Welcome Departures. The place to be for where to go and what to see. In this edition, we hit the highest restaurant in Paris for one of the best dinners with a view, I take you to my favorite city in Europe and look at one of the best ways to beat your the dreaded analysis paralysis when packing. So now without further ado, let’s take it away! Alvin 📰 This Week in Travel:A TLDR approach to some of the week’s most important headlines.
📸 Destination Deep Dive:Comprehensive multipart series on a single destination. France Part 09 Last week on Destination Deep Dive: France Part 08 we visited the terrace at Printempts Hausmann and one of my favorite watering holes in the city. This week we revisit Montparnasse Tower, this time for the highest restaurant in Paris. Located on the 56th floor of Montparnasse Tower, it offers diners unobstructed views of Champ de Mars, Eiffel Tower and La Defense financial district. Service has always been impeccable. The menu is varied but not overwhelming and definitely a lot more accessible to narrower food palettes. Though I would not go as far as calling it child friendly, the menu options are less likely to alienate anyone like some of the more exotic dining options I typically recommend. Whether you choose to go for only drinks or multi course dinner, I can guarantee the view will not disappoint. Note that window tables are prime real estate and unfortunately cannot always be guaranteed. For menu and reservations: Next week on Destination Deep Dive: France Part 10 we continue our tour of the best roof tops in Paris. About Destination Deep Dives Destination Deep Dives offer a more immersive look at one particular destination in a recurring format over a several editions of the newsletter. It is where I give myself room to explore a broader set of points of interests, for all travel styles and budgets. Think of them as small parts of a larger travel guide. Even though I will be publishing them all together as one guide at the end of the series, you may access them all as individual articles inside their corresponding Departures edition here: 🗺 Bucket List:Short highlight of a dream destination. I have personally been obsessed with the city of 100 spires since I was a child. More than any other city in Europe, I would always find myself daydreaming about coming here in what I could only describe as the closest thing to a real life fairytale. It was for obvious reasons one of the very first cities I visited on my very first trip to Europe and in a very surreal twist of fate, the city I was stuck for 6 months when the pandemic locked down the world in March of 2020. Although the details of that last stay are the subject of an excessively extended blog post I am actively working on, I will just say that to this day, Prague remains my favorite city in all of Europe. Now that the Czech Republic has finally lifted all entry restrictions, I recommend anyone who’s in Europe add it to their bucket list as well. 🧳 Carry-on Only:Travel experience, tech and accessory reviews.
