Six top tips for a fantastic weekend in Paris
1 – We loved to explore Paris on foot. You see more of the city and get a better feel for the “real” Paris so definitely pack a comfortable pair of shoes.
2 – Try a Jambon Beurre which is a delicious ham sandwich with butter & I quite like mine with some cornichons – oh my goodness its so good and you’ll find one in most sandwich shops
3 – All Parisian museums and visitor attractions are free on the first Sunday of every month. Arrive early though as you’ll find it very busy.
4 – Pack a picnic. There are many beautiful parks and gardens in the city centre so get to a deli for meats and cheeses and a bakery for some bread and you’ve got the makings of a fabulous picnic
5 – Explore Paris by bike. Dotted round the city are shared bikes you can pick up and leave wherever you like. There are day and week passes you can buy and the bikes are widely accessible around the city.
6 – Getting out of the city. A 30 min train ride will get you to Disneyland Paris, The Palace of Versailles or The flea market of Saint Ouen. All of which are definitely worth a visit.
