About Paris
Paris is divided into 20 arrondissements, each with its own character — from the grand boulevards of the 8th to the canal-side cafe culture of the 10th and Montmartre's village atmosphere in the 18th. The core tourist circuit connects the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre (world's most visited museum), the Musee d'Orsay's Impressionist collection, and Notre-Dame, which reopened in 2024 after the 2019 fire. The Marais district combines medieval street plan with the Place des Vosges — the city's oldest planned square — and a dense concentration of independent galleries and concept stores where Parisians actually shop. Versailles is 40 minutes by RER and worth the half-day for the gardens alone; the palace interior is best seen on a weekday morning before group tours arrive. Three airports serve Paris: CDG to the northeast handles most long-haul and European traffic; Orly (ORY) to the south covers domestic, North African, and some European routes at often sharper prices than CDG. For short-haul to Spain, Portugal, or North Africa, Orly consistently undercuts CDG by €20-40 on overlapping routes — always worth comparing both before booking. Spring (April-May) and early autumn (September-October) give the most comfortable temperatures and manageable crowds.
Where to stay in Paris
How the main neighbourhoods compare, based on trip type.
- Le Marais (3e / 4e)Best for first visit
Central, walkable, and close to the major museums without being as relentless as the 1st arrondissement around the Louvre. The Place des Vosges is five minutes from most addresses in the Marais, and the Pompidou Centre is at the western edge. Strong metro coverage means the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre, and Musée d'Orsay are each under 20 minutes away. Works well for 2-3 night stays where you want most things on foot.
Metro: Lines 1, 8 (Saint-Paul, Chemin Vert) · Airport: Around 45-50 min by RER B to Châtelet from CDG · Lively evenings, historic architecture, central
- Saint-Germain-des-Prés (6e)Best for longer stays
The Left Bank's most established literary and café district. Quieter than central Paris in the evenings, but with excellent access to the Luxembourg Gardens (5 minutes), the Musée d'Orsay (15 minutes on foot), and the Latin Quarter. The neighbourhood is expensive but consistently comfortable - most streets are calm at night, and the covered market Rue de Buci provides a reliable morning routine. Best for stays of 4 or more nights when neighbourhood texture matters as much as sightseeing.
Metro: Line 4 (Saint-Germain-des-Prés) · Airport: Around 50-60 min by RER B + metro from CDG · Calm, upscale, literary
- Bastille / Oberkampf (11e)Best for nightlife
