Le Fumoir (very cozy place just behind The Louvre. Perfect stop after a visit)
Breizh Café (crepes, galettes and cider)
Un zebre a Montmartre (nice bristo with good food and nice atmosphere)
Caractere de Cochon (typical French charcuterie. Great sandwiches and cold cut boards at a very reasonable price)

Best coffee stops in the city to start your day:

Our top 3 parks to wander and relax in:

Parc des Buttes Chaumont
Parc Montsouris (very calm. Not touristy at all)
Parc de Belleville (nice views of Paris)

Our favourite hidden gems:

Promenade Planté (Paris highline)
La Petite Ceinture (abandoned railway, full of flowers and some street art. Nice to have a quiet walk)
59 Rivoli (the building was abandoned for 15 years and some artists brought it back to life. Very interesting art/ cultural center)

Top 5 must-do activities in the city:

Get to the Rooftop of Galeries Lafayette and enjoy the views of Paris. Free entrance.
Rue Mouffetard (one of the oldest streets in Paris. Beautiful walking area full of places to grab a quick bite)
Père Lachaise Cemetery (it might sound bizarre but it is actually a beautiful place and many famous people are buried there)
Take the metro line 6 over the Seine and enjoy the views of the Eiffel tower (Bir- Hakeim to Passy station)
Go to Mon Coeur Café and Restaurant in Belleville and you will have great views of the city. Sunsets are unreal.

Top thing to avoid while visiting:

People coming at you asking to sign papers for different associations. It's a scam!
People trying to put a knot on your finger. It's a scam!
Do not spend all of your time around the Eiffel Tower Area. There is a lot to see in the city.
Be careful with pickpockets in busy areas.
Don't expect Paris to be like in the movies… It is better!
