Paris is, according to most people, the city of love, culture, sophisticated food and fashion, but France’s capital can’t be reduced to these stereotypes. There are thousands of reasons to go there but, Eiffel tower aside, we set ourselves the difficult task of picking just 5 to tempt you to visit the City of Light.
#1
Trace Amelie Poulain’s footsteps and create your own story by carrying out your own good deeds along the way.
#2
Take the time to wander through the Marais district with its small village feel and unique, charming boutiques, and see a gentler side to France’s throbbing capital city.
#3
Paris by night is undisputably one of the most beautiful cities in the world; see the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and the Champs Elysee as you’ve never seen them before.
#4
Climb up the steps of Montmartre to the Sacre Coeur and discover the old artists’ district. Ignore the caricaturists and instead get your silhouette cut out for a couple of euros. Much more original.
#5
The rumours are true: the waiters are some of the rudest in the world, and the food is some of the best. It’s worth putting up with the waiters to sample the food.
