Whether you go for a long holiday or weekend getaway to Paris, you’ll understand in no time why it’s the most visited city in the world. The City of Light is a delightful combination of awe-inspiring landmarks, and chic shopping and dining – a cultural mecca for any world traveller. Cheap flights to Paris are easy to come by, and the trip across the Atlantic guarantees both sophistication and fun for couples, families and solo travellers alike. Fly into either Paris-Charles de Gaulle or Paris Orly and immediately put on your most comfortable – and most fashionable – walking shoes. Stroll the massive Avenue de Champs-Élysées and, once you’ve had your fill of luxury shops, treat yourself to a café au lait outside a charming café. Continue down the main thoroughfare to Place de la Concorde for spectacular views of Paris’s most famous sites: the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and Palais Garnier.
Between croissants and baguettes, explore Paris’s world-renowned art museums. Admire more than 400,000 works of astonishing art at the Louvre before heading across the Seine to see Monet’s water lilies and Degas’s ballerinas up close. If modern art piques your interest, consider instead the Centre Georges Pompidou before wandering the intricate streets of Le Marais. Take time for more shopping – and obviously more eating – in arguably the quaintest area of the French capital. Grab drinks in Pigalle and pass by Moulin Rouge on your way uphill to Sacré Coeur at the top of Montmartre, a charming neighbourhood packed with tasty cafés and talented artists. It’s understandable if after a day, you need a break. Take the train just outside of the city to Versailles and peruse its majestic chambers and meticulous gardens. Se magnifique! A cheap flight to Paris is all that’s separating you from this intoxicating city – why wait?
