredible food from under-represented cuisines is at your fingertips. I have made a point to try restaurants from under-represented cuisines, and these ones are SO GOOD! It's not hard to find incredible French restaurants, authentic Italian restaurants, and even a plethora of mouth-watering Asian restaurants. However... this guide is different. I created this to help open your eyes to some of the other wonderful types of food you can savor here, and to shine a light on eateries/food cultures that don't always get as much hype as they deserve.

Marseille is a major port town on France's southwestern coast. It's a unique French city that has a vibe all of its own… You might not really feel like you’re in France!

BUT, I scoured the internet, TikTok, Atlas Obscura, Viator, ChatGPT, brochures, etc. to thoroughly plan this trip, not to mention asked our local Fjord tour guide for his personal recs. I've done (nearly) everything suggested on this itinerary for Days 1-3. Days 4-6 are suggestions based on my research/time I wish I had! *Some day trip suggestions may require a car. 🌱I travel with sustainability in mind. Bergen (and Norway) is a super green destination! You can do electric, zero emissions Fjord cruises (see my tour rec!), there are electric city buses, most cars are electric, and there’s simple transport by tram from the airport into the city. Norway’s incredible nature is one of the main draws, with lots of low-carbon activities to do like hiking and kayaking. Plus, the beauty of the majestic Fjords will blow you away and remind you how incredible our planet is 💚 This trip was planned for a group of 4 friends (2 couples) traveling together, without a car. Our intentions were to explore Bergen and the surrounding areas, spend time visiting with each other, and not break the bank (while not foregoing iconic experiences).
