Paris
Paris is the kind of city that ruins you a little — in the best way. Buttery croissants at a corner café, the Eiffel Tower glittering on the hour, a wine bar tucked down a street you'd never have found alone. It's quieter, slower and more romantic than you imagined.
Most guides drop you at the Louvre and the Champs-Élysées and call it a trip. This one is the version Kate would write for a friend — the bakery the locals queue for at 7am, the bouquiniste with the best old postcards, and the bistro where you order the steak frites and don't speak for ten minutes.
1,200 boulangeries
Paris has the world's best bread, by law. We tell you the three bakeries actually worth the morning queue.
Sparkles every hour
The Eiffel Tower sparkles for 5 minutes on the hour after sunset. We tell you the spot the locals watch it from — not the Trocadéro crowd.
Lunch is sacred
Most Parisians still take 90 minutes for lunch. Our shortlist is the tiny bistros that make it worth your while.
130+ museums
Skip the 2-hour Louvre queue. We point you to the small museums Parisians actually love, with no line and better art.
