Spend day 7 in Europe with me in Paris—aka one of those days where you look up and realize you’ve walked over 23k steps. The girlies and I planned to meet at 8:30, but jet lag hit them hard, so I went rogue and grabbed breakfast first. I stopped by a bakery known for its award-winning all-butter croissants (best in the city since 2018), but they’d just sold out, and I didn’t have 30 minutes to wait. I pivoted to a pain au chocolat, grabbed coffee, and we basically started the day snacking while walking. From there, it was a very Paris walking circuit: Luxembourg Gardens for views and catching up, Shakespeare and Company for books, and a quick Notre Dame moment from the outside. Then we walked through the 6th and 7th and did the most dangerous thing possible—pharmacy + Sephora energy. We stumbled into City Pharma (it’s massive) and I stocked up on serums and sunscreen because the prices were actually so good. Later we did a light lunch (escargots, fries, tartare—my ideal not-too-heavy midday snack), then headed to Musée de l’Orangerie, my favorite museum in Paris. I’ve been three times and I always come back for Monet’s Water Lilies—it’s genuinely calming. We ended with dinner (more escargots, paella, beef stew, crème brûlée) and crashed at the hotel because we were exhausted.
