Spent four days and three nights in France, living out the relaxed vibe of Paris

Finally checked in to Paris, synonymous with 'romance'. Did plenty of safety homework before coming, and upon arrival, I immersed myself in this 'moving feast', feeling completely satisfied. Here is the full guide organized: 🏨Accommodation It is recommended to choose from districts 1, 2, 5, 6, 8 for safety and convenience. This time I stayed in the 6th district, which has many local delicacies nearby, and the Eiffel Tower is within walking distance (2.4km) ✨Attractions 1️⃣Eiffel Tower Visible from various angles, but still willing to get close for a better look (be aware of pickpockets, avoid eye contact) 2️⃣Palace of Versailles Advance reservation for tickets + guided tour is needed, about 1h from the city center, approximately 32 euros by uberX. It's recommended to go early in the morning to queue up, not visiting the Grand Garden will save at least 2.5 hours 3️⃣Louvre Museum Had a 3 pm appointment, foreigners were queuing in the square to enter, locals took the underground (faster). Renting a guide is advised, don't miss the three treasures of the museum: Venus, Mona Lisa, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace + Egyptian Gallery 4️⃣Le Marais A fashionable district with select shops and niche brands, suitable for a city walk 5️⃣Pompidou Centre Connected to Le Marais, a modern art museum, looks like a factory. You can book the top-floor restaurant, be aware of the prevalence of pickpockets in the area. 6️⃣Seine River Divides Paris into the Left Bank and the Right Bank, didn't take a boat. Strolling along, crossing bridges, sitting on the public benches on the bridges was quite pleasant. 7️⃣Notre-Dame de Paris On the banks of the Seine, passed by without going in. Didn't see the hunchback from Hugo's pen, but could admire the Gothic style of the church and the lively atmosphere in front of it. 8️⃣Arc de Triomphe/Champs-Élysées The famous shopping street leading to the Arc de Triomphe, crowded with people 🍴Restaurants A block away from Hotel Louison in the 6th district, there is a breakfast place highly recommended by French friends (the seafood platter for dinner is also good): Au Chien Qui Fume, recommended for scrambled eggs with ham and cheese🧀 Les Cocottes Near the Eiffel Tower, need to book in advance on weekends. Recommended dishes are beef stewed in red wine, baked cuttlefish rice, and snails Cafe Blanc Next to the Louvre, recommended for single-layer beef burgers and handmade lemon tea Georges Located on the top floor of the Pompidou Centre, offering a stunning skyline view of Paris. Reservation needed, snails, baked lamb chops, baked beef, cod, and foie gras are all good choices Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel Afternoon Tea A popular afternoon tea spot in the city, enjoyed in the courtyard of an ancient royal building, the desserts recommended by the lady are quite suitable for Asian sweetness. There's also a bakery for takeout
