Audrey Hepburn said it best, "Paris is always a good idea." Rich in fashion, art, history and culture, Paris has something for everyone. The 20 arrondissements of Paris offer visitors countless opportunities to feed their soul in the city of love. From relaxing in the luxurious, peaceful gardens surrounding the Louvre to cruising down the Seine River with a glass of champagne, immersing yourself in the world-renowned museums to strolling the Champs-Élysées, Paris is an unforgettable experience with moments to treasure forever.

Things to do in Paris

Palais Garnier

Although known for its beautiful operas and ballets, you don't need to be a theater aficionado to visit! Simply touring the opera house is an experience in itself. Depending on how much time you'd like to dedicate to the experience, you can easily complete it within 1 hour.

Tuileries Garden

The Tuileries Garden is the oldest and largest garden in Paris! Adults can relax in the various chairs surrounding the fountain, while children can guide small sailboats in the beautiful fountain. The grounds are simply stunning and a wonderful place to spend a relaxing afternoon.

Vintage Car Tour

What better way to see the historical monuments than in a vintage Parisian car?! You can hire a guide who speaks either English or French and they will drive you throughout the city where you can easily view, or stop by if there is time, all of the sites that make Paris a breathtaking city.

The Seine River

The Seine River offers various cruises throughout the day, but a can't miss is a champagne tasting. A sommelier onboard will educate you on French champagne as you cruise down the Seine River past the twinkling Eiffel Tower. A can't miss!

Can't Miss Restaurants/Bars

Perruche Paris

Perched on the top floor of the Printemps Haussmann, this restaurant features stunning views of the city with the Eiffel Tower in the background.

Le Procope

This is the oldest cafe in Paris, dating back 330 years, and is a wonderful restaurant for dinner. You can even find Napoleon Bonaparte's hat, which he was made to leave as security!

Restaurant Coco

Situated inside the Opéra Garnier, the vibe is unlike anything, drinks are wonderful and the food is top notch!

The Hemingway Bar

An absolute can't miss, this famous bar is located inside the famous Ritz Paris. Due to its small size, there is often a line outside, so be prepared to wait. It is beyond well worth it, though.

LouLou Paris

If you're looking for a chic and elegant night out, this is your spot. The food is out of this world, the staff is incredible and if you're lucky, you can catch a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower through its various windows.
