Paris

Lets face it, when it comes to style, cuisine and wine – the French do it well! With world-class fashion and theatre, an unrivalled music and clubbing scene, and an eclectic array of restaurant and bar choices, this is a city built on historical grandeur and everything chic!

Nowhere do all the romantic cliches play more strongly than Paris – the city of lights and of a thousand whispers. Like an impossibly beautiful woman who’s placed on a pedestal, the sheer beauty of Paris can be overwhelming at first glance. But don’t let the glittering facade fool you!

Look beyond the heartbreaking beauty and you’ll find a charming and disarmingly normal city, and people who aren’t only friendly, but also curious about you (where you come from, your views on politics and so on)! It does take a bit of an attitude adjustment though. But just give the city a chance – not every Parisian is a snob! Just know, it certainly helps to arm yourself with at least a “bonjour” in their language.

In Paris, its far better to experience the city, than to just look at it. Of course, the Louvre, Pompidou, Musee D’Orsay, the Opera, Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower are unparalleled. But the city is far beyond the shadows of impressive monuments and grand boulevards. So, skip the endless museum hopping for a day, find your spot in one of the numerous cafes, and watch the world go by.
