Welcome to the Paris of local secrets and hidden wonders, of secret passageways, bohemian cafés, eclectic boutiques and chic fashion. More than a travel guide, 7 Days a Parisian is a beautifully curated invitation to experience Paris authentically in seven days or less.
Creative director Jiawa Liu has called Paris home for the past decade, moving through the city with a unique outlook that's equal parts insider knowledge and perpetual state of wonder. Here, she invites us to discover 7 day-long itineraries that blend iconic landmarks - such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, the Louvre and the Champs-Élysées - with the unexpected gems only locals know about. Whether you're a first-time or returning visitor, you can mix and match to create your ultimate week in Paris, or select your favourite options if you have less time.
With detailed reviews of more than 175 places to stay, eat, shop and explore, plus maps and stunning photography throughout, 7 Days a Parisian is as much a visual escape as it is a practical guide. You'll also find advice on packing, dressing for the seasons, budgeting, etiquette and navigating the city with ease. And since 'being Parisian' is about more than clichés, there are lifestyle tips to make your transition from visitor to local complete.
Fall in love with the City of Lights by experiencing it like a true flâneur, someone who embraces the city with curiosity, style and eyes wide open to its true beauty.
