City Trip | Paris
Are you planning to go on a city trip with your kids? Paris is always a good idea. The city of love is one of the best city trips in Europe. An abundance of historical buildings, romantic settings, restaurants that are on point and incredible museums. There is just so much to explore while drinking your coffee to go and eating the best croissants in the world. We bundled some of our most loved places in Paris:
Hotel Babel
A beautiful antique hotel situated in the 20th arr. district of Paris. Think antique mirrors full of history, sculpted wood in warm tones.. A popular neighborhood in the heart of Paris where every piece of wall tells a story and life springs up from the pavement. This hotel makes you feel home straightaway.
Heading up the kitchen, chef Clarie Feral Akram has devised a dynamic menu, a bridge between cultures. Drawing on an inexhaustible reservoir of global spices and silk road culinary influences, vegetables have pride of place in Clarie’s cuisine: sesame-breaded peppers, harissa coulis, Sriracha-glazed herbed rice balls.
While the kids are sleeping you can go back to the bar for a cocktail. All the products they serve are homemade or made a few blocks away: from coffee to beer, as well as limonade, syrups and ginger beer. Hand-made goods and locally grown, seasonal produced - all the better to make them soar with flavours from around the world.

Restaurant Popolare
This authentic Pizza restaurant is part of the Big Mamma group, which has multiple locations all with there unique touch. A super welcoming pizzeria where you can get the best pizza's, house-made Italian ice cream (made with buffalo milk) or house-brewed pints of lager, ale and IPA. We visited the restaurant with our boys (5 and 8) and they loved to take a glimpse in the kitchen to see their pizza get baked in front of them.
