Paris

Start your day at Café de Flore in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood, where Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre would often meet to discuss philosophy and politics.

Next, take a stroll through the Luxembourg Gardens, which were redesigned in the 19th century by Marie de' Medici, the queen consort of King Henry IV of France.

Head to the Musée Curie, which is dedicated to the life and work of Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person to win two Nobel Prizes in different fields.

Stop by the Pantheon, which was originally built as a church to honor St. Genevieve, but was converted into a secular mausoleum in 1791. It now houses the tombs of many famous French figures, including Marie Curie, Simone Veil, and Germaine Tillion, a French resistance fighter and anthropologist.

Enjoy lunch at Les Deux Magots, another iconic café in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood that was a gathering place for artists and intellectuals, including Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre.

After lunch, visit the Musée de l'Orangerie, which houses an impressive collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art, including works by Berthe Morisot, one of the few women artists to be recognized by her male peers in the late 19th century.

Explore the historic La Fronde newspaper office in the Latin Quarter, which was run entirely by women during the late 19th century and served as a platform for feminist activism.

End your day with dinner at La Régalade Saint-Honoré, a restaurant owned by chef and entrepreneur Babette de Rozières, who has been awarded the prestigious French Legion of Honor for her contributions to French gastronomy.
