The Trocadéro is relatively well-known as an area of the city that offers a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower. Located in the 16th Arrondissement on the Right Bank of Paris, a visit to the Trocadéro will get you a stunning view of the Iron Lady from across the Seine - it’s a great place to visit in Paris. The downside: it’s almost always extremely crowded… unless you follow my tips and street-by-street walking guide for the perfect sunrise morning at the Trocadéro and the surrounding neighborhood.

Ideas for what to do in Paris: I’m sharing a blog post on a few of my favorite things from my spring visit to Paris France. Read on for details on my high-level itinerary for a 2 week visit to France, as well as some of my favorite experiences while in Paris: a day trip to Reims, a rooftop dinner overlooking the Seine, a private Louvre tour, walks in Saint Germain des Pres and Montmartre, a temporary photography exhibit, and a petite impromptu chocolate tour (yum!).

Did you know there is a vineyard hidden in plain sight in Montmartre, just a couple of blocks behind Sacré Cœur? The Vignes du Clos Montmartre has been in operation since 1933 and is considered the last operational vineyard in Paris proper. There’s just one problem: the vineyard is typically closed to the public, with only a smattering of tours available throughout the year. Learn more about the vineyard and how you can pay it a visit.
