Often times in Black travel circles we’ll hear rumblings about “overrated” or “basic” destinations, but when it comes to certain places like Paris, we believe there is no such thing. Similar to New York, Paris is and always will be fly!

From the beauty of the Eiffel Tower and picturesque walks along the Champs-Élysées to chic cafes and designer shopping, there is and will never be anything basic or overrated about exploring the City of Lights. That’s why some of Black society’s hottest creatives flock to the streets of Paris each year to show up and show out.

Check out a few of the FOMO-inducing photos we’ve rounded up from some of our favorite creatives currently slaying the Parisian streets. Trust us, one look will have you understanding why Paris will never go out of style.
