A brief introduction to Paris

World famous artistic masterpieces, elegant architecture, and incredible dining experiences await those who visit the romantic city of Paris.

Begin your journey by visiting Paris’ most iconic landmark - the Eiffel Tower. While here, be sure to go to the top of the tower to enjoy breathtakingly scenic views of the city. You can also enjoy an idyllic picnic at the foot of the tower.

The city’s cobblestone streets further add to the charm and romance, and are definitely worth exploring, especially in the Montmartre neighbourhood as it is famed for its trendy boutiques and quaint local bookshops.

Many intriguing art museums can be found all over Paris, with the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay being among the most popular. Be sure to marvel at masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and Van Gogh’s Self Portrait. From there, you can explore the historical side of the city by visiting notable landmarks such as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Triomphe and climb the steps of the magnificent Sacré-Coeur.

The ‘City of Lights’ is also renowned for being a culinary haven as it is home to numerous bistros and fine dining restaurants serving up a diverse array of delicacies. Food enthusiasts should visit one of the many high-end restaurants dotted around the city, especially considering that 10 have been awarded 3 Michelin stars.

To enjoy a day of rest and relaxation, head to the Luxembourg Gardens situated on the border between Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the Latin Quarter. Created by Queen Marie de Medici in 1612, the lush, verdant area was formerly only open to royalty. While here, we recommend visiting the beautiful orchard and marveling at the 106 statues spread throughout the park.
