For decades, my grandmother made sure we had everything we needed, from school sneakers to allowances.
Last year, I decided it was time to return the favor. We flew from Newark (EWR) to Paris (ORY) on French Bee for a mission: to check off her three lifelong dreams: the Eiffel Tower, a street cafe, and a Parisian shopping spree.
In this video:
• The Flight: Newark to Orly on French Bee—is it the best way to get to France?
• Galeries Lafayette Haussmann: Shopping under the famous glass dome.
• The “It’s on Me” Moment: Giving back to the woman who gave us everything.
• Dining at Lou Cantou: A classic Parisian dinner.
• The Notre Dame Pivot: Why even the best-planned trips need a Plan B.
Travel Pro-Tip: If you’re visiting Paris with an older family member, Orly (ORY) is often much easier to navigate and closer to the city center than Charles de Gaulle (CDG)!
