Where to Eat in the 1st Arrondissement
Welcome to the heart of Paris, the 1st arrondissement. From the Mona Lisa’s home at the Louvre Museum to the shopping mecca of Rue de Rivoli, if you’re visiting Paris you’re bound to pass through this neighborhood. This district is also home to some of the most iconic spots in Paris, including the Tuileries Gardens, the Palais Royal, and the Place Vendôme. Whether you need to refuel after shopping or are looking for a nuit on the town, there’s something in the 1st for everyone.
Here are a few of my favorites:
