Where to stay
Unlock perks by contacting Ann to book your trip.
Day 1: Arrive in Paris
You'll likely land in CDG in the morning. Check into your hotel and then grab a late lunch. Depending on where you stay, you can stroll around the neighborhood for some shopping. I love L'Avant Comptoir du Marche for a quick lunch and browsing the shops around Hotel Lutetia.
For pre-dinner cocktails, head to the new Cravan at 165 Boulevard Saint-Germain. Dinner at the classic, Allard.
Day 2: Museum and Michelin
Grab a coffee and croissant at the iconic Café de Flor.
Walk to Musee Rodin or Musee d'Orsay before lunch at Alain Passard's Arpège. Arpege was the first Michelin 3-star restaurant to make vegetables the
focus of the menu, which can be sampled at lunch time for one of the better
deals in fine French dining. As an alternative, you can also go to Petit Palais next to Yanick Alleno's, Pavyllon.
Dinner can be a light affair at Clamato.
Day 3: Shopping
Grab brunch at Loulou or L'Avenue before hitting Avenue Montaigne or Rue Saint Honore.
When you get tired, walk over to Place Vendome for drinks at the Hemingway Bar before dinner at Frenchie or Bistrot Paul Bert.
Day 4: More shopping
Time to hit one or a couple of the department stores - Le Bon Marche, Samaritaine or Galeries Lafayette.
Bourse de Commerce is a smaller museum to squeeze in between shopping and dinner.
Pre-dinner cocktails at Copperbay which is a 7 minute walk to one of the most authentic bistros and hardest tables to book in Paris, L'Ami Louis.
