Enjoy your holidays in Paris
Paris is one the most popular short breaks destinations in the world, with tourists attracted by its iconic landmarks, world-famous institutions and luxurious parks and gardens. The city of Paris lies in a basin surrounded by hills, with the highest point being the hill of Montmartre dominated by the magnificent Sacre Coeur church. Through the centre of Paris east to west, runs the meandering River Seine. The river will serve as an anchor point during your holiday in Paris.
North of the River Seine, is the area known as Rive Droite - “right bank”- where you will be able to visit such landmarks as the Tuileries Gardens, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Champs-Elysees, Paris most famous avenue. Rive Droite is also home to Paris’ most buzzing areas: Bastille, loved by the locals for its cafes and bars, Le Marais with its chic boutiques and Les Halles, where hip youngsters and city-dwellers hang out. Rive Gauche -“left bank”- is not devoid of iconic spots either. A Paris city break would not be complete without climbing up to the top of the Eiffel Tower or a stroll around Saint-Germain des Pres, the city’s cultural hotspot.
Paris holidays to suit your mood
The chameleon-like nature of Paris is what makes it so attractive to tourists. Lovers looking for a romantic break to Paris will focus on the city itself, its gardens and architecture. Holidaymakers seeking to learn more about French culture will enjoy its many museums, with the Louvre, Rodin Museum and the advertising museums being the most famous.
Paris breaks are also recommended to foodies: gastronomy tours of the city are regularly organised and good food can be found in the city’s many gourmet shops and fancy restaurants. And world famous stores such as Galeries Lafayette, Le Bon Marche and La Samaritaine will delight fashionistas.
