2 days in Paris 😍🥐 #croissant #Traveltips #cafes #running #cycling in #Paris #marriottbonvoy #travel

Do you like croissants too? It is the last week of the Olympics in Paris, so for friends visiting or those thinking about going someday, here is a fun random recommended things to try from our 2-day visit to Paris….Hopefully, you can stay longer and you should probably check out the art and historical sites, but since this was not our first time to Paris (I spent a little longer there after I did my TED talk back in 2015) for this short but extended layover we had a little fun just focusing on 🥐 croissants. Time flies I never got a chance to post because we took a no-posting vow hoping to be more present rather than online for these 2-3 days following a big event that marked the end of a lot of work for a specific accomplishment (I have to wait to post about that later because I promised a couple of exclusive things to a media group so it has to be featured in their piece first 😉) and then I just haven’t had a moment to put anything together, but this layover was just for fun because life is short and @JuanSharks and I are both croissant obsessed, lol. So I hope you enjoy this little travel piece and if you want to see the rest of places and things to try you can watch the full 3 min recommendation video and see the most famous croissant place in Paris 😍 on my youtube where I’ll probably share more travel videos from places we’ve gone or passed through for sharks like: Egypt, the Maldives, Caribbean, French Polynesia, Australia, and more for those looking for recommendations especially around shark/ocean or adventure travel comment below or follow me on youtube and comment a 🥐❤️ if you love croissants too.
