Paris

​​

Paris has its icons—the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Seine at sunset, Notre-Dame—but the city’s real magic is often found in its quieter corners: a cobblestone street in Le Marais, the chatter of locals at a neighborhood café, or the smell of fresh bread drifting from a corner bakery.

 

It’s a city that lives and breathes, where bistros, brasseries, and patisseries are part of daily life, not just postcard moments.

​

Beyond Paris itself, you can step into the gardens of Versailles, sip champagne where it’s made, wander through Loire Valley castles, or walk the historic beaches of Normandy—all easy day trips that show just how close France’s many treasures are.

​

Paris is also one of the world’s best-connected cities, with direct flights from the U.S. and high-speed trains linking it to Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, and beyond in just a few hours. By train, plane, or road, Paris is the natural starting point to discover the rest of France.

​

From Paris, you can reach Europe’s highlights in just a few hours: hop on a high-speed train to Brussels in 1h30, London in 2h20 via the Eurostar, Amsterdam in 3h20, or Frankfurt in under 4 hours—perfect for short escapes beyond France.
