Exploring Paris with Timeout Paris: A Day of Shopping, Sightseeing, and Seamless Shipping
As a Parisian at heart, there’s nothing I love more than sharing the hidden gems of this beautiful city with others. Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to team up with Timeout Paris for a special collaboration, where I guided them through some of my favorite local shopping spots and must-see places in the City of Light. It was a whirlwind day filled with art, music, literature, and wine—and by the end of it, I had gathered more treasures than I could possibly carry back home!
Our adventure began at Galerie Artelie (@galerie_artelie), a vibrant space showcasing contemporary art. This gallery is a haven for art lovers, offering a stunning selection of pieces that capture the essence of modern creativity.
Next, we made our way to Babaluma Paris (@babaluma_paris), a paradise for vinyl enthusiasts. This massive space is dedicated to niche and rare LPs, making it a dream destination for music lovers. I got some Van Morrison, Jimmy Cliff and a very special Symphonie nu 7 by Beethoven.
our next stop at Violette and Co. Librairie (@violetteandco.librairie) was particularly meaningful. This independent bookstore is dedicated to literature focusing on feminist, LGBTQIA+, and gender issues. The warm and welcoming atmosphere, combined with a carefully curated selection of books, makes it a true gem in the Parisian literary scene.
+ their coffee shop is so cute!
To top off our day, we visited Cave Canaille (@cavecanaille), a delightful wine shop that offers a curated selection of natural wines. The knowledgeable staff helped me choose a few bottles that would be perfect for sharing with friends back home. It was the perfect way to end our shopping spree, with a taste of Paris to take with me across the Atlantic.
Next – Shipping Made Simple with Mailboxes Etc.
By the end of our shopping tour, my bags were overflowing with art, vinyls, books, and wine—all treasures that I couldn’t wait to ship some to the USA. However, the thought of managing all that on the flight was daunting. That’s when I turned to Mailboxes Etc. in Paris, who made the entire process of shipping my purchases seamless and stress-free.
Mailboxes Etc. provided a safe, professional, and efficient solution for shipping my precious finds, ensuring everything arrives in perfect condition. They handled all the packing and paperwork, so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. If you’re ever in Paris and need to ship your purchases home, I highly recommend their services.
Paris is a city that never ceases to inspire, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my passion for it with others.
