#europetrip #paris #magicalxmastrip Parc de Bercy feels like one of Paris’ best-kept secrets. Honestly, most of my Parisian friends either don’t talk about it or don’t even know it exists! I stumbled across it by chance after arriving on an early coach. It’s super close to Gare de Bercy Seine, just a short walk away, and ended up being the perfect spot to pass the time while waiting for the city to wake up. The fact that it’s open 24 hours makes it even better. The park itself is such a lovely escape. It’s divided into three themed gardens: Romantic Garden, Parterres, and Flowerbeds, each with its own charm. The herb garden, right by the coach station, made such a great first impression for me. The neatly arranged plants feel both rustic and thoughtfully designed. It’s such a cozy little corner, especially in the morning mist of spring. Walking through the park, I loved the tree-lined paths, flowery gardens, ponds with ducks, and even the small vineyard that nods to Paris’ wine-making history. There are plenty of places to sit and relax, whether you’re snacking, reading, or just soaking in the vibes. Parc de Bercy is such a refreshing find. If you’re looking for a free and relaxing spot to unwind, or just want to explore, it’s 100% worth checking out. For me, it was the perfect start to a Parisian adventure! --- Note: 🌻If you want to fully explore Parc de Bercy, I’d recommend setting aside 1.5–2 hours. This gives you enough time to wander through each garden, relax in the shaded seating areas, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. 🌻How to Get There and Around • By Metro: Take Line 6 or Line 14 to Bercy Station, and it’s just a few minutes’ walk from there. • By Coach: If you’re arriving at Gare de Bercy Seine, you can walk to the park in under five minutes. • Exploring Around: The park is conveniently located near Bercy Village, where you’ll find charming shops, cafes, and restaurants. It’s a great spot to grab a bite after your visit.

#2024mapped #paris #effieltower #france Autumn in Paris: A Magical Journey A trip to Paris in autumn is nothing short of enchanting. The city, often called the “City of Light,” transforms into a golden paradise as the leaves change color, painting every street, park, and avenue with warm hues of orange, red, and yellow. The crisp air carries the scent of fresh baguettes from local bakeries and the earthy aroma of fallen leaves, making every stroll through the city a sensory delight. Start your day with a walk along the Seine River, where the reflections of iconic landmarks like Notre-Dame and the Eiffel Tower shimmer against the backdrop of autumn foliage. The Champs-Élysées, framed by rows of amber-tinted trees, becomes even more charming, inviting you to sip hot chocolate at a cozy café while people-watching. No autumn trip to Paris is complete without a visit to the Luxembourg Gardens. The sight of the meticulously arranged gardens adorned with seasonal flowers and the sound of crunching leaves underfoot make it a serene escape from the city’s hustle. Nearby, the Montmartre district offers a different charm, with its cobblestone streets and artists sketching under golden canopies. Parisian cuisine shines in the cooler months. Relish a hearty onion soup or a slice of tarte Tatin at a quaint bistro, paired with a glass of Beaujolais wine. As the sun sets, the Eiffel Tower sparkles against the evening sky, providing a breathtaking finale to your day. Autumn in Paris offers a unique blend of romance and nostalgia. Whether you’re exploring the bustling streets or the quiet corners, every moment feels like stepping into a painting. It’s a season where the city’s timeless beauty shines brightest, leaving you with memories as vivid as the fall colors.

#europetrip If you are looking to have a classic French dinner, Josephine Chez Dumonet would be a good choice as it is an old world bistro from the Belle Epoque era. The traditional, classic French vibes could be seen from the white tablecloths and waiters with black ties. We ordered their very famous Beef Bourgignon. It was so rich, meaty with the wine sauce coated the tender chunks of melting braised beef. Noodles were as a side which went really well with the sauce. #travel #paris #foodie

#europetrip It’s a MUST to try macarons whenever in Paris! We tried Pierre Hermé and it was great! They offer such exquisite desserts. We had the pistachio and rose flavors.

It would also be worth it even just for the salvaged signage in the first few rooms! No regrets visiting Musée Carnavalet! #travel #paris #museum

🏡 Review of Paris accommodation We stayed at #BaanParis in District 8 . The accommodation is an Airbnb. It has a complete kitchen. Everything is convenient. The location is great. It is right on Rue de Rome. There are cafes and supermarkets around. It is close to the metro. Europe station is less than 5 minutes away. The house is very cozy. It looks like it came out of Pinterest. You can contact Phi Pai, the owner of the house @BaanParis. . But the accommodation is on the 4th floor. But if you count in Paris, it will be on the 3rd floor. There is no elevator. If you have big luggage, you will definitely get the feeling of Emily in Paris. 55556 Because the building is vintage, the wooden floor will make some squeaking sounds when walking. The door is a bit difficult to open. And we live like a house. Before checking out, we returned the key, washed the dishes, and threw away the trash in the room. It is very convenient. You can cook your own food. There are pots, pans, and condiments ready. Next time, if you come to Paris Will definitely stay here again 🥰 . #paitraveller #paitraveler #baanparis #airbnbparis #airbnb #paris #france #accommodationparis
