So which one are you? 👇

You know that moment when you land somewhere new, you’re exhausted, you turn on your phone and… nothing. No signal.

Yeah, we all hate that.

That’s why I started using @jetpacglobal eSIM. It’s easy to use, up to 70% cheaper than roaming, plans starting at $1, and WhatsApp and Google Maps still work even when your data runs out 🤩

So be ready for your trip and never pay for too much for your roaming bill 🙌

Just wait for the transition .. 😮👇

@jr did it again in Paris!

We can finally see "La Caverne du Pont Neuf" from outside right now and it looks absolutely fabulous! 🤩

It officially opens June 6, so save the date and go before everyone else does 👀 and it stays until 28 June 2026.

JR is a French artist known for transforming the world's most iconic landmarks with giant installations.

Maybe you've already seen one of his works on the Palais Garnier, Trocadéro or the Louvre but this time he covered Paris's oldest bridge and turned it into a cave ✨

Best croissant in Paris 👇

Of course, there is a big competition for the Best butter croissant every year in Paris

Last week they finally announced the winner of 2026 during the Fête du Pain (Bread Festival), and yes, of course we also celebrate bread 😃

And this year’s winner is this charming boulangerie 👇

Boulangerie du Sentier
📍 47 rue du Caire, 75002 Paris

The croissant itself was flaky, buttery, crispy but soft inside, exactly how I like it 🥐 and the best part, fresh out of oven, perfect timing 🥹

It’s an absolute must-try in Paris!

There are hundreds of “best croissants” in Paris but this one is the official one for 2026. And it’s up to you to decide if it’s the best one for you or not 🙌

but I must say it’s in my TOP 5 🥹

Congratulations @boulangeriedusentier 🥐 🥳

Don’t miss the flea markets in Paris 👇

First of all, welcome to my series “Paris like a PRO” where I share all the good stuff, the best Paris tips with you every Tuesday ✨

If you want to make your trips o Paris even more special, wake up earlier on the weekends and find the nearest flea market 🤩

It’s one of the most French thing you can do and it’s all worth it. Imagine you could find your favorite souvenirs on random flea market in the middle of Paris 🥹

Brocante = flea market with mostly professional resellers

Vide Greniers = local flea market/kind of a garage sale

I prefer going to “vide grenier” rather than a normal flea market because the prices are better and you can truly find some treasures 😌

I’ll make a highlight and share every week the dates & locations of the weekend flea markets ✨

Free & totally unexpected 👇

Yes, you’ll have to cross a working police station. Just say you’ll go to the museum on the reception and you’re good to go 😌

The Musée de la Préfecture de Police traces 400 years of Parisian police history through 2000+ original works: uniforms, weapons, paintings, sculptures and real pieces of evidence. From serial killer files to the gun that killed a French president.

And almost no one is ever there 👀

I was happy to find the English audio guide available for non-French speakers ✨ it was truly interesting to see!

So if you’re going to try the famous croissant from La Maison d’Isabelle nearby, stop quickly to this super hidden museum 🙃

Musée de la Préfecture de Police
📍 4 rue de la Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, 75005 Paris
Ⓜ️ Maubert - Mutualité (10)
📆 open every Tuesday & Wednesday from 9:30am - 5pm and Thursday from 9:30am - 7 pm
🎟️ free, you might need to make a reservation on their official website
