WHAT TO DO

 

Paris is brimming with unique experiences. Spend a leisurely afternoon at Jardin des Luxembourg, a perfect spot for a relaxing picnic. Alternatively, grab a blanket and head to Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, where you can unwind by the lake or explore its temple on a hill with panoramic views of the city. For a more chic spot, the Jardin des Tuileries is ideal for a serene walk surrounded by sculptures and fountains. If you're looking for something off the beaten path, visit Galerie Vivienne, a hidden gem filled with boutique shops and elegant cafés, or explore the beautiful Passage des Panoramas for more quaint galleries and vintage treasures.

A trip to Paris wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the artistic Montmartre district. Wander through its charming streets, stopping by Place du Tertre, where local artists showcase their works. For a peaceful escape, head to the Musée Marmottan, a lesser-known museum with an impressive collection of Monet’s masterpieces. If you're seeking stunning views, make your way to Parc de Belleville or climb to the top of Sacré-Cœur for one of the best panoramas in the city.

For a unique twist, take a short trip out of the city to Giverny, home to Monet's beautiful gardens, where you can immerse yourself in the artist’s world. Whether you're picnicking in the park, exploring hidden galleries, or enjoying a quiet moment by the Seine, Paris is sure to offer something magical at every corner.
