Indulge in the epitome of glamour with a holiday to Paris – a city that effortlessly blends iconic shopping on the Champs Élysées, cocktails with a view of the Eiffel Tower, and exquisite gourmet dinners in traditional brasseries.
The City of Lights – and Sights
Paris stands unmatched in cultural richness, boasting countless museums, monuments, and gardens that ensure each visit is a unique experience. Encounter the captivating Mona Lisa at the Louvre, savour the serenity of Champ de Mars park while witnessing the Eiffel Tower's nightly sparkle, or explore the artistic haven of Montmartre, where art shopping, outdoor café lounging, and Moulin Rouge cabaret shows await.
Navigating the City
Surprisingly compact for its wealth of attractions, Paris invites leisurely exploration. A stroll from the Arc de Triomphe to the eastern outskirts takes just a couple of hours. Begin at the Arc de Triomphe, meander along the pedestrianized Champs Élysées, pass through the Tuileries Gardens, and reach the Louvre Museum. Alternatively, Seine hop-on-hop-off boats offer a scenic route, while Vélib’ bike stations at every turn facilitate effortless two-wheeled exploration.
Year-Round Festivals
Paris pulsates with events throughout the year. Bastille Day in July features a Champs Élysées parade and Eiffel Tower fireworks to celebrate France's independence. May's Nuit des Musées sees museums open all night for free, while June's Fête de la Musique fills the streets with melodies from open-air concerts.
Beyond City Limits
A mere 40-minute train ride leads to Disneyland Paris, an iconic destination for all ages. A bit farther away, Parc Asterix offers family-friendly shows and rides. For an adult-oriented theme, explore nearby palaces. The Château de Versailles, with its famed Hall of Mirrors, provides an opulent experience, while the Château de Vaux-Le-Vicomte offers romantic, candlelit dinners in meticulously manicured gardens.
