Here’s exactly why 👇 🇫🇷 ✨If you only have a *short* amount of time to spend in Paris, my favorite city, here’s my list of exactly what to skip and what to do instead. Let me know which of these you agree and disagree with 😉 💜Follow @KatieOSheaAway for all the specific details you need to plan your dream trips! 🥖 🥐 Credentials: studied abroad in Paris and have been back three times including last summer! Here’s What to Skip in Paris and What to Do Instead: ❌The Louvre - There are crazy long lines and even once you’re inside it’s super crowded, making for a not very enjoyable experience. Unless it’s high on your bucket list I recommend…. ✅Musee de l’Orangerie - This museum is much smaller but still lovely and it’s the place where you can admire Monet’s water lilies and other impressionist paintings 🖼️🎨 ❌Angelina - while it’s popular on social media, if you want to go here you’ll be in the longest lines ever. Instead I recommend… ✅A local patisserie where you can enjoy desserts and treats just as delicious without the wait 🥐 ❌ Shopping on the Champs-Élysées - unless you have in mind picking up a designer item specifically, skip shopping here and instead… ✅Shop and stroll along the streets of Ile Saint-Louis for a way more local and authentic experience ❌Tuileries Garden - This garden is right by the louvre and as such it’s very touristy. For more of a chill garden day instead go to…. ✅Jardin du Luxembourg for more of a local feel and a delicious picnic 💐 ❌Eating at any restaurant near a tourist location - please don’t do this!! Instead eat at… ✅Local cafes where you will find MUCH better prices and better food 💜 Follow @KatieOSheaAway to turn your bucket list into reality! 🌎 paristravel Paristips paris visitparis visitfrance francetravel paristravel parissummer traveltips eurosummer Paris travel outfit | Paris vacation outfit LTKWatchNow LTKTravel LTKMidsize
