Mother/Daughter Trip to Paris

Last week, my mom and I took a trip to Paris for a week. It was so nice to spend an entire week with her since we live so far apart now. And we couldn't think of a better city to spend it in.

Here is our trip recap in pictures:

These last 2 are from our room: a view from the balcony and our last supper while packing up our suitcases.

And here are some of our trip details if you're interested:

Hotel
• Hotel Chateau Frontenac
The location of this hotel was amazing. We were next to several metro stops and less than 2 blocks from Champs Élysées. The rooms were a bit outdated, but overall a great stay.

Restaurant Highlights
• Les Ombres (27 Quai Branly 75007 Paris)
This is my 2nd trip to Paris and my 2nd time eating here. The service and food are great... but the ambiance and view are absolutely amazing!
• Le Violon d'Ingres (135 Rue Saint-Dominique 75007 Paris)
This restaurant is fantastic. It has one Michelin star, but doesn't feel stuffy at all. The service was perfect and the food was some of the best I have ever had.
• Café Saint-Régis (6 Rue Jean du Bellay 75004 Paris)
If you find yourself on the islands of the Seine, this cafe is so lovely. The decor and food are definitely worth a visit.

Other
• Publicis Drugstore (133 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris)
We frequented this place many times for the variety inside. They have a food market, wine shop, pharmacy, bookstore, Pierre Hermé macaron boutique, 2 restaurants and more. It is located at the top of Champs Élysées.

We also went to a couple destinations on the outskirts of Paris: Champagne and Versailles. I will post pictures and our experiences in those places in Part II next week.

Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!
