Top Paris Attractions

With so much to do and see in the capital of romance, it is always wise to plan your weekend break in Paris before you go. If it is your first Paris city break you may want to book a Cresta city tour to get acquainted with this beautiful city and get your bearings!

Paris city breaks are, of course, full of some of the world's most recognisable sights; the Sacre Couer and the Arc De Triomphe to name but two. You may not want to miss these highlights, but be aware that Paris isn't simply a city of monuments and museums. It has a vibrant heart and while the tourist haunts are not to be missed, it is behind the famous streets and tourist traps that Paris short breaks really have something special to offer, presenting a whole new experience to those visitors willing to take a break which doesn't always tread the same tourist paths. 

Apart from sightseeing, Paris museums are a must to see during your short break. Why not start with the Musée d'Orsay and the Louvre, then visit the Orangerie in the Tuileries Gardens and view Monet's Water Lilies in all their splendour.

Take time during your Paris city break to stroll around and really get to know the city's personality. From the cobbled squares of the various arrondissements, to the tree-lined grand avenues by the Arc de Triomphe, Montparnasse and the Marais, Paris is a wonderful place to walk, during which time you are guaranteed to fall in love! 

If spending your weekend break in Paris walking doesn't interest you there are plenty of transport options; Paris Métro, RER and bus services provide great value way to see the city.

Café Chic & City Breaks

Paris has one of the world's best café societies; the Café de la Paix by the Opéra is one of the most famous but intimate, beautiful cafes exist all over the city. Taking short breaks in the food capital of the world, you can be sure that exceptional restaurants, intimate bistros and grand brasseries aren't hard to find. For many years Parisian cuisine has been influenced by exotic tastes from all over the world, which now lends the city a sublime contemporary cuisine.

Shopping

It is well known that when it comes to shopping, Paris is second to none, but it is the trendy hidden boutiques of the Marais with its appealing mix of chic interior design and original jewellery, and the weekend flea market at Clignancourt that offer a real fun shopping experience! If designer labels are more your style, visit the rue du Faubourg St Honore and boulevard St Germain, and try up rue Etienne Marcel for up and coming styles.
