The best hotels in Paris, France

Paris: a city break with a side of croissants

Paris. You’ve heard of it. The place with the tower, the museum, and that bread people carry under their arms like a fashion statement. Thinking of visiting? Could be a good idea.

The Louvre is here. Yes, the one with the Mona Lisa. No, she’s not as big as you think. Then there’s the Eiffel Tower, which was put up in 1889 and was supposed to be temporary. Someone clearly forgot to take it down. Montmartre? It’s got winding streets that seem to lead everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Follow them, and you’ll end up at Place du Tertre, where artists sketch tourists and hope they’ll pay more than five euros. Feeling hungry? Markets like Rue Mouffetard serve up Parisian food that’s somehow both simple and expensive.

At night, things shift. The Seine reflects the city lights, and the bridges look like they belong in a movie. Maybe they do. You’ll find people strolling, sitting, or just staring at the water like it holds the answers to life. It doesn’t. But it’s a good place to think.

Paris isn’t just another city break. It’s a place where history, food, and questionable parking decisions exist side by side. You might leave with a suitcase full of souvenirs—or just with a lot of photos of the Eiffel Tower from slightly different angles.
