I love these Merrell shoes not only for their comfort and performance, but also for their design: the combination of grey and pink, my two favorite colors at the moment, makes them both stylish and versatile. They're perfect for exploring the city with confidence and style!

Field Notes:

For me, this walk perfectly combines nature, great quality coffee and relaxation in the heart of Paris. From the elegant Jardin du Luxembourg to the charming Île Saint-Louis, each stop offers a unique atmosphere, whether it's enjoying a peaceful green space, discovering a cozy café (my fav is The Coffee) or strolling along the Seine. It’s the ideal way to experience the city’s beauty while walking.

When To Visit

The best time of the year to visit would be spring because you can enjoy the nature in the city at its best, and the Jardin des Plantes jus grown flowers.

Q&A:

Why do you love urban hiking in Paris?

The feeling of constant discovery! Every urban hike is an opportunity to admire stunning architecture, stumble upon charming cafés, and experience the unique atmosphere of each neighborhood. Even after living here for seven years, I still find hidden gems and unexpected surprises, which makes every walk special.

How did you start your IG and why, what has been the best thing to happen through the platform?

I started my Instagram out of pure passion, as a way to share what I love, at the beginning mostly fashion, and express my creativity. Over time, it grew into something much bigger, sharing more and more life moments, allowing me to connect with an incredible community. The best thing that has happened through the platform is without a doubt the people I've met!
