These are tips that I share with all my friends and family that tell me they are headed to Paris for the first time. Choose a destination within walking distance of the hotel and grab a good meal. Don’t walk too much the first day that you are too tired before a few days of site seeing. Make sure to get lots of water and fresh air. If you are flying from the US, on the first day you will be jet-lagged. During your first time in Paris, don’t feel pressure to do it all. Public transportation is just about everywhere and the famous landmarks are all accessible by a close metro line. You can walk the city from one end to the other in about an hour depending on how quickly you walk. If you want to hit the major Paris attractions you will want to start in central Paris and work your way toward different areas of Paris if you have time. There are a total of twenty arrondissements in the city spanning the left and right banks of Paris. To understand how they lay on a map, the 1st arrondissement is in the center of the city and follows the path of a snail moving outwards. Paris is broken up into different neighborhoods called arrondissements. This post is to help you have the best first trip to Paris. But we made memories and I wouldn’t change a thing. A helpful blog and google map that first time around which would have saved us hours looking for Angelina Hot Chocolate. I have learned a lot since my first trip to Paris by making mistakes and doing all the touristy things. Looking back, I wish there was a first-time guide to Paris to help me understand where to go and what not to do. We took a double-decker bus and I ate a banana and Nutella crêpes. I pushed through the weekend making my recovery time from bronchitis a lot longer but it was so worth it. During that trip, I had a fever and I was so sick but I was going to let go of my dream of seeing Paris. Just a day before the trip, I ended up coming down with terrible bronchitis. I was studying abroad in Italy and my friends and I decided to go to Paris for Valentine’s Day weekend. My first trip to Paris was just shy of my 21st birthday.
