9. La Maison Rose
One of the most instagramed places in Paris, located up on the Montmartre. La Maison Rose translates literally to The Pink House.
If you have seen Emily In Paris you will recognize this street as it is known to be the prettiest street in Paris. Capture some elegant pink photos in front of the building.
Yet, this cafe is not just cute and pink. It is full of history. Serving coffee since the late 1800s, in the early 1900s, a woman called Laure Germaine and her husband Ramon Richot took ownership of the cafe.
The owners happened to be good friends with several artists, two of them you know pretty well: Picasso and Casagemas.
Unfortunately, Casagemas became very obsessed with Germaine, he wanted to marry her.. She refused all his advances and he ended up killing himself publicly in front of her.
Picasso wasn’t here to talk his friend out of it and felt guilty for the rest of his life. But kept returning to La Maison to visit Germaine, and they remained friends until he died.
This tragic event inspired Picasso to paint his painting of 1901, “The Death of Casagemas” which is supposed to celebrate his friend’s life.
10. Avenue De Camoens
Avenue de Camoens is a serene street, offering romantic views of the Eiffel Tower surrounded by stunning French architecture.
Another fabulous spot to capture your Eiffel Tower photos. Sit on the wall and capture some cute candid pics.
This residential area is home to an iconic balcony view that overlooks the eiffel tower. Make sure to look out for the fountain at the bottom of the street!
The short street turns into a stairwell that goes down a steep hill. If you’re searching for Parisian beauty, then bring a picnic lunch and lounge with a view.
You’re going to have to stand on the railing, but it’s definitely worth it

HI! I’m Claudia Torres and I am a self-proclaimed digital nomad, traveling the world and documenting it digitally as I go. Three years down, forever to go!
My travel bug itch began when I began a 9-5 job in college that I was absolutely miserable at. I saved up my tips and got the first flight to Thailand.
Originally born in Cuba, I moved to the USA when I was only 4 years old. My parents didn’t have much, but that didn’t stop them from taking us on trips every year to places like Key West, Disney World, Mexico, and more.
My family is a big part of my love for travel, and I also thank them for teaching me that experiences should always be a priority, no matter what your budget.
I began a number of travel blogs as I went, learning more about digital marketing and SEO every step of the way.
It’s never a dull moment trying to travel on a four-hour workweek, but it’s not something I’d change for the world.
So, come with me on my adventures and help me find the best cafe shop to work from in every city I pass through!
