1. Pick your dates of travel Of course the best weather is in the summer, but spring time and fall can be great too. I will say that Europeans typically vacation most of August, so I would avoid August if at all possible. Some mom & pop business close up for the entire month.

2. Book your flight Depending on where you are coming from will depend on the airline carrier that you use and airport to fly in to. There are 2 international airports in Paris and if at all possible book your flight to Charles De Gaulle Airport because it is closer to the city of Paris than Paris Orly.

3. Book your Hotel We decided on a budget that we could live with and I then randomly picked our adorable boutique hotel through Hotels.com. Below you can see all the photos of Hotel Moliere. I knew the location where I wanted to be and price range, then searched on the Hotels.com site for their customer reviews.

4. Book a car service This isn’t always necessary, but we were in Paris 3 weeks after the Paris bombings last year, we wanted to stay out of the Metro ( train/subway ), so getting around privately was a great layer of safety.

5. Make reservations at the top tier restaurants If you are wanting to eat at one of the more famous and better known restaurants like Le Jules Verne located under the Eiffel Tower, then please book at least 2 or 3 months out. We did not do that, so therefore we couldn’t get in.

6. Pack only what is necessary When on a whirlwind 3 day adventure, you do not have time to worry about looking magazine perfect. The most important thing is to check out the 2 week forecast and pack accordingly with comfort as the most important component. It will help you with your packing. Paris can be very cool at times and when we were there, it had been raining for days.

7. Prioritize your site seeing After determining your most important places to visit, then put them in order according to the layout of the city. Your hotel should have a good map for you. Even though Paris is a really big city, it really isn’t hard to get around.
