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.

A big big city with lots of great and beautiful things and some ugly and bad things. Choice of vegan food is fairly limited - even fast food chains which have vegan food in our country (and globally) did not have it in Paris. Favourite places: Eiffel tower, Louvre, Seine, Versailles, Arc de Triomphe, Champs D'Elysees. Ate in rented flat, vegan fast foods and Thai/Vietnamese restaurant. Avoid tourist traps - they are everywhere and they are very expensive!

The city is very pretty but the long queues everywhere and the high prices made it a bit difficult to enjoy it to the fullest. For me personally Paris is best to go to some museums about art (Louvre mostly for its art and very specific statues) and some wine and bites in the evening.

Best to book tickets to major attractions beforehand so avoid queues. Its difficult to visit more than 3 or 4 attractions per day if you plan to see galleries and the like. Get the paris museum pass if you plan to see galleries, museums, versailles, etc. For transport you can buy a navigo pass at most stations, and get it for zones 1-3 as most major attractions are located within them. For versailles you can just travel to the end of zone 3 and get just a short ticket from there to versailles, as it will be cheaper than taking the train from city center. In less touristy areas they dont speak english so it will be a bit difficult. Souvenirs from tour eiffel are expensive, better get them from around notre dame area. City is very clean, well indicated and easy to get around.

April 16, 2024
I haven't been in Paris for a long while so my family went to all the usual touristy places....which were fine. But Paris is messy, crowded and cruel with robberies, pick pockets, graffiti, and unpoliced areas. Garbage from overflowing garbage cans everywhere!! I would not return again but rather go to wine areas or historic areas way outside of Paris. You have to use the metro or trains to get around....that was fine, but the level of protection needed from all the young kids making a living of picking pockets and gangs of adults bumping into you to detect open pockets was alarming and disturbing...especially hearing that this activity is permitted in Paris as long as the passports are somehow returned. Disgraceful...and we saw kids....KIDS...handing passports over to ticket agents in the metro and then just walking away laughing. My advice.....zip up everything you have and don't wear any jewelry. Keep everything in the front of you ....NOTHING in the back pockets. Otherwise a lot of the sights were pretty nice...LOTS and LOTS of walking which we expected. We were there in mid March.

Traveling on the Metro was fun and easy, and it travels to all of the most significant Tourist Sites. The Hop on- Hop off Busses and Boats are an excellent way to get an overall view of the city. Check out speciality tours, ie. Black Paris for an in depth history of African Americans in Paris and/or Walking Tours of different areas.

April 13, 2024
This was my 3rd trip to Paris and I still love it, but it was expensive, and there were so many tourists, even though I deliberately came in the off season (it was spring, but early April, not yet the summer season). I always find it amazing to see so many iconic and historical sites. I was able to see the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral exactly 3 years after the devastating fire, and it was humbling and hope-inspiring to see how much work had already taken place to restore this landmark. The photo exhibition was well done, and gave people a way of connecting with the story. It is always thrilling to see the Eiffel Tower, and as I was with a friend who'd never been to Paris, (and we were both coping with some health issues) we decided to do an open top bus tour, and this was a great way of seeing all the important, iconic sites without walking for miles, or trying to get on and off Metro trains and buses, but it is not for everyone, and you really need to get into the narrow lanes and walk away from the tourist attractions to find some great cafes, bars and places to enjoy a reasonably priced meal. Do hydrate!! Always hydrate! Paris water is very safe! If you plan to visit any of the galleries and museums do book tickets in advance, and don't try to do 6 hour days, basically 2 1/2 to 3 hours will be enough at one time, then you need to get outside and get some fresh air! Restaurants and cafes in museums tend to be very expensive and there are often queues for them.
