Where we stayed:
Hôtel de France Invalides | 102, boulevard de la Tour Maubourg
Located in front of the Invalides’ Golden Dome, a few steps away from the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Elysées, Hotel de France was the perfect hotel for us, it was right in the heart of everything! The hotel staff were fantastic, with clean cozy and comfortable rooms perfect for relaxing in after a day of fun around the city.

Places to eat:
Sweet Treats:
- Angelina Paris / try their hot chocolate, it’s heaven!
- Ladurée / their macaroons are a rite-of-passage for any tourist.

- Le Relais de l’Entrecote | Marbeuf. (the best steak I have ever eaten!)
- Les Pinces | Le Marais. (a fun and modern take on a fancy seafood dish)

Things to do:
Bar the obvious tourist hotspots we all know so well, here are some other wasy to spend your time in Paris:

Window-shop in the french designer boutiques along Avenue Montaigne, and treat yourself if you’re feeling flash!
