Paris is a city designed for strolling, with its grand boulevards, photogenic buildings, and hundreds of beautifully manicured parks. My biggest mistake on my first trip to Paris? I packed the wrong footwear. I visited in late May and brought an overstuffed suitcase of strappy sandals and heels. After a day of rain (leading to chafing and blisters), I popped into a few shops in the Marais and purchased comfortable sneakers and ankle boots that I wore on repeat for the rest of the trip.

Musée d'Orsay hosted an exhibit last year called "Art is in the Street," which cataloged "the spectacular rise of the illustrated poster in Paris during the second half of the 19th century." The prints were lithographs - drawings made on limestone with greasy pencils, which were then exposed to water and inverted onto sheets of paper. Typically, each color got its own stone. The finished product was a firework of oily yellows and reds.

We'd been dreaming of a girls' trip for the past two years, but nothing had ever materialized because of our clashing schedules. Luckily, though, we finally found a time when we were both available. Because we aren't huge planners, we were excited about the idea of a last-minute trip. After a truly exhilarating week, here are three things I enjoyed about the experience and three I'd do differently next time.

Though it's eas­i­ly for­got­ten in our age of air trav­el and instan­ta­neous glob­al com­mu­ni­ca­tion, many a great city is locat­ed where it is because of a riv­er. That holds true every­where from Lon­don to Buenos Aires to Tokyo to New York - and even to Los Ange­les, despite its own once-uncon­trol­lable riv­er hav­ing long since been turned into a much-ridiculed con­crete drainage chan­nel.

The Jane Birkin footbridge -- it's poetic,

At a moment when independent cinemas across Europe are dimming their lights for good, Louis Denavaut breathes new life into the historic venue of the Elysées Lincoln cinema in Paris, France. The architect creates a sequence of atmospheres for this project, reflected in three distinct interior worlds that are clad in various materials and colors, from hushed velvet greens to saturated pinks and soft pastel tones.

This restructuring project makes it possible to intensify a strong architectural gesture - this briefly describes the basic idea of our Paris office for the renovation of the former, modernist Peugeot headquarters (architects Sainsaulieu) near the Arc de Triomphe. The project offers the central Parisian urban space an exciting 110-metre long facade. In this area, the existing concrete structure forms the backdrop for an innovative window system.

42UP: A Vertical Campus in Paris Redefining Educational Architecture. In the heart of Paris's 17th arrondissement, AR Studio d'Architectures has completed 42UP, a radical extension of Ecole 42 that doubles its capacity while minimizing its footprint. The project transforms 3,600 m into a 9,025 m vertical campus, accommodating 1,400 workstations in an institution operating 24/7, without teachers, without courses, and completely free.

Emily in Paris paints the French capital through rose-colored glasses. Just as you probably aren't prancing around New York City in Manolo Blahnik stilettos and a tutu à la Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, Parisians are much more toned-down than Emily-and you'll rarely see designer labels flashing loudly on bags or fine jewelry from the likes of Dior.

We are looking for a versatile writer based in Paris who is fluent in French and understands France and the challenges of being a foreign resident here.

Artist Francis Bacon is known for his hell-raising antics in London, but the Dublin-born painter also had a soft spot for Paris. Following his hit exhibition at the Grand Palais in 1971 he took a a small studio apartment in the French capital. During this time Michael Peppiatt, the UK art historian who wrote Francis Bacon in Your Blood (2015), was his guide to the French capital, helping him navigate the City of Lights.

The "California Gurls" hitmaker and the longtime politician publicly debuted their relationship over the weekend, shutting down months of speculation. Perry, 41, and Trudeau, 53, were photographed holding hands during a date night in Paris on Saturday. The singer, in a red body-hugging dress, and Trudeau in a black suit were seen exiting cabaret club Crazy Horse Paris, where they celebrated Perry's birthday. Video shared by Backgrid shows Perry accepting a rose from a bystander and Trudeau placing his hand on her back as they walk to their SUV.

"One thing that I realized while writing is that heists are actually easier to execute than we see in movies and on TV shows," Piazza tells Bustle. "So I might have been the least surprised person on the planet about the Louvre heist. In fact, I felt so validated in how I executed it on the page. I also think my version is a little sexier."

Not only is it well-positioned for a trip to Paris, it also has a fabulous roof terrace bar with 360-degree views, a designer fitness room, spa treatment room, and sauna. You might never need to leave the hotel as it also boasts an in-house restaurant, Pimpan, where I enjoyed a terrific al fresco dinner in the courtyard garden. I visit Paris regularly and have stayed in multiple arrondissements, but every time I return to stay in the 6th, I'm reminded of why I love it.

Few things bring the Condé Nast Traveller team much joy as discovering a new city. We're happiest when dipping in and out of Madrid's world-class galleries, ambling along Budapest 's riverside and sampling the wares of Bruges' chocolate shops - and that's just us getting started. While you'll find most of us taking to the streets - via bakeries, bars and attractions, of course - on foot, putting our favourite pair of worn-out trainers to good use.

A few months in, and her French has barely improved, her roommates are gross and rude, and she has to work two jobs under the table to make rent. She's also making the entire United States of America look bad by insisting on making Stove Top stuffing for Thanksgiving. That is our special thing as Americans, and no European mind will ever comprehend that, Belly. You should have just made them gravy because that is at least something they all understand.

Thirty musicians and singers recently gathered in the streets of Paris for a flashmob performance of Queen 's iconic song "Bohemian Rhapsody." A video of the flashmob was posted on the YouTube channel of one of the performers, pianist Julien Cohen, on Tuesday (September 9th), and the clip has since gone viral, surpassing over 500,000 views in just one day.

The question of the summer has been, "Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah?" It's fair to say that Jenny Han's long-awaited final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty has fans more invested than ever in the conclusion to this swoony, coming-of-age love story. The show has always been filled with scenic eye candy, including the picturesque-and fictional-Cousins Beach on Cape Cod (but actually filmed in Wilmington, N.C.).

Fred Delangle + 15 More SpecsLess Specs Fred Delangle Text description provided by the architects. Located in the heart of Paris, the residence offers shelter to women who have experienced violence. Led by Vilogia Group and operated by the associations FIT "Une Femme, Un Toit" and Aurore, it provides temporary housing - a vital transitional step in their journey - enabling them to regain a sense of dignity and safety before beginning a new chapter in their lives.

I was working full-time in Washington, DC, when I fell for an international student from France who was temporarily studying in the city. After six months together, he headed to Madrid to kick-start his career, and we began dating long-distance for about 18 months. We got married in 2017, and I moved to Spain to be with him. Although I quickly found work as a journalist, the city never truly felt like home to me.
