Paris is a city that needs no introduction.  Its reputation as a centre for style, fashion and the arts is world-famous.  Its attractions are iconic and yet, if you’ve never been, you have missed something.

The city itself is like an intoxicating perfume, one that will envelope you from the moment you arrive and linger on long after you have left.

Walk along the banks for the Seine and breath in everything that inspired Victor Hugo’s great works such as Les Miserables and Notre Dame de Paris.  The cathedral itself is breathtaking; admission to the main hall is free and visitors can also attend Mass for a small fee.  Queues for the Towers are long in summer time, so come between October and March if you prefer a quieter visit.  Whatever time of year you visit, though, the views across the city are spectacular.

Out of the city, a short train ride southwest will take you to Saint-Maur-des-Fosses, an affluent suburb of Paris that was once home to Alexander Dumas and Victor Hugo.

No visit to Paris is complete without a trip up the Eiffel Tower; make sure you take in the views across the city at night for a truly memorable experience.
