I just got back a week ago from a surprise weekend in Paris! Hubby did an amazing job planning and keeping it a surprise. I was super excited to share one of my favorite cities in the world with him and Baby Veer! We did a combination of eating, sight seeing and shopping. We kept things light and go with the flow since we had already been back in 2019. You can check out that blog post HERE.
Getting there
We took a direct flight out of Philadelphia to Paris. We took a red eye which was perfect for the baby and it would get us into Paris around noon. Prior to boarding the flight we ate and had Baby Veer run around to tire him out, needless to say he was super excited on the flight so getting him to sleep was indeed challenging. But once he fell asleep he was out until we pretty much landed! Coming back to the States we had a daytime flight, however, we had a row of three so that helped. Make sure to bring plenty of snacks, toys and an ipad to keep the little one occupied!
Where to Stay
Paris is divided into a total of 20 arrondissements starting from the center and going outward. Last time we went to Paris we stayed in the 6th arrondissement which is Saint German at the cutest boutique hotel called Hotel Madison. This time we stayed in the 8th arrondissement which is Champs-Elysees at Sofitel Le Scribe. The hotel was actually perfect as it was walkable to most places, plenty of high end shopping and restaurants nearby. The hotel also had a beautiful lobby, a cafe, restaurant and bar. The room for Paris standards was large and was perfect for the three of us.
