Holidays in Paris

 

An introduction to Paris

You don't simply go on holidays to Paris – you start a romance that lasts for life. Fall under the spell of the city on the Seine.

The capital of France goes by so many names, it's hard to keep track. The City of Light, of Romance, of Fashion – all of which are conjured up by that little five letter word. Paris holidays aren't just premier league – they set the standard for city breaks across the globe.

Start the day with an oven-fresh croissant and smooth black coffee in a little corner café. Then it's on to those Parisian icons – the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame. Or perhaps a promenade down the Champs-Élysees for big name shopping and an ice-cream in the park. Followed up by a stroll through the Place de Concorde before spending serious sums in the label-lined Avenue Montaigne.

Thinking less haute couture and more high culture? The Louvre it is. Home to the Mona Lisa and countless other masterpieces, this is the crème-de-la-crème of the art world. Like your museums less monumental? Check out the quirky Pompidou Centre or the enchantingly intimate Rodin museum. As for the evenings, take your pick from art-house cinema to classical concerts, cutting-edge theatre to can-can and cabaret.

Travel to Paris isn't complete without treating your tastebuds. Lively bistros line the Latin Quarter. A mini-maze of restaurants hide behind the stunning Sacre-Coeur in Montmatre. And state-of-the-art patisseries pepper the whole city. If the charms of this aristocratic city haven't won you over already, the cuisine most certainly will. Holidays in Paris – prepare to fall in love.
