Destination of the month - Paris


Navigating the wonders of this marvellous metropolis can be a bit overwhelming, but fear not - we're here to guide you.

Paris, the city of love, boasts an abundance of activities that might leave you wondering where to start. Unlike its neighbouring cities, Paris sprawls expansively, with each district narrating a unique tale. No matter what you decide to explore, there are certain experiences that you simply can't afford to miss.
 

1. Stroll down the Champs-Élysées

Sure, it's a bit touristy, but trust us, it's a must. This iconic avenue, stretching from Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, is one of the most renowned streets globally. Take in the allure of the luxurious storefronts, and hey, why not indulge in some shopping while you're at it? Contrary to popular belief, not every purchase along this famous boulevard will break the bank.
 

2. See the Eiffel Tour at night 

Escape  the usual daytime hustle on the Eiffel Tower's southern-pillar staircase or elevator ride to the top-floor champagne bar and opt for a more magical experience by witnessing Paris' iconic spire after sunset.
 

3. Take a closer peek at the Arc de Triomphe


 

Enjoy one of the finest panoramic views of Paris from the top of this monumental arch. Gaze down the Champs-Élysées towards the Louvre, admire the cityscape reaching La Defense, and catch sight of the Eiffel Tower against the rooftops.?

 

4. Explore Île de la Cité


 

Discover the charm of this petite island nestled in the heart of Paris, housing the treasures of Sainte-Chapelle and Notre Dame. It stands as the historical nucleus of the city, waiting to be explored.

 

5. Visit The Louvre, a global magnet for art enthusiasts


 

With an astonishing annual footfall of over 10 million visitors, The Louvre Museum claims its title as the world's most frequented museum. Situated in the renowned "Royal Paris" of the 1st arrondissement, it stands as a premier attraction.
 

6. Wander through Montmartre


 

Take a leisurely stroll past the charming cafes and cabarets of this neighbourhood, conjuring up images of the artists, musicians, and writers who once called it home over a century ago when rents were a bargain. The highlight of the area is the dazzling white Basilica of Sacré-Cœur, an embodiment of Italian Byzantine architecture, casting its presence across most vantage points in Paris.
 

7. Spoil yourself with a night out in the world of cabaret at the Moulin Rouge


 

If you're seeking an evening filled with excitement, why not indulge in the world's most renowned cabaret? It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so don't hesitate to dive in.
 

8. Traverse the Pont Neuf, Paris' oldest bridge 


 

Connecting the Right Bank to Île de la Cité, this historic bridge offers a splendid view of the Seine River, the subsequent Pont des Arts, and a distant glimpse of the iconic Eiffel Tower.
 

9. Explore The Galeries Lafayette, an elegant French department store


 

Even if shopping isn't on your agenda, a brief visit is well worth it. The interior is adorned with a vibrant stained-glass ceiling and intricately decorated balconies. Head to the rooftop for complimentary breathtaking panoramic views of Paris.
 

10. Take a day trip to Versailles Palace
