What you’ll do

Ready for an epic day in Paris? You're going to hit some of my favorite spots, each with its own unique charm. This experience will be packed with iconic sights, lovely strolls, and a few hidden gems shown to you by a local host. Let's get started!

First up, head to Les Deux Magots, an iconic Parisian café that's been a favorite haunt for artists, writers, and philosophers for over a century. Picture yourself sitting where Hemingway and Sartre once did, sipping on a café crème while watching the world go by. It's like stepping into a slice of literary history. Grab a croissant (they're delightfully flaky here) and enjoy the quintessential Parisian breakfast - your host will show you exactly what this means. The ambiance is unbeatable – vintage décor, waiters in tuxedos, and a view of the bustling Saint-Germain des Prés. It's the perfect way to start your day.

As you leave Les Deux Magots, take a leisurely stroll through the charming streets of the 6th arrondissement as you head over to Jardin du Luxembourg, one of my all-time favorite spots in Paris. This expansive garden is a green oasis in the heart of the city. The beautifully manicured lawns, vibrant flowerbeds, and grand fountains make it a perfect place to relax and soak up the Parisian atmosphere. Find a comfy green chair by the pond, where you can watch kids sailing their miniature boats. The Medici Fountain is a must-see – it's incredibly picturesque and a great spot for photos. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even rent a little boat and join in the fun.

After soaking up the tranquility of the gardens, jump over to your next stop, L'Howea. This spot is a delightful little plant shop tucked away in the Marais district. It's like stepping into a miniature jungle – the air is filled with the earthy scent of greenery, and the shop is brimming with exotic plants. Whether you're a plant enthusiast or just love beautiful spaces, this place is a treat. I love browsing through the selection of succulents and air plants. If you have a green thumb, this is the perfect place to pick up a new addition to your collection. And even if you don't, it's just a lovely spot to enjoy some lush, green vibes.

Next, head to one of the most Instagrammable spots in Paris. Welcome to 225 Rue de l'Université, one of the best places to snap a perfect Eiffel Tower photo. This quiet street frames the tower beautifully, with the charming Parisian buildings providing the perfect backdrop. It's a bit of a hidden gem, so you won't have to jostle with too many tourists for that perfect shot. Take your time here, capturing the beauty of the Eiffel Tower from different angles. The light in the afternoon is charming, casting a warm glow over the scene. It's one of those moments that makes you fall in love with Paris all over again.

As you leave Rue de l'Université, make your way towards the Seine. Port Debilly is a serene spot along the Seine, offering stunning views of the Eiffel Tower and the river. It's a great place to relax and take in the sights and sounds of Paris. The views here are particularly magical at sunset when the sky turns shades of pink and orange, and the Eiffel Tower begins to sparkle. Find a spot to sit by the water and just enjoy the moment. The gentle lapping of the Seine and the twinkling lights of the Eiffel Tower create a romantic, almost cinematic atmosphere. It's pure Parisian magic.

Your final stop is a short walk away. Av. de Camoens offers one of the most stunning and lesser-known views of the Eiffel Tower. This quiet avenue ends in a small terrace that perfectly frames the tower. It's a fantastic spot to end your experience, with the Eiffel Tower standing tall and illuminated against the night sky. Take a moment to breathe in the beauty of Paris. The view from here is simply breathtaking, and it's a perfect place to reflect on the day's adventures. The elegant street and iconic tower combination is the epitome of Parisian charm.

So there you have it – a day in Paris filled with iconic sights, hidden gems, and unforgettable moments. I hope you enjoy every second of it. Bon voyage!

Pascal was an excellent guide! We got to see so much of Paris and learned so much from him. We didn’t care too much for the major attractions as we already saw them all. So he showed us all the hidden gems of Paris. Highly recommend :)

I had a wonderful 6 hours spent with my tour guide Pascal (City Unscripted). Upon meeting, I knew it was going to be an enjoyable day. We started our journey and I was immediately comfortable conversing and sharing our thoughts about the day ahead. He knew my interests before hand and planned the walking tour accordingly. Pascal knows Paris geographically, historically, and culturally. We strolled through areas tourists would not see and provided ongoing information about the locations we visited. We journeyed on foot through many districts (lost count). I estimate we walked about 15 miles. Pascal becomes your friend immediately. You do not feel like you're with a tour guide. If you want to exprience Paris with an expert and a gentleman, you should book Pascal.

The experience with Pascal was wonderful on our 6 hour walking tour. He is geographically, historically, and culturally astute regarding Paris. He is a fine gentleman and a great tour guide. We walked through many districts with Pascal providing insight every step of the way. I would have to say we parted as friends. I highly recommend Pascal to anybody that wants to experience Paris with an expert.
