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.

Love visiting Paris, so many beautiful things to see and do from the interesting galleries to just walking around admiring the wonderful architecture. And so easy to get there via the Eurostar from London

April 2, 2024
Sadly major construction projects are currently being undertaken for Olympics. Also major making the city white as the locals are saying, by cleaning the outside of all major stone buildings at nearly every corner. Then if you love American police car chase movies this is the city for you. Currently every 5/10 mins single and groups of various policing 🚔 groups racing through intersection everywhere. Sadly Also lot's of retail workers switching off to you if you speak English. Watch out for the Transit police target squads focusing on just tourist hot spots, never seen people get so excited about catching people like on a bonus system.

April 1, 2024
Our trip was short just three days but, we visited the most important tourist sites: The Louvre Museum, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Seine River, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Champs-Élysées. I think 5 or 7 days would have been better. The food is amazing, with fresh croissants everywhere:) Also, the boat ride is a must-go, just try to go early so you can get more for your money, choose the hop-on hop-off sightseeing cruises the first ride takes you to all the main sites and gives you an idea of what you want to do. The hop-on and hop-off ticket is valid for one entire day until 7 p.m. We love the souvenirs; they are cheap and so nice. The Metro trains work very well, and you will spend much less, you can also take an Uber or an official taxi, but your cost will increase and the traffic in Paris is crazy, just plan accordingly. Best wishes!
Great travel connections using train and metro.

Great travel connections using train and metro. These are fairly priced and will get you everywhere you need to in Paris. We visited the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame (still under construction since the fire), Musee Rodin, Musee D'Orsay, Louvre, Catacombs. It really helps to book all of these types of things in advance. Paris can be expensive for dining out. When you get to the airport (we used CDG), DON'T be tempted to jump into a random taxi offering a good rate. Use the train/metro connections instead. It feels a lot safer, is roughly the same length of time, and cheaper!
Paris is very crowded with tourists, even in the off season.

Paris is very crowded with tourists, even in the off season. You must book what you want to see ahead or you will miss out. Be wary of 3rd party booking sites for attractions. They cost more, and the tickets don’t always work. Book directly from the ticket office of the attraction, if possible.

March 30, 2024
Paris is an amazing city; vibrant, elegant, stylish - everything one would associate and imagine Paris to be. The city is easy to get around either via foot, metro, river, bike or taxi. Food options are plentiful and prices start from very reasonable ( 3 courses for 18 euros) and tasty boulangerie sandwiches or coffee for a few euros available frequently. The people were generally very friendly and polite, bucking the apparent rude Parisian stereotype, and were quick to speak in English when my French abandoned me! A few disappointments included lots of pre Olympic building works in and around some of the major attractions; far too many street sellers and tricksters ( 3 cup ball hustlers were everywhere at the Eiffel tower!); and Versaille, which was extremely crowded, poorly crowd managed, expensive and somewhat underwhelming. However, the grounds were very pleasant and hiring a bike to wave our way through the extensive hrounds added to the enjoyment - quick tip: avoid going into the palace and head straight for the gardens, admiring the buildings from the outside.
