Paris Vacations

Nowhere else but Paris

For a longer vacation, extend your trip to Brussels, or visit the Loire valley and its enchanting chateaus. For castles of a different kind, spend family vacations in Disneyland^® Paris. It’s just a short shuttle north to Sleeping Beauty Castle and all your favourite characters. Culture, glamour, excitement and romance fill every day of your stay when you come to this city. Book flights to Paris, a magical vacation awaits.

Paris – Barcelona

Casa Batllo and Amatller. Two famous buildings in Barcelona, Spain.

Fall in love with romantic Paris. Take a gentle boat cruise along the Seine or a stroll down the famous Champs Élysées. Immerse yourself in its world-renowned art and culinary scene. Or simply watch the world go by over coffee and croissants at a pavement café. Then travel by car or train to historic Rome. Marvel at the magnificent Colosseum and Sistene Chapel. Shop until you drop and let Rome’s restaurants awaken your taste buds.

Paris – Amsterdam

If you loved the Impressionists on the top floor of Paris’s Musée D’Orsay, then you’ll love twinning it with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Paris is massive, Amsterdam comparitively small, but you’ll find that the Dutch capital stands up to the French. It’s very easy to reach Amsterdam from Paris. A direct high speed train connects the two capitals, taking roughly three and a half hours. Trains run multiple times a day from Gare du Nord. Alternatively, you can drive in roughly five-and-a-half hours.

Paris – Nice

Holiday like a Parisian – by staying in France, just like the French do. Combine a city break in Paris with a beachy one on the Cote d’Azur. Nice, the biggest city in the area, is six hours away by train from Gare de Lyon in Paris. In just half a day you can be sipping a chilled Provencal rose on a terrace overlooking the warm Mediterranean sea. While you’re at it, take a stroll on Nice’s famed Promenade des Anglaise and hop along the coast to Monaco, Cannes or Antibes.

Paris – Rome

If you’re ‘doing’ Europe, then Paris and Rome are two of the continent’s truly unmissable capitals. Paris has the Louvre but Rome has the Colosseum and the Capitoline, and between the two you can see some of the best-preserved treasures of the ancient world. You could fly in a couple of hours, drive over a couple of days, or take the train to Italy from Paris’s Gare de Lyon – connecting in Milan or Torino for onward travel to Rome.

Central Paris

You can pinpoint the exact centre of Paris. It’s called ‘Kilometre Zero’ and it’s right in front of Notre Dame, the city’s 750-year old gothic cathedral. The city’s 20 ‘arondissments’, or areas, fan out from here in numerical order. Unsurprisingly, some big sights are in the First Arondissment: including the Louvre, which occupies an enormous building behind the Tuileries. This area feels like one of Paris’s grandest addresses, thanks especially to broad boulevards lined with smart, Haussmann-style buildings. Stay at the Little Palace, a boutique hotel on a leafy square on the edge of the 3rd arrondissement.

Champs-Élysées and Arc de Triomphe

Champs-Élysées is the most famous street in Paris. Prime real estate, the road is lined with fancy hotels, chain stores, high-end brands and late-night venues – look out for the Louis Vuitton flagship by day and the Lido de Paris by night. It’s a broad avenue that’s always busy and it runs from Place de Concord, through a smart park, and then past a multitude of chain shops all the way up to the Arc de Triomph. This enormous arch honours war heroes, and you can climb it for views of Paris day or night. Want to stay here? The luxurious Four Seasons George V hotel is one of the most famous hotels in the area.

Montmartre

Once upon a time, Montmartre was a rural hill beyond the bounds of the city. Later it became an inexpensive quarter where artists like Modigliani, Mondrian, Degas and Van Gogh could have their studios. Now the area is trendy, with many people coming to climb the steep hill up to Sacre Coeur, Paris’s best-placed church, then mooching around the little shops in the cobbled side streets or visiting the small museum dedicated to Salvador Dalí. At the bottom of the hill, near Pigalle, the Moulin Rouge hosts can-can cabaret shows, which certainly keep things interesting.

Left Bank

To visit the Eiffel Tower, you need to cross over the river. Traditionally, the Left Bank of the Seine was the artistic side of Paris. It’s still the place to come for some of the city’s best art museums: Musée d'Orsay, Musée Rodin and Musée National du Moyen Âge are all in the area. Montparnasse, with its enormous tower, has one of the best views of Paris from its observation deck, whilst the Jardin de Luxembourg, and the little streets around it, are some of the best places to wander. The people who love this area really love it. If you want to stay here, try the cosy Hotel Baume on the Left Bank. Plaza Tour Eiffel is actually on the other side of the river, but this convenient hotel looks right out over the famous ‘Iron Lady’ herself.

Eastern Paris

Hipsters, make a beeline here. Les Marais, once encompassing Paris’s Jewish quarter, is a great place for falafel and boutique-ey shops, whilst the Canal Saint Martin has a lovely, relaxed waterside café culture. The winding Marais streets eventually break out into Bastille: a huge square where the city’s modern opera sits. Paris has a few cemeteries and catacombs, but one – Père Lachaise Cemetery – gets the most visitors of any cemetery in the world. Many of its tombs only need one-word introductions: Balzac, Wilde, Colette and Proust are all buried here.
