24 Hours in Paris
A journey through the first 24 hours of my trip in Paris
24 Hours in Paris
In this post I wanted to describe and share what I did the first 24 hours of my trip to Paris. This was in inspiration of how busy my first day was in Madrid and I decided to continue and do the same for the rest of the cities in Europe that I had the opportunity to travel and spent time on.
Arriving in Paris
At 10:00 PM I arrived in Paris, checked into my hostel and went to sleep XD.
Breakfast time
I woke up around ~7:00 AM to start my day. Got ready, showered and at around 8:00 AM I went to a coffee shop called Cuppa Cafe close to Musee d'Orsay where I had a croissant and a cappuccino.
Musee d'Orsay
From around 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM I just explored the Musée d'Orsay and took a lot of photos for inspo.
Lunch time
at around 1:00 PM I picked up a sandwich from a baguette shop called "MAXINI" and ate it for lunch by the Seine River
Walking tour
From 1:00 PM onwards I just Walked around Paris, taking photos and visiting the Jardin du Luxembourg, and the Panthéon. I spent a long time in the park just resting and chilling
matcha break
At 3PM I had a matcha refresher pit stop at a coffee shop called Café Dalbodrée for a matcha coconut water refresher.
My favorite cafe shop of the trip and maybe even the world
Around 3:00 PM until 5:00 PM I spent two hours relaxing at my favorite coffee shop of the trip, The Caféothèque of Paris, here I was listening to live piano music, and what is lovely about this place is that you can try coffee beans from all over the world and they will prepared it for you. It was really great place, the coffee was delish.
Pit stops before the main pit stop
After around ~5:00 PM on the way back to the hostel, I visited the Parc de Belleville and the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, beautiful parks in Paris with a view of the city but be prepared to hike your way up to the top of the hills.
Shower pit stop
Returned to the hostel to shower and rest before the rest of the day.
Friends french dinner
At around 8:00 PM until 10:00 PM I met with my french friends Marie-Marie for a traditional dinner at Bouillon République, where we tried in order of my preference: 1. Steak Frites, 2. Snails, 3. Foie Gras, 4. Goyere, 5. Eggs with Mayo and lastly the Paris Brest dessert.
Beyond 24 hours: Visited a Jazz Club called Caveau de la Huchette
From around 10:00 PM until 1:00 AM I went to a Jazz Club called Caveau de la Huchette, concluding your 24 hours. This place has really great music, but it is also really hot place to be in"' },
Sleep time
After 1:00 AM I returned to the hostel to rest and sleep.
All Places Visited
Here's a map showing all the places I visited during my first 24 hours in Paris. From the Musée d'Orsay to the Jazz Club Caveau de la Huchette, from the amazing Caféothèque to the beautiful parks - Paris was really memorable but this is just the beginning of my journey in Paris it just got better my other 3 days in the city!
