7 Days a Parisian: Travel Itineraries and Local Secrets for the City of Lights

Creative director Jiawa Liu has called Paris home for the past decade. As an expat, she sees the city with a unique outlook that is equal parts insider knowledge and perpetual state of wonder. This beautifully curated travel and lifestyle guide brings together her favorite landmarks and hidden gems, offering an authentic experience of Paris that blends the iconic with the unexpected.

This is not just a travel guide; it's an invitation to embrace Parisian culture over seven days or more. Jiawa has created seven themed itineraries and included descriptions for many other venues, so you can mix and match to create your ultimate week in Paris, or select your favorite options if you have less than a week to spare.

The seven chapters are:

• Day 1 - Be a Tourist
• Day 2 - The Big Sights
• Day 3 - You Became Parisian
• Day 4 - You (Really) Became Parisian
• Day 5 - Day of Vintage
• Day 6 - Day of Artisans
• Day 7 - Day in the Sun

With detailed reviews of where to eat, shop and explore, plus maps and Jiawa's stunning photography throughout, this book is as much a visual escape as it is a practical guide. You'll also find a Paris starter kit with advice on packing, dressing for the seasons, budgeting, etiquette and navigating the city with ease.

This is Paris through the lens of a creative, a foreigner-turned-local and a true flâneuse - someone who moves through the city with curiosity, style and eyes wide open to Paris' true beauty.
