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.

Get outdoors at Île de la Cité and Ile Saint-Louis. Shop till you drop at Le Marais and Saint Germain des Pres Quarter. Get out of town with these interesting Paris side-trips: Caresse de Tigre (in La Mailleraye-sur-Seine), Palace of Versailles (in Versailles) and Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Rouen (in Rouen). And it doesn't end there: pause for some serene contemplation at Basilique du Sacre-Coeur de Montmartre, take a stroll through Montmartre, admire the striking features of Sainte-Chapelle, and admire the masterpieces at Musee d'Orsay.
