The Interior Designer’s Guide to a Weekend in Paris

To start, you’ll need a beautiful place to stay after spending your days sipping champagne and nibbling croissants by the Seine. We stayed at Hotel Le Six and found it to the be the perfect spot to retreat to each evening. Modern decor with a classical mix coupled with the amazing service and location created the best way to start and end each day.

DAY ONE

Get your bearings in the city by starting the day with a coffee and croissant at a cafe — any cafe… you can’t go wrong in Paris! Sitting outside and enjoying the city is one of the best activities you’ll do, so spend some time soaking up all the French beauty around you!

Visit Da Roco for lunch before heading to Museé Rodin and Museé D’Orsay to enjoy fine art and amazing views.

After you’ve gotten your daily dose of art, make your way back to Hotel Le Six by wandering through Saint Germain and enjoying a stop at one of Paris’ many delicious cafes. One of the best new discoveries we made was popcorn and champagne with a little people watching — the perfect afternoon treat!

Finish a perfectly Parisian day with a sunset river cruise and dinner on the Seine! Pop some champagne and gaze at the Eiffel Tower from the boat — a much better way to see the monument than spending a whole day just to get to the top!

DAY THREE

You can’t go to an iconic European city without spending at least one afternoon enjoying some bubbly and sunshine in a park. Have lunch in Jardin du Luxembourg with a bottle of champagne — the perfect opportunity to people watch and relax!

A trip to Paris wouldn’t be complete without a little shopping! Head to Le Marais — a beautiful neighborhood with small, charming streets and tons of shops and great food.

Wrap up your dreamy weekend away with a picnic dinner by the Seine. Traveling can be full of moving from restaurant to restaurant, so skip a dinner out and go for a casual night with wine by the river. A truly Parisian way to spend the evening!
