Looking for some more unusual places to add to your Paris bucket list that aren’t the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame or Louvre?

Living in France, only a two-hour train ride from Paris, I’m there quite often and, each time I go, I discover a new hidden gem.

From bookshops in 12th-century alleyways to teashops with views of the Seine River, there is so much to enjoy in Paris.

However, if you only have a limited time you’ll want to create an itinerary that’s a mix of tourist attractions and secret spots only the locals know. That way you cover all bases.

So in this episode, I'm helping you tick some things off your bucket list in Paris.

Ever wondered how you can be a dedicated Francophile whilst living on the other side of the world in Australia, meet my second guest, Loulabelle of Loulabelle’s FrancoFiles

She’s a rather special guest because she’s the host of another podcast with a show all about France. We’re doing a swap and guesting on each other’s podcast so we can both share our stories.

Loulabelle is an Aussie who loves all things French and is living in my old stomping ground of Melbourne - yes I lived in Australia for ten years before moving to France, so I loved chatting all things France, and Australia, and hearing Loulabelle share her knowledge of places I haven’t been to, as well as some I have. She’s entertaining and has so many fab stories to share with you all.
