What Living in Paris Is Really Like | A Normal Weekend

Welcome back to The Thompsons Abroad! In this week's Paris vlog, we're taking you along for a normal weekend in our new life abroad. From grocery shopping at our neighborhood Franprix to enjoying brunch at the charming Chez Gaston, we're sharing what everyday life in Paris actually looks like beyond the tourist attractions. We also spend the afternoon exploring the iconic Galeries Lafayette, one of Paris' most beautiful shopping destinations, where even window shopping feels like an experience. Moving to Paris has been full of surprises, and we're learning that some of our favorite moments aren't the famous landmarks—they're the simple routines, local discoveries, and everyday experiences that are slowly making Paris feel like home.
