As the birthplace of the Enlightenment and a trailblazer in the fashion world, Paris has cemented itself as one of the world's must-see cities. In a country known for exceptional food, style, and art, the capital delivers on all three counts.
The city is split into 20 districts ("arrondissements"), each with its own distinct vibe. Le Marais (in the 4th arrondissement) is famous for its narrow, medieval streets full of traditional bakeries and chic boutiques. The area is also home to the iconic cathedral of Notre-Dame, one of the best examples of French Gothic architecture.
The 7th arrondissement is home to some of the city's most famous landmarks including the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides, and Musée d'Orsay. Neighboring districts have plenty to offer, too, like the iconic Champs-Elysées, Arc de Triomphe, and Opéra Garnier. In the center of Paris, you'll find the world-famous Musée du Louvre, featuring tens of thousands of classic artworks including da Vinci's "Mona Lisa." Right outside the city are the mysterious Catacombs and the Château de Versailles.
Paris, like every French city, takes pride in its cuisine and offers some of the world's best food. You'll find everything from 3-Michelin-star spots like Restaurant Guy Savoy to laid-back bistros like La Mascotte.
Promising fun for all ages, Disneyland Paris is in the eastern suburb Marne-la-Vallée, just a quick train ride from the center.

Paris can only really be enjoyed stress free by good planning. Hotel needs to be booked well in advance and ensure that parking is available. Usually, parking is available for small to midsize cars, but anything on the oversize present's problems. If possible, it is best to book a hotel tactically positioned to allow movement by foot to the desired locations. A good knowledge of the public transport system can also be of good use. There are also tour busses that run like city busses letting you get on and off as desired at most of the touristic locations. Prices are as can be expected for the most part. The main shopping strip flowing into the Arc of Triumph has changed over the years and now houses many discount locations in place of the once present designer strip. Some design locations are still present, but one should lower expectations so as not to be disappointed.

Friendly and lively…plenty to see. Great cafes and bars. Plenty of public seating in the parks. Brilliant Uber service in Paris, responsive, prompt collections and not expensive. On the down side….Heras fencing everywhere- copious amounts of building works, maintenance and cleaning of popular attractions and of course…long queues for prime attractions.

Paris a beautiful city, with great beautiful buildings and so many things to see. Unfortunately people are rude and unfriendly. The food is bad and expensive. My family and I ate at a restaurant close to the Eiffel Tower that charged me 39 Euros for three cokes and 9 euros for a bottle of water and we couldn’t even drink. The water tasted so bad. When I asked the waitress is that was correct he said yes and that he didn’t make the prices.

I stayed in Paris, Montparnasse at the Hotel de la Tour. Just outside were many café's, a Monoprix and to my surprise a famous market was on the Boulevard Edgar Quinet. Fabulous! I walked through St Germaine de Pré and Montparnasse and enjoyed the architecture and city life. Download a map of the areas and start walking!

August 6, 2023
It has been years since i visited Paris, so i was very surprised of the following. There wasn’t as many homeless lining the streets as i was expecting, according to UK news. The River Seine does not smell, years ago it did. Street sellers did not come up to your face and bother you, they were really polite and i had a lot of enjoyment watching the police chase them then the sellers set up stalls further down the street. Lots of police presence that made me feel safe, they were very chatty and helpful. Paris was so clean, regarding the UK news i was expecting it to be dire. I felt very safe on the tube and bus. I bought a 5 day Naivago travel card and i tried to use every mode of transport. I went absolutely everywhere. Eiffel Tower is only under 5 euros for disabled travellers, you just need proof of disability, I absolutely loved the regeneration that is going on to rebuilt Norte Damm and also for the upcoming Olympics in 2024. I wish my visit was longer. Eating out was really expensive ….but i ate a hearty breakfast in the morning, ate fruit for lunch then just a nice meal and a drink of an evening. Wanted to go to Moulin Rouge but 200 euros was too much for me, however, the price changes depending on seasons, kids off school etc so my plan is to go when it’s out of season. I enjoyed finding the Moulin Rouge and was very surprised it was a street full of sex shops BUT there were also restaurants and pubs selling the cheapest cocktails and drinks i had seen all holiday …so for cheap beer thats the place to be, a buzzing street, all modes of transport get you there and it looks magical when it becomes dark. Felt very safe as a single traveller.
