Your Paris Packing List

Welcome to DAY 5!

Now that you have written your Paris Bucket List, it’s time to think about the Packing List!

Don’t worry: we don’t want you to decide what to wear in Paris weeks, perhaps months, in advance. We are talking about a list of a few travel essentials, not a detailed packing list. Like this, if you are missing something important, you still have time to buy it before you leave.

How is the Perfect Paris Packing List

» Use a good suitcase, which is durable and with the maximum comfort. If you don’t have one yet, we recommend the Delsey Helium Aero. This beautiful suitcase comes with double spinner wheels to keep weight off your arm, convenient and secure packing, and a TSA-accepted lock to keep your things safe.

» Main travel essentials for visiting Paris:

  • a pair of comfortable shoes
  • a pair of jeans /comfortable pants or skirt
  • 2 tops
  • 1 light jacket /1 coat (depending on the season)
  • a foldable umbrella
  • a day bag /backpack. We recommend an anti-theft travel bag or an anti-theft travel backpack.

» Try to avoid clothes that pointed out as a tourist. Check out our guides to blend in with the local crowd in Paris, all seasons, for men and women.

Today’s Task

Write a first packing list for your trip to Paris. Be sure you have everything on the list already. If something is missing, buy it. You can complete the rest of your Paris Packing List a few days before your departure.
