For us Californians, moving internationally to Paris also means trading in your SUV for new greener means of transport. Paris was one of the first European cities to practice bike sharing!

Hop on a bateau and ride on the Seine for a romantic view of Paris. You can catch a glimpse of the “Ile de la Cite,” Notre Dame, and hundreds of Parisians people watching on the banks of the Seine. On your way home from work pick up a baguette, some camembert, grab a seat on the left bank, and watch as the sunset casts the most beautiful shade of rose on the city. You can almost hear “La ville on rose” play in the background.
