Leave it to breakout star Aya Jones (@IamAyaJones) to rule the Fashion Week runways with an iron bee-stung pout and a head-turning strut. The Paris-raised stunner has walked almost 40 shows so far this season, scoring coveted spots at Valentino, Prada, and Dior, among others. So what's it like to be back in her very own City of Lights? For starters, it means a warm welcome at her family's popular restaurant on the Rue de la Forge Royale, which serves up cuisine from her father’s native Ivory Coast; and then a jaunt through the metropolis as its famous landmarks play host to some of the biggest fashion shows. Here, see Jones’s favorite Parisian haunts—as she takes us for a stellar ride through her hometown.

Paris is well known for its bad traffic, so the speediest way between shows and appointments is by motorcycle. It can be a very exciting way to see the city!
