Best time to visit: April-October
Go for this: Paris is a heaven for all things delightful – fashion, art, cuisine, and culture. Every landmark and monument is a repository of incredible beauty and history — from the Louvre (home to Leonardo’s Mona Lisa) to the Musée d’Orsay (housing the finest collection of Impressionist paintings anywhere) to the Sainte Chapelle (with its awe-inspiring 13th-century stained glass). Be sure to leave time for shopping along Rue Saint-Honoré, and don’t forget to dine at one of the city’s 70 Michelin-starred restaurants.
But try this: A private scenic boat cruise down the most picturesque waterway in the world, the Seine river. As you sip a glass of champagne, discover the most beautiful monuments and bridges in Paris, illuminated against the evening sky — an amazing and unforgettable experience!
Favorite guest experience: Saint Germain Food Tour. Taste your way around the historic streets of Saint Germain des Prés with a local food expert, as you savor quintessential French specialties – everything from wine & cheeses to croissants to delicious chocolate bonbons. While exploring the ancient streets of Saint Germain, you’ll be steeped in the history of the neighborhood. Spot the oldest café in Paris (built in 1686), step into one of the city’s oldest churches, and discover the rich gastronomic history of the quarter.
Favorite hotel: Relais Christine, an elegant boutique hotel with a serene spirit, tucked away on a quiet street in the city’s Latin Quarter. Its individually designed rooms blend vintage glamour with splashes of contemporary style.
Favorite restaurant: Le Richer, a chic café-restaurant in the 9th arrondissement, popular with the locals. Pick a table by the window towards the back and watch Parisian life go by as you dine on elegant steamed hake with beetroot purée and horseradish, followed by a chocolate and hazelnut dacquoise.
Foods:
- Entrecôte Frites (steak)
- Moules Frites (mussels)
- Île Flotante (“floating island” dessert)
- Bistro food such as Croque Monsieur and Saint Honoré Cake
- Macarons
