Travel during the first two weeks of December to avoid crowds! Skip paying to go to the top and get the best views from Arc de Triomphe. Go across the river for great views of the tower especially at night.

Fantastic hotel right next to Cafe de Flore. We had Free breakfast included with our stay and it was a great spread of food! The room had a beautiful large bathtub and shower. We loved getting our box water and chocolates next to our bed every night. The staff was amazing as well.

Pay 13 Euros to climb to the top of the Arc. The best view of the Eiffel Tower.

Is a little over rated but the food was still delicious. It is away from a lot of the tourist attractions so be aware of that. You have to make a reservation on their website. Try the truffle pasta and the Cacio e Pepe which was our favorite.

Yes the hot chocolate is worth the hype. Make sure to order it with the cream and a croissant. Skip the rest of the food, it is overpriced and not that good.

Famous artists and writers’ favorite cafe! Come at night to avoid the lines. I loved the French onion soup and all the dessert.

Fun restaurant with live music some of the nights. The mushroom soup was to die for!

Make reservations online and go Thursday night to get discounted tickets. The 5th floor has many famous artists. You only need a couple hours to visit, great option if you don’t have a lot of time.

Under construction from the fire but the front is still beautiful to see.

This was a surprise and something we spontaneously came about. It was so cool to see and learn the history of Christian Dior and see all the beautiful handmade dresses. Skip the line and purchase tickets online.

These macarons were to die for! Purchase them individually. I loved the caramel, raspberry and pistachio ones!!

Best spot to view Eiffel Tower at night!
