Girls getaway
Grab your sister, your mother, your aunt, whoever that is not a boy and take her/them to Paris with you for an ultimate girls-only week end. Play it like in “Sex and the City” and let the boys at home!
Do you remember when you used to have time to pamper yourself? When you were just a careless young lady, with no responsibility… Take those times back thanks to a well-organized week end with you girlfriends in Paris.
First of all, here are the 10 top reasons why you should go on a girls getaway :
| 1 Laugh |

| 3 Bond with your girlfriends |
| 4 Cheaper than therapy |
| 5 Do the things your partner never likes to do |
| 6 Absence makes the heart grow fonder |
| 7 Reconnect and share life’s lessons and foibles |
| 8 Way better than just doing lunch |
| 9 You can wear your old teddy bear pyjama |
| 10 And above all, you deserve it! |
What to do on a girls-only week end?
Well, first of all, SHOPPING, of course! Here’s a usefull website that lists the main shopping districts.
My favorite shopping district is the Avenue des Champs Elysées, because it gathers all my favorite boutiques : Zara, H&M, Massimo Dutti, IKKS… And of course, as said in a previous post, Les Quatre Temps mall in La Défense.
You’ll also get the chance to discover the parisian bakeries and have a taste of each and every pastry you want. Everyone know that boys are more into steacks and sausages, not really into cakes and ice creams. With your girls, try to go to at least one ice cream parlor, and at least one french bakery.
My favourites are : Berthillon’s ice cream parlor on Ile Sait Louis, and I love Ladurée and their amazingly delicious pastries and especially their macaroons which are famous worldwide.
Last but not least : PUMP IT UP! PARTY!!! There are so many places in Paris that it is difficult to recommend just a few, yet I narrowed my list down to 2 : Try the “Cab“ club and the “Madam“ . If you want to have a look on all the clubs in Paris, use this website
After having set the dancefloor on fire, you’ll need to rest. But not in any type of hotel… Choose a girly one!
Here are two that might do the trick :
Hotel Soft
With its very fresh and girly colors, the decoration will surely please your girly eyes… The bedding is just perfect… Perfect for a “jump on the bed” party! (Yes, you’re allowed to act like a 3 year old when you are with your friends…)
