6 days in Paris Itinerary

A beautiful and romantic city fit for any itinerary, Paris brims with historic associations and remains vastly influential in the realms of culture, art, fashion, food and design.

Take a break from the city and head to Île de la Cité and La Hotte du Diable. Head to Saint Germain des Pres Quarter and Le Maraisfor some retail therapy. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Paris: Chartres Cathedral (in Chartres), L'Eure de l'Ulm (in Saint-Aquilin-de-Pacy) and Les Delices Fromagers (in Milly-la-Foret). There's still lots to do: do a tasting at Champagne Tarlant, stroll the grounds of Aisne-Marne Memorial & Cemetery, look for all kinds of wild species at Arboretum des Grandes Bruyeres, and step off the mainland to explore Ile Saint-Louis.
