Relaxing parks

What do we love about Paris? That there are so many places to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Paris has over 50 parks! Our favorites: the smaller Place des Vosges in the heart of Le Marais, and of course, we can't miss the Jardin du Luxembourg . The Parc necklace from the new City collection is inspired by the iconic chairs in this park, where you can relax and unwind surrounded by greenery.

Cozy square

Just a fifteen-minute walk from the Jardin du Luxembourg, you'll find Place de la Contraescarpe . A truly classic square in the Latin Quarter, it features a fountain in the center and a variety of cafés and restaurants surrounding it. It's the perfect spot for a pleasant lunch or dinner on a terrace and some people-watching.

Charming streets

Paris boasts many charming streets, but there are two we consider a must-see. The first is Rue des Martyrs . This street is highly recommended by many foodies for its wide variety of delicatessens. And just follow your way up towards the Sacré Coeur to find Rue de L'Aubrevoir . According to Google, it's the most beautiful street in Paris. That's subjective, of course, but we certainly wouldn't miss it.

Traditional food

Want to enjoy traditional, affordable French food in a beautiful restaurant? Then we recommend Bouillon Chartier . Bouillons were traditionally restaurants where workers could eat well and affordably. Bouillon Chartier has been around since 1896. Your order is written on the paper tablecloth, and you simply join a table with strangers (which can lead to some interesting conversations!). Note: reservations are not accepted, so you may have to wait in line to get in.

Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning, Paris always offers new discoveries and experiences. In our Beauty of Paris collection, you'll find beautiful souvenirs to remind you of the wonderful moments you've shared in the city of love.
