About Paris

Paris works for two nights or five. Staying central (the Marais, Saint-Germain or near the Louvre) means walking to most things and keeping the Metro for the rest.

Flights land at Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly (ORY). The Eurostar from London St Pancras is the other way in.

Worth seeing

• The Eiffel Tower
• The Louvre and Musée d’Orsay
• Montmartre
• A Seine river cruise
• Versailles as a day trip
