The best way to see Paris is to walk. Their Metro system is efficient but in the summer it is hot and smelly. Uber is super easy but the costs add up. Walking is always the best option (especially if you don't want to do the touristy double decker buses).
On our second and third day in Paris we met up with friends to explore some of the city's most famous monuments. First stop, the Notre Dame. It was just steps from our apartment so we walked past it almost every day.
We tucked into La Palette for lunch. The Beef Tartare was the best I have ever had. Of course I couldn't resist a little dessert after, macaroons are on every corner, you are killing my waistline Paris!
The architecture, particularly the doors, in Paris are stunning. Even in the sketchiest areas of the city the doors were still breathtaking.
The next morning, after a cappuccino and croissant, we visited the Arc de Triomphe. At the end of the Champs-Elysees, the Arc de Triomphe is an incredible vantage point to take in Paris.
With the Eiffel Tower so close, we couldn't resist putting together a picnic and getting a better look of the masterpiece from the Champs de Mar.

Dinner. This dinner was one of my favorite meals in Paris, thanks to Le Chateaubriand. According to The Worlds 50 Best, it is currently ranked the 21st Best Restaurant in the World. For a reasonable price tag you can have a true culinary experience. Your only choice is a daily changing tasting menu consisting of about 7 courses. The food not only tastes good but it looks beautiful too. Bon appetit!
This little bit of deliciousness is their signature dish. It is basically a caramelized egg yolk over meringue and ground almond. I can't even think of words to describe how good it tasted.
