This was a fun series where I shared the day-to-day discoveries on my trips to Paris. It was way before Instagram stories where you shared numerous photos in a 24-hour period. I know not all of you are on Instagram and my push to be present while traveling is the reason for this Paris winter 2023 recap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paris Winter 2023 Recap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My trips are an investment in my business for both <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rebeccaplotnick.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Print Shop<\/a><\/strong> and research for the blog and are fully funded by me. If anything is gifted along the way, I will make sure to point that out. For privacy and security, I don&#8217;t share where I stay until after I am checked out.  Once I am finished with my day, I usually post everything on Instagram all at once at the end of the night before I fall asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Stay in Paris<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I love a good boutique hotel and I was happy to try out a new to me spot that has been on my wish list for a while. My first hotel was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.relais-christine.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Relais Christine<\/a><\/strong> which is located on the Left Bank on a quiet side street. The location was perfect for exploring Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s and also a quick walk to The Tuileries and Seine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned earlier, one of the perks of traveling in the winter is that you have fewer tourists and the rates are lower than in peak season. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.relais-christine.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Relais Christine<\/a><\/strong> surprised me with a little upgrade to a duplex junior suite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CnyCybdjpB9\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

In terms of the crowd, I am confident I was the only American\/English speaker in the restaurant.

I have always passed by and never gone but it has been on my shortlist. My hotel recommended I go here so it was decided this was the time. I had the hotel book a reservation for me for the evening. This isn&#8217;t always necessary but the restaurant interior was packed at 7 pm. I sat outside which wasn&#8217;t warm and cozy but still had great people watching. It was classic French with some modern offerings as well. My steak, fries, and wine were exactly what I was craving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Drink Coffee in Paris<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/the-best-coffee-shops-in-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coffee in Paris is a must for me, I wrote a whole post on the best coffee shops in Paris<\/a><\/strong>. In the last 10 years, there has been a change in the coffee scene and it keeps exploding with Paris and Australian roasters. Parisians are serious about their coffee and there are so many great spots to explore. I have a whole post with a map of coffee spots in Paris. The two below are the new ones I tried and enjoyed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/noircoffeeshop.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Noir Coffee<\/a><\/strong> has a few locations including one on \u00eele st. Louis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bonjourjacob.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bonjour Jacob<\/a><\/strong>, also has two locations. The one I visited was the newest location and on the Left Bank close to my hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/embed?mid=1QGwtkX-uMso37RR_HipJmvlXjw0S5RO0&amp;ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cocktails in Paris <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This has been on my list for a while now! I really wanted to try some cocktail spots in Paris. For a drink with a view that is on the pricier side, try <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevalblanc.com\/en\/maison\/paris\/menu\/menus-le-tout-paris\/\">Le Tout Paris in Cheval Blanc<\/a><\/strong> overlooking The Seine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really enjoyed the hotel bar at my hotel, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.pavillon-faubourg-saint-germain.com\/restaurant-les-parisiens-bar-james-joyce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The James Joyce Bar.<\/a><\/strong> The bartenders were fabulous and so fun to watch as entertainment. I tried one of their signature cocktails and also a classic Americano which I didn&#8217;t know existed. The bartenders were making a few for some other guests and I inquired about it. Typically I order a Negroni and this was Campari, Vermouth, and soda water which was very smooth and lighter. Campari is an acquired taste for sure and in the summer, I will do a Campari and soda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.pavillon-faubourg-saint-germain.com\/restaurant-les-parisiens-bar-james-joyce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3416-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"James Joyce Bar Pavillon Faubourg Saint Germain Paris \" class=\"wp-image-29541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3416-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3416-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3416-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prescriptioncocktailclub.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prescription Cocktail Bar<\/a><\/strong> has been on my list for years and my hotel was around the corner making it the perfect opportunity. Sundays and Mondays are typically quieter which worked out well for me and my schedule. The rain was terrible on Sunday night and I was jetlagged so I pushed for Monday night after my photo shoot. I sat at the bar and had a lovely chat with the bartender. There is a menu with drinks and a special of the month which was a Mezcal cocktail with truffle that I passed on. Instead, I did a Mezcal sour which was a bit different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where I Shopped in Paris: Winter Recap 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are sales in Paris twice a year and I happened to be in Paris for the winter sales. I sadly didn&#8217;t find much of anything to bring home and didn&#8217;t feel like sorting through the sale racks during my short time in Paris. I know people have scored great deals and brought home some amazing items, I was just on limited time and my bags didn&#8217;t have a ton of room for extras. If you do have time, the sales at the shops in Paris are worth checking out and there are signs in every window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CityPharma<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CityPharma is a pharmacy in Paris that has a cult following. Lines will wrap around outside with people waiting to shop at the discounted French pharmacy. There are numerous blog posts written about this pharmacy and everyone swears by it. The prices are good don&#8217;t get me wrong, but I typically will go for convenience and time over saving a little money. You will expect to usually wait in line outside and again at the cashiers. It is packed with people and the aisles are small so be warned! They have just about every French brand you can think of for purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I happened to walk by in the evening on a cold winter night and it wasn&#8217;t that crowded so I ducked in and out quickly spending about 50 euros on some Av\u00e8ne items. Sunscreen was on the top of my list because I forgot to pack mine and I needed my daily sunscreen. I ended up loving the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+I7HijexHyKX-oLDa-acz0w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hydrance<\/a><\/strong> one from Av\u00e8ne but sadly, I can&#8217;t find it in the US. My skin is super dry and this does the trick and has SPF which is amazing. So if you find yourself in Paris, I would grab this product. I will be back for more next trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Citypharma Favorites <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+BliZyUqdNN3ICGw6FGs4xQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cicalfate<\/a><\/strong> is an amazing Av\u00e8ne product so I picked some up for home just to have in case we needed it. I have the hand cream and it does wonders. I also was intrigued by the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+xQSOd7ltNe-xgRkyL-4JQA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hydrance boost<\/a><\/strong>. If you have seen my medicine cabinet, I do not need many of these items but love to test out new products and I am always looking for something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/frenchpharmacy.com\/products\/biafine-emulsion-large-tube-cream?variant=42142326685922&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAleOeBhBdEiwAfgmXf92324ZBQepKxQUnNLXHhFuDIgwpZlcNGNDgeSiDjyZTMWSKMQDRXRoCf4oQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Biafine<\/a><\/strong> is one of those French pharmacy products everyone raves about that you must have. It is great for burns and I wanted to replenish an older one I had at home. You will be surprised how many times you reach for this after you know you have it. It&#8217;s a good one to have! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3402-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"french pharmacy finds av\u00e8ne Paris \" class=\"wp-image-29552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3402-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3402-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3402-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monoprix <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+RlzxHh3OpLz_7wGTPUqBHA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monoprix<\/a><\/strong> is like a French Target and has food, beauty, and clothing. It&#8217;s amazing and so much fun to walk through. If you are stuck in the rain or cold and find you are close to one, it is a great excuse to duck in to buy an umbrella, hat, or pair of gloves as I did. They have a loyalty card program and they will ask you for your card when you check out for additional savings. If you are expecting or have friends with little ones, I always find their kid&#8217;s\/baby clothes so cute and affordable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are scattered around the city and you will find them in other cities throughout France. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marin Montagut<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.marinmontagut.com\/\">Marin Montagut <\/a><\/strong>has been on my list for a while now but since I don&#8217;t spend as much time on the Left Bank, I never seemed to walk in the direction of the shop. The shop is filled with adorable pieces that are handpainted and make great gifts. It is closed on Sundays which is when I planned to originally visit so I had to make a push to visit this trip. Mondays they open a little later so plan accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marin Montagut is located on Rue Madam and Caf\u00e9 Madame for lunch, dinner, or a snack is located just across the street. I popped over for a cheese plate and a glass of wine after I shopped. I picked up a few things for me and a friend. They wrap everything well but just know that the glass is fragile so make sure you pack it well or carry it on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3588-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Marin Montagut shop in Paris \" class=\"wp-image-29560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3588-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3588-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3588-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3587-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3587-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3587-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3587-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plaq <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I discovered <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/plaqchocolat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plaq chocolate<\/a><\/strong> by accident as I was looking for a coffee spot not far from S\u00e9zane after lunch. I wandered down Rue Montorgeuil and then up to Rue du Nil and I saw this adorable chocolate shop called PLAQ. It&#8217;s a bean-to-bar chocolate shop that opened about three years ago. You can taste and purchase the individual bars and they also sell hot chocolate and coffee. I walked out with 4 bars and I have no regrets. Also, if anyone has plans to go to Paris anytime soon, I am almost out of those bars and wouldn&#8217;t mind a restock \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3753-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"plaq chocolate paris \" class=\"wp-image-29629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3753-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3753-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/everydayparisian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3753-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/seza.ne\/QC9qYQaewX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">S\u00e9zane<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is always a must when I am in Paris.
