My Paris Bucket List

Since I was young Paris has always been a place I have wanted to visit. It could be the history or the beautiful sites and I have a hunch that it could be that I watched Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s movie Passport to Paris on repeat for about 3 weeks when I was 12. Since becoming an adult my tastes really haven’t evolved much. I love movies that take place in the city of lights, books whose setting takes place there, and I find joy in any music that has an accordion playing in it.

I am beyond excited that I get to visit Paris at the end of September and I thought it would be a great idea to share my list of things I want to do when visiting this magical city! 

• Take a photo in front of the Eiffel Tower and go to the top of it.
• Take a walk in the rain.
• Visit the Mona Lisa at The Louvre.
• Eat macaroons at Laudrée.
• Have a picnic and take a stroll through the Jardin du Luxembourg or Jardin des Tuileries or both!
• Go on a Seine River cruise and sip champagne.
• Go to Disneyland Paris
• Visit the Flea Markets.
• Attend a Jazz concert.
• Eat a traditionally French meal.
• Visit Versailles Palace.
• Take a tour of the Catacombs.

• See a Monet at Orangerie.
• See a cabaret show at Moulin Rouge.
• Have afternoon tea at a fancy Paris hotel.
• Sit at a café, translate a newspaper using a dictionary, and eat breakfast.
• People watch on the Canal St. Martin.
• Buy the best baguette in Paris.
• Walk the length of the Champs-Élysées.
• Visit the Arc de Triomphe.
• Visit Notre Dame.
• Ride a bike along the Seine.
• Sip wine at Café de Flore.
• Stroll around Montmartre.
• Buy fancy chocolates.
• Eat a crepe.
• Have a fancy dinner at a Michelin Star restaurant.
• Watch the sunrise in the park near the Eiffel Tower
• Buy an Eiffel Tower key ring.

It’s quite the list but I hope that I can cross a bunch of it off in September and visit again in the future to finish it off! Do you have a bucket list for a certain city? Would you add anything to my list for Paris?
