Disclaimer: I would highly recommend that you grab a breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack before settling down to read this post. It’s going to be quite the long one, and I promise that I’ll follow up with one of my regular Top 10 Guides at a later date. I couldn’t help but write this much for such a phenomenal trip and for finally crossing Paris off of my bucket list!
For as long as I can remember, it has always been a dream of mine to travel to Paris and to live out all of my most romantic Parisian dreams. This past May, I finally had the chance to cross it off of my bucket list by exploring the city with Peter and our closest Toronto friends—Mel and Dave. When I look back and think about it, it truly felt like a dream. Although we were only there for a short 5 days (I’m already excited at the fact that I’ll be back next month), we did enough to comprise of a month’s worth of memories. Paris is one of those places that you fantasize about—at least for me it was. While other girls may be putting together wedding boards on their Pinterest pages, I put together beautiful places to visit in Paris. I’m not even joking. My life goals and dreams consist of adventures around the world as opposed wedding venues (though it is quickly changing!) or home decor. So you can only imagine the excitement that mounted as the trip of a lifetime drew nearer and nearer! Let’s rewind from the beginning so that I can give you a sense of just how excited I was for the trip.
Way back in October of last year, I stumbled onto a flight deal on YYZDeals for a round-trip flight from Toronto to Paris. Having always dreamed of Paris since I was a young, I instantly jumped on the deal and booked it with Peter. Immediately after that, I told Mel about it and she too snagged the opportunity. When it comes to booking discounted flights, there’s a very tight window of time to take advantage of them before they disappear. And by tight I mean literally a 24 hour window—sometimes even less. Mel ended up booking the same flights as me (well, sort of, but we’ll get to that later), all within the span of 1 hour. Looking back at it now, it all seems so crazy, but completely worth it. Fast forward to 1 week before our departure, we were sitting in Mel’s kitchen putting together our itinerary, trying to figure out how we would cram everything that we wanted to do into 5 short days.
Because I am both a workaholic and an avid photographer, I can’t help but want to shoot everything that I see whenever I’m traveling. However, I’ve instituted a sort of routine to help manage that aspect of my personality so that I (and the ones that I’m with) can also enjoy my trips as well. Sometimes it’s nice to put down the camera and make some mental memories as opposed to photographic ones. We worked throughout the night to put together an itinerary that would have us waking up at 5 AM to capture the perfect sunrise shots, shooting till about noon before we would wrap things up, and then head out to the city to explore. Although I’d love to say that our trip went exactly according to plan, that would be a fantasy. Because in reality, what trip actually ever goes smoothly? Am I right? Or am I right?
Day 0
After a fairly smooth flight in, we landed in Paris in the late afternoon and made a bee-line to our AirBnB to drop off our luggage before setting out for lunch. We set our sites on the Panthéon as the first stop so that we would be able to make it on time to visit the Catacombs of Paris before it closed. Little did we know that it would be closed due to a strike. During the walk to the Panthéon, I attempted to pre-purchase tickets for the catacombs online since I had read that tourists have been stuck in lineups and discovered that it had been closed due to an ongoing strike. As strange as it may sound, out of all of the typical tourist activities to do while in Paris, exploring the catacombs was actually one of my top priorities. Being a bit of a history buff, I’ve dreamed of walking through them ever since I first read about them when I was in middle school. And although I didn’t get to cross the catacombs off of my travel checklist, it still was an amazing trip—I’ll just have to make another trip back once they’re opened back up again to the public!
En route to the neighborhood, we accidentally stumbled upon on of the most beautiful restaurants that I’ve ever seen. It was absolutely covered in flowers and completely rivaled the ceiling installation at Aubaine in Selfridges (you have to experience it firsthand to understand). Obviously being camera-trigger-happy, Mel and I couldn’t help but snap a few photos before continuing on our quest. We happened to find the café right in the midst of sunset and grabbed some beautiful golden photos with the most stunning lens flares.
Once we had shot all of the photos that we needed, we made our way straight over to visit the one and only, Camilla! Surprise! With her dad living in Paris, and herself living in London, it was a quick trip on the train to make it over to the French city to spend some time with us for a few days. I haven’t seen her since her last visit to Toronto, so it was nice to be reunited with her and to also finally meet her dad. They graciously treated us to a delicious sushi dinner while we kicked back, relaxed our feet, and enjoyed a view of the sparkling Eiffel Tower from her living room balcony. That’s definitely one view that I will never ever get tired of seeing!
Since it was our first night in the city, we decided to walk back home to our AirBnB from Camilla’s place (it wasn’t longer than a 30 minute walk according to Google Maps) to not only explore the neighborhood, but to also walk off all of the delicious food that we had consumed throughout the day. If my memory serves me correctly, we made it about halfway before we gave up and requested an Uber to come pick us up and drive us back the rest of the way. I can’t say that we didn’t try! By that point all of the flying and jet lag had begin to settle in, so we all instantly passed out the minute we walked through the door. I promise you that although it was the shortest sleep ever, it was also one of the best sleeps that I had on the trip.
Day 1
Our next morning, and first full day in Paris, commenced with a 7 AM wake up call to get ready and to head out to the Montmartre area to explore, and once again (surprise, surprise!), shoot some photos. I have an affinity to shooting at sunrise since the majority of the city is never up yet, making it really easy and efficient to snag photos without wandering pedestrians in the background. I like to adhere to the motto of making my life easier, so why shoot when there are crowds everywhere if you don’t have to?
Due to our jet lag, we arrived in Montmartre a little later than we had intended, putting us in a rushed pace to complete the shoot before having to leave for a client meeting. You heard me right, we had several client meetings set up during our time in Paris. No travel trip is complete without some work!
PS. If you’re thinking of shooting outside of La Maison Rose, make sure to go nice and early! Tourists love to come by in droves to take pictures in front of the pink establishment (almost most likely the reason why you’re there as well). You won’t necessarily need to go inside for a meal since there isn’t anything special about the interior. However if you really are hungry and want to stay within the area, I’ve been recommended by many friends to visit Pink Mamma, as it is absolutely stunning and the menu is divine!
We made our way over to the beautiful Galeries Lafayette to meet with the YSL Beauty team from Paris to become acquainted with some of their most recent launches and how to use them. Both Mel and I had a wonderful time with the team there and received the loveliest makeovers before heading to the rooftop terrace for some photos of the skyline. If you’ve never been to the rooftop of either Galeries Lafayette or Printemps, you’re missing out!
After a lovely afternoon lunch on the top floor of Printemps, we decided that it was time for a shopping spree. No trip to Paris is complete without a good exploration of what the city has to offer in terms of retail. So many of my favourite brands had their origins based out of Paris (YSL!) and I knew that I couldn’t leave the city without visiting their flagships. At the top of my list was most definitely the first ever Chanel store in the world at 31 Rue Cambon. A funny backstory was that we walked into the very first Chanel boutique that we came upon without knowing that it was the Rue Cambon location, I ended up proceeding to purchase my one souvenir of the trip, a Gabrielle Backpack. It wasn’t until we asked a SA at another location for the directions to the Rue Cambon location that it clicked into us that we had wandered into there first.
The original store itself is actually a lot smaller than I expected. As a flagship, I had envisioned it to be much larger and grander, however I can understand that it being so old, there isn’t much space around the neighbourhood for it to build into. I do have to say that the SAs in Paris were significantly politer than the ones that I’ve encountered in Toronto. They chatted with us throughout the process of trying on 20 different bags (I’m not even joking), and weren’t even turned off when we were unsure as to whether or not we wanted to purchase any of them. It’s safe to say that I did walk away with a bag, and I have no qualms about it at all. I’d been saving up for it for months and it truly felt like an accomplishment to have located my dream bag while in Paris. I promise you that I didn’t buy anything else besides food for the remainder of our time there!
Shopping completed, we headed over to the famed Tuileries Garden. I’d be lying if I said that we went there to just take in the beautiful landscaping, because we absolutely went to take photos. We did get the chance to spend some time wandering among the perfectly manicured trees before settling into so lawn chairs by the pond to observe as workers dismantled the large ferris wheel. Mel and I danced our way through the trees in the most beautiful Ever New dresses that were literally made for the garden (I need to find somewhere in Toronto to host a garden party just so that I have another reason to wear this dress again!), before we made our way over to Palais-Royal to take in the interesting poker chip art installation before the sun set.
If you ever go to Paris, you absolutely must visit the Palais-Royal courtyard along with the adjacent gardens. Encase behind a wall of pillars, this area of the city feels like a sanctuary away from the busy streets. It’s strange how deafening the quietness is in the garden, but the peace is much appreciated after an entire day of running around the city. Once again we spent quite a bit of time there shooting some wonderful photos and exhausting the sun before it set too far behind the buildings for us to continue shooting. We split paths and went back to our AirBnB and Camilla went back to her father’s home while we dropped off our shopping bags and changed for an evening in.
With plans made to sleep over at Camilla’s place for the night so that we would be able to wake up at 5 AM the next morning in order to trek out to the Trocadéro for the perfect sunrise shots, we each packed up our carry-on luggages with all of our toiletries and the requisite outfits for the next day’s worth of shooting. Catching an Uber back to Camilla’s place, we ordered McDonald’s through UberEats so that we could rest our feet for the night. Walking around for hours at a time can truly exasperate your feet and I was already feeling the early development of plantar fasciitis. By the end of the trip, I would have the full blown condition.
Every time Peter and I travel anywhere, we always make a point to check out the local McDonald’s to see what is a specialty to their region. Paris absolutely did not disappoint. Many people may find it strange that in a city with so much history and rich culinary scene that we would gravitate towards McDonald’s, but I promise you that you’ve got to do it at least once. You won’t regret it! My absolute favourite thing off of their menu has to be their chicken strips. Hands down, their chicken strips would beat out the ones that Wendy’s has any day. I would even replace all McNuggets with the chicken strips, that’s how good they were.
After consuming our McDonald’s like the hungry hippos that we were, we settled in for the night and went so sleep early in anticipation for the early morning that awaited…
Day 2
Waking up at 4 AM with jet lag is not an easy feat. It truly takes a lot of dedication and perseverance to haul yourself out of bed before the crack of dawn to be able to capture the brief lights of sunrise as it peaks through above the horizon. I set my alarm clock to 3:45 AM and allowed myself to sleep in till about 4:15 AM before quietly getting out of bed so as to not disturb Peter. On a regular day, we typically wake up at the same time because it takes us both about the same amount of time to get ready. But on shoot days, I need double the time, so I set my alarms to wake up about 30 minutes before he does so as to allow him some time to sleep in. By 4:45 AM, I made sure that he was awake and getting ready for the day as well.
We left for the Trocadéro by around 5:15 AM just as the first beams of sunlight touched the city. It was still fairly dark when we left, and combined with the silence of the streets, it was quite an eerie walk. Luckily we made it there right on time as the sun broke out over the horizon and the entire platform was empty, save for a few rogue photographers who had already set up their tripods for photos of their own.
The Trocadéro is a completely different scene at 5:30 AM in the morning compared to what you may see in photos. Littered with beer bottles and garbage, the place appears as if someone threw a rage over night and failed to clean up after themselves. We made our way through the garbage and cleared off some space along the balcony and ledges for our photos. By about 6 AM, a crowd had already began to form, and it seemed like many photographers had the same idea as us to show up early in the AM. Seeing as the Trocadéro is a popular engagement and wedding shoot location, there were quite a few couples in full out wedding attire getting their photo shoots done there. I’m always quite cautious of getting in the way of others’ photo shoots, especially if it’s to commemorate a special moment in their life, so by the time it hit 6:30 AM, we wrapped up and were ready to leave.
We made our way as a group over to Carette Paris (about a 5 minute walk from the Trocadéro) to grab a cup of coffee and breakfast. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to any tourist. Most likely famed because it’s so close to the Trocadéro, we received the absolute worst service that I’ve ever encountered. Not only did they fail to acknowledge us as we entered the cafe, but they also failed to notify us of a malfunction in the kitchen, which rendered them unable to make the egg dishes that we had ordered for our meals. We sat there for about 45 minutes wondering when our food would come out before we had to ask them ourselves what the hold up was. Although the service that we experienced was sub-par, I do have to admit that the coffee was delicious. My preferred coffee order of choice is typically a latte purely based on the fact that I love how milky it tastes, but cappuccinos served me fine in Paris. I don’t know if it’s because of the way that their beans are roasted, or if French coffee truly does taste better, but I was perfectly content with cappuccinos throughout the entire trip and never once found them too strong for my palette.
After a failed attempt at breakfast, we went on a hunt for the famed Parisian baguettes to bring back to Camilla’s place to eat. If you’re ever hungry and need something cheap to eat, I would highly advise that you pick up a baguette. At only 1€ each, not only are they constantly made fresh-to-purchase, but they taste delicious as well. I could have easily eaten almost 1 baguette a day with the amount that I consumed throughout our time in Paris. We located a bakery, La Pâtisserie Cyril Lignac, that was about a 2 minute walk away from her place and also popped into a flower shop on the way back home to pick up a bouquet to use as a prop in our photos—biggest mistake of my life (the flowers, not the baguettes). Not only did the bouquet last me for a mere 24 hours, but it was ridiculously expensive as well. My lesson learnt is to never purchase flowers from an upscale boutique in Paris. We found so many flower distributors throughout the city that sold their florals at a fraction of the cost, and I really should have gone anywhere else instead. We were however in a jam and needed the flowers for some partnership photoshoots that afternoon and didn’t have the flexibility of locating a budget friendly floral shop nearby.
Coming back 3 hours later, I only had to touch up slightly around my laugh lines. It took me almost no time to get ready since the foundation had held up so well. While other ones typically begin separating on my skin at about 3 hours in, I’ve never had that issue with Double Wear. It’s one of my go-to travel foundations since it lasts from day-to-night without much separation, and literally feels like second skin on your face throughout the entire day. Double or nothing in Paris am I right?!
Once ready, we headed back out to shoot some photos by the adorable carousel near the Eiffel Tower, and then around the Eiffel Tower itself. Unluckily for us, as we got close enough to the Eiffel Tower to scout out locations, it began to rain and some of us scattered to find lunch, while others trekked on to continue taking photos. I wound up with Peter and Mel in a cute little neighbourhood while searching for Cler Fleurs (one of the cheap flower shops I had previously mentioned) only to be completely rained out while hanging out by a cafe. The torrential downpour had us confined inside the cafe for an extended period of time, which we ended up taking advantage of to shoot some content for Shu Uemura.
Throughout the entire trip, Mel and I had been testing out all of the various shades within the Shu Uemura x Yazbukey collection. If you’re not already familiar with Yazbukey, she’s actually a Parisian jewelry designer who collaborated with Shu Uemura to release a limited edition set of lippies in the most wonderful little acrylic boxes. How serendipitous is it that we happened to be in Paris at the same time of the product launch? We just knew that it would be the perfect compliment to the story of our dream in Paris, and along with our pre-existing affinity to the brand, we already knew ahead of time that we would fall in love with the product. And fall in love we did! The Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte lippies are so moisturizing, yet matte that they make for the perfect hybrid between a lipstick and a lip balm. They apply fairly opaque, so all I would have to do would be to bring 1-2 along with me in my purse and forfeit all other lip products. Forget the lip glosses, the lipsticks, the lip stains, and even the lip balms! The Shu Uemura x Yazbukey collection was solidly the lip product that was used everyday while in Paris. But I digress.
After the rain had let up a bit, we Ubered back to Camilla’s place where we met back up with the rest of the group and took a nap in hopes of killing some time while the rain continued. By 7 PM, it had slowed down to a very light drizzle, and by 7:30 PM, it remained a faint mist. Not wanting to miss the sunset and all of the other fun sight seeing activities that we had planned for the day, we decided to make the best of our time that evening and to head back out.
We made our way along the Petit Palais before ending up at Pont Alexandre III to take in the sunset. If you’re ever looking for a beautiful place to enjoy the sunset, I would highly recommend this bridge. Not only is the view stunning with the sun setting over the river, but there is so much space there that you’ll never feel like you’re being surrounded by tourists. At this point, we were done with sightseeing for the day and all made our way back home to drop off our camera gear before filling our stomachs with dinner. Luckily for us we didn’t have to go far. Camilla treated us to a lovely home cooked meal of pasta along with some mozzarella on the side. Give me cheese and I’ll never say no! With our tummies full, we went straight to bed so that we could get out of Camilla’s hair nice and early before her train back to London.
Day 3
Fast forward to the morning of Day 3, we quietly woke up and packed up our bags from Camilla’s place before slipping out without waking her up. Ubering back home to drop off our bags, we napped for a few hours before waking up and heading out to visit our Atelier Cologne friends. We were recently introduced to the Parisian brand at a grand opening event of their first ever Canadian location in Yorkdale and we all instantly fell in love with the scents. Being in Paris, we wanted to visit their offices to learn more about the history behind the beloved brand and to experience some of their specialty fragrances first hand in person. We had such a lovely time meeting the Paris team and discovering new scents that we had yet to experience. I can confidently say that I left wanting the entire collection!
After the meeting, we made a beeline straight to Café Marly for a quick coffee and lunch before exploring the courtyards around the Louvre. If you just want to check out the pyramids of the Louvre from afar, Café Marly is a great place to kick back and relax. With the perfect view of the courtyard, you can recluse yourself from the tourists but still take in the magic that is the Louvre. Caffeinated and happy, we made our way across the Pont des Arts in search for the love locks. Low and behold, I had read a few years back that the locks had all been removed from the bridge since the were weighing them down, but had somehow completely forgotten about it. At first we were a little disappointed but decided that that was no way to spend the day. Negative vibes be banished! We crossed the bridge and forged our way forward to the Jardin du Luxembourg.
If you haven’t noticed by now, our third day was spent at a much slower pace than our first 2.5. The first few days were such a whirlwind of excitement that we crammed so many things into each day without even realizing it. Doing that much everyday actually left us quite tired and not actually enjoying our time, so we decided it would be better if for the remaining days in Paris that we slow it down a bit. We arrived at the Jardin du Luxembourg close to sunset and spent a little bit of time there enjoying the end to a relaxing day. By this point we had grown to become a little hungry and all agreed that it was about time that we went out for dinner in the city to explore a little bit.
Doing some research online, we were in search of a popular place for locals that wasn’t a giant tourist trap. At this point it was also already almost 10 PM and most restaurants in Paris appeared to already be closed, or in the process of shutting down for the night. It was a project looking for somewhere that checked off all of our items on the checklist. We finally found one called Au Dernier Métro. With an average rating of 4.2 stars, we knew that dinner would be worth it. The reviews online promised a seedy ambience but a place that was beloved by the locals. The reviews did not lie. We had so much fun there and loved everything that we ordered so much that to this day I still dream about that dinner. If you wind up going yourself, I would very much recommend one of the duck dishes. It’s made so phenomenally that everything just melted in my mouth like butter. Yep, I too am salivating as I write this.
Our night finished off with a walk along the Seine all the way back to our AirBnB before we retired for the night. Another early morning awaited us and we all wanted to ensure that we would get enough sleep for the last and final full date ahead of us.
Day 4
Once again, we took an Uber but had the metro system hadn’t been on strike, we most likely would have taken public transit instead. Granted taking public transit at 7:30 AM would not be a fun activity so I’m quite pleased that we all Ubered there together.
Anyone who has plans to visit the Palace of Versailles should definitely plan to arrive right as the gates open first thing in the morning. Within 30 minutes of us arriving, the entire parking lot had filled with tour buses with hoards of tourist milling around, making it really difficult to get anywhere without jostling into someone. If you’re also someone who enjoys taking photos, then arriving as early as possible will render you with the best photo opportunities. Once the tourists arrive, most of them won’t even think twice about carelessly photobombing your picture just so that they can grab a selfie.
We spent about 1.5 hours viewing the various rooms of the interior before making our way out to the gardens. Although I loved seeing the intricate details of the decor, the gardens were really what got to me.
I currently have an obsession with plants, so the perfectly manicured topiaries really piqued my interest. We explored the different pathways carved into the gardens, and took in the stunning landscaping. After spending another hour in the gardens, we all agreed that we were ready to head back home for a little nap.
Waking up about 3 hours later, food was once again what our bodies craved. Having not done much else all day besides visiting Palace of Versailles, we got ourselves up and out of bed and made the effort to walk along the Seine a little bit before settling down for dinner. We spent the remainder of the evening checking out the Notre-Dame Basilica, exploring the nearby St. Germain area, and enjoying the setting sun once again over the Seine before settling into La Luge for a delicious french dinner. We feasted on escargot, raclette, more duck, and some genuine authentic French cuisine. Although it was a long day that included a lot of walking (Palace of Versailles has quite a bit of real estate!), our final day together in Paris was definitely one of my favourites. Not only did we get the chance to scale back the photography to leisurely wander the city, but we also got to indulge in some of the most delicious food that I’ve had to date. If there’s one thing that I’ll remember most about Paris, it’ll definitely be all of the appetite satisfying eats.
Our last night capped off with one final walk back home along the Seine while admiring the twinkling Eiffel Tower. That’s one view that I’ll never get tired of seeing. After returning back to our AirBnB, Peter and I packed up our luggage in prep for another early morning among us to fly back home to Toronto.
Day 5
If you’ve already read Mel’s blog post about her experience in Paris, then you may be aware that she and Dave stayed 1 extra day longer than Peter and myself! Funny enough, when we had all booked the flights way back in October, we had somehow mistakenly booked the return flights back on completely different dates. None of us can quite figure out how this flew over our heads during the course of planning the trip, but we literally had no idea until on the second last day of the trip. As sad as it may have been to leave Paris behind and to not have that one extra day to explore, I knew that leaving was not a goodbye, but that I would someday make my way back. And low and behold, Mel and I are returning next month!
As we quietly packed up our belongings and bid adieu to the beautiful French city, I couldn’t help but pick up a few extra choquettes and croissants at the local bakery on our way to the airport. You can take a girl out of Paris, but you can never truly take the Paris away from the girl!
Back in Toronto
Landing back in Toronto, the first thing that Peter and I both did was sleep for an entire day. Although I love traveling to Europe because returns back home mean that I get a couple hours back to my day, the jet leg and time difference really gets to you. Plus Mel and Dave were still in Paris, so we had some time to kill while waiting for them to return. Mel and I had both booked a fun girls’ day-date upon our return back to Toronto to ease ourselves back into our everyday work routine. Carrying around all of that equipment (camera, laptop, batteries, chargers, etc.) can take quite a toll on your body, and we both wanted to take some time to treat ourselves. If you ever end up joining us on a trip then you’ll understand that our vacations are never quite relaxing, as we’re always “working”.
Upon her return back to Toronto, Mel and I made our way to the Miraj Hammam Spa by Caudalie at the Shangri-La Toronto to check out their newly renovated lounges and to indulge in the Divine Body Treatment. If the name of the treatment doesn’t already set you at ease, then I don’t know what will! We’ve both already been to the spa before and our experiences are always top knotch. Not only does their signature scent instantly relaxes you as soon as you set foot out of the elevator, but the calming music in the lobby space really soothes you as well by setting the perfect ambiance.
If you haven’t been to the spa in awhile, you’ll notice that the lobby is one of the 4 major renovations that took place. With some updated decor pieces that better reflect the young atmosphere of the city, you still feel like you’ve been transported into a Moroccan oasis without it seeming dated. Flipping over to the mani/pedi stations, they have now been upgraded to better allow groups of friends to have the experience either together, or individually. The spa has taken the feedback from their customers that they would much prefer to be able to chat with their friends while getting nail services and transformed the space into a more open-concept design that facilitates a group setting.
The female change rooms also recently underwent a major renovation that now include a private lounge which is perfect for parties or special celebrations. I love that the new private lounge also includes a beautiful view of the city along with the comfiest couches so that you can sit back and truly relax before or after your treatments. But I wanted to save the best for last, the brand newly-renovated main lounge that now has so much more space! I loved the individualized booths that they had before but the new lounge now really opens it up so much more allowing for bigger parties to enjoy the spa together. But don’t worry, they didn’t change too much. The same delicious Moroccan mint tea is still served along with the lovely frozen grapes.
A relaxing massage was just what the doctor ordered after coming back from such a quick and hectic trip with long flights and I’m so glad that both Mel and I had the opportunity to wind down back into our normal everyday lives in Toronto with the help of the Miraj Hammam Spa.
I hope you enjoyed my diary entry format of my time in Paris, it’s definitely ranked quite high up there on my list of favourite places (besides Portugal). Though this may have been a long read, it’s one that I enjoyed writing and will be looking back one day to remind myself one the wonderful memories that we created.

Hey Lisa,
You absolutely do! It’s such a beautiful city and definitely lives up to all of the hype. We’re going back again next month purely because we loved it so much and couldn’t wait to continue exploring. I’ll be sharing another post upon return of our next trip as well to highlight everything new that we will be doing!
