Start your foodie adventure with a visit to the famous falafel shop, L'As du Fallafel. Located in the heart of the Marais district, this kosher restaurant serves up some of the best falafel sandwiches you'll ever have. Be prepared to wait in line but trust us, it's well worth it. Make sure to also try their delicious eggplant and hummus.
If you're looking for a cozy, traditional French bistro, look no further than Le Comptoir du Relais. Chef Yves Combeau's menu changes regularly depending on what's in season so expect fresh, flavorful dishes. We recommend the escargot and duck confit. Reservations are recommended as it's a popular spot with locals and tourists alike.
No foodie trip to Paris is complete without indulging in some artisanal ice cream on Île Saint-Louis at Berthillon. This legendary ice cream shop has been churning out their famous sorbets and ice creams since 1954. With over 60 flavors to choose from, there's something for everyone. We recommend trying the vanilla, pistachio, or caramel.
The best way to navigate Paris is by walking or taking public transportation. The city has an extensive metro system that's affordable and easy to use. For longer distances, you can take a taxi or Uber. Expect to spend around €1.90 per metro ride and €10-20 for a taxi ride.
If you have more time, consider taking a day trip to Versailles or the Champagne region. If you have less time, skip either Le Comptoir du Relais or Berthillon and go on a food tour to taste a variety of French dishes in a short amount of time.
Paris has two main airports: Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly (ORY). CDG is located 16 miles northeast of Paris while ORY is located 10 miles south of Paris. To get to the city center from either airport, you can take a taxi, Uber, or train. Expect to spend €50-70 for a taxi or Uber and €10-15 for a train ride.
