Packing for a 10-day trip to France meant being intentional about every piece that went into my suitcase. I wanted stylish shoes and bags for France travel that were versatile enough for everything on the itinerary (from walking 20,000 steps through Paris, to afternoons along the French Riviera, to elegant dinners in Monaco) without overpacking.
Instead of bringing a different bag and pair of shoes for every outfit, I relied on a small collection of timeless, neutral pieces that mixed and matched effortlessly with my wardrobe. Every pair earned its spot by being comfortable, practical, and polished enough to elevate multiple looks.
Below, I’m sharing the exact shoe and bag combinations I packed, why I chose them, and where I wore each one. If you’re planning a European vacation (or simply want to pack smarter), these are the travel staples I’d recommend again and again.
