Welcome to 888 Things to Do in Paris, a bi-weekly newsletter that showcases the best the city of lights has to offer. And by “best,” I am, of course, referring to world class experiences such as:

  • Popping out two babies during a global pandemic

  • Engaging in a years-long hostile grudge at your local Monoprix

  • Avoiding the beach at all costs

  • Getting debilitating food poisoning from [redacted]

  • Navigating diabolical expat mom Facebook groups

  • Bombing interviews at prestigious private elementary schools

  • Cleaning up dog vomit at everyone’s favorite Instagrammable anglophone bookstore

Subscribe for free and get a weekly email with the latest and hottest tips for living your best life in Paris. Paid subscribers get two emails a week, which include juicier tidbits and blind items about who wore what where. (Hint: it’s always me, wearing a Mennonite-chic maxi dress at Franprix.)
