Ciao, paris

Few cities match the iconic status that Paris holds in the imagination of travellers. In fashion, gastronomy, and the arts, she is queen. As you wander through the different quartiers of the City of Light, her moods shift from gritty to sophisticated, from haute couture to underground. There is always something new to discover here beyond the legendary sights and museums. Paris has a way of getting under your skin, feeling instantly familiar as you lose yourself in her hypnotic streets and linger at her cafés.

Louvre Museum

The Louvre is one of the world’s biggest museums and home to some of the most famous artworks you’ll ever see — think the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo, alongside pieces by Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Caravaggio. Its glass pyramid entrance is instantly recognisable. Inside, you’ll find around 35,000 paintings, sculptures, and objects, covering everything from ancient civilisations to 19th-century art.

Arc de Triomphe

The Arc de Triomphe, commissioned by Napoleon after his win at Austerlitz in 1806, took about 30 years to finish and was finally opened in 1836. Standing 50 metres tall, it sits at the centre of Place Charles de Gaulle, right at the western end of the famous Champs-Élysées. You’ll probably find yourself there at some point, as most visitors wander down this iconic avenue. The monument honours those who fought and died for France during the Revolution and Napoleonic Wars. Beneath it rests the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.

The River Seine

The Seine cuts through the heart of Paris, and seeing the city from the water is one of the easiest ways to take in its big-name sights — from the Eiffel Tower to Notre-Dame. A veritable Parisian institution since 1949, the Compagnie des Bateaux Mouches® runs cruises year-round, with most following a similar route and offering multilingual commentary. Whether you go for a daytime ride or a nighttime cruise when the bridges and monuments are lit up, it’s a relaxing way to see the city from a different angle.

Seine River Cruise

Boat cruises on the Seine embark at the foot of the Eiffel Tower and take you through the heart of Paris, where you can admire the prestigious monuments and landmarks of the city and the stunning architecture from bridge to bridge and bank to bank. To learn history along the way, plug in your audio guide and choose your language. Come back at night for another tour, and it will be a different Paris before your eyes, yet just as magical.
