Summer Paris Packing List
Guess what? I am arriving in Paris wrinkle-free! Well, at least my clothes are, due to my “package packing” method. Check out my summer Paris packing list below for helpful tips.
Add spice to the standard black and white Paris attire
Finally an excuse to break out the color. For whatever reason, women freak at the thought of packing for Paris. Figuring out what to wear can be the most stressful part of the trip, non? Make it easy on yourselves ladies and stick to basics. Follow my basic rules and pack like a champ! Your clothes come out wrinkle-free and you will fit everything into one suitcase plus a carry-on bag. Packing for Paris has never been easier!

Happy packing!

Thanks for the great tips! I love the “package” idea. Will definitely try this next time. I haven’t worn a belt in 40 years so definitely won’t be packing those:)
Bon voyage!
Thanks for sharing your list and tips! Believe it or not, when I travel, I use only a carry-on. I’ve done up to 3 weeks. I don’t do Europe in the summer, so I’m able to leave the sunscreen behind – otherwise I’d likely buy sunscreen there.
Oh, and when I pack, I’m a roller vs a folder ;)
Enjoy Paris!
Hi Robin!
I don’t know how you do it for three weeks with just a carry-on, but I usually can do a week that way. This time I have too many different experiences to accomplish that feat. Dressy, casual and in between.
So, you’re a roller eh? It’s hilarious how many travelers get set with one direction or another. I’m not trying to change the world, but I have traveled with so many people who pack poorly and have no room for their clothes on the way back that I figured I would at least give them one way of packing.
Thanks so very much for reading the post and watching the video, but most of all for taking the time to comment here. We must meet up in person one of these days when we are both in the same city!
Cheers,
Priscilla
Hi Christine!
Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment. I am going for a week and have photo shoots and videos being taken with stops at dressy events and casual ones too so I need lots of options. I just took a trip with the same bags and lived out of it for three weeks! I like to think I am an efficient packer.
When I go for a weekend I just need a carry-on!
I have been burned before on the blow dryer deal. Some hotels have the built in deal which does not have enough power for my thick hair. Plus, when traveling with friends and sharing a room we like to be able for us to both be drying our hair at the same time to save time. :)
Cheers,
Priscilla
I like your method for easily lifting out the clothes from the suitcase without disturbing them – I’ll try this next time I pack – Merci!
Hi Kim!
I just love packing in a way that allows everything to stay wrinkle-free and organized. Glad you liked it too.
I appreciate your continued enthusiasm for my blog. You are a super fan!
Cheers,
Priscilla
