Breakfast needn’t be an elaborate affair while you’re zipping around Paris. I popped to Maison Julien, a cute patisserie en route to visit the Arc du Triomphe. My pain au chocolat was so good that I went back inside to buy a second after just one bite.

A word to the wise, though. I went pretty early on Saturday morning in the hope of 1) finding a warm croissant fresh out of the oven and 2) getting to the Arc de Triomphe before it was overrun with other tourists desperate to take exactly the same photos as me. Thankfully, the magic eraser tool (and it truly is magic) on my phone took care of the people in the foreground of my photos. I only hope the poor people behind me were able to do the same when I paused to sneeze right in front of their cameras as I shuffled away from the crowd.
