Flights to Paris (CDG)

An iconic city, Paris is brimming with famous landmarks and heralded across the world for its incomparable culture and food scene.

The setting for countless novels and films, France’s capital is a romantic escape where stunning views, charming neighbourhoods and magnificent architecture becomes the norm.

The Eiffel Tower is the dazzling centrepiece of Parisian culture, and this staggering feat of engineering is a beacon that can be seen from across the city. Ascend 276m to the highest observation deck for breathtaking panoramic views, or find a spot in the Champ de Mars park to watch the tower’s mesmerising golden lights sparkle when night falls.

Take in the Eiffel Tower and other key landmarks from an alternative angle with an enchanting cruise on the River Seine. Floating along this famous waterway whilst enjoying an exquisite dining experience is an unforgettable way to spend an evening.

The Louvre is also among Paris’ most esteemed attractions. Enter this glorious museum through its famous pyramid entrance and see priceless collections of art including the legendary Mona Lisa. The Musée d'Orsay is another illustrious museum, housing artwork by Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet.

Perhaps the most symbolic of Paris’ architectural marvels is the Notre Dame, a colossal cathedral that stands on an island in the River Seine. Tour this striking Gothic structure and learn about the major historical events that have taken place within its walls.

No trip to Paris is complete without a journey down the Champs-Elysées, one of the world’s most beautiful tree-lined avenues flanked with chic restaurants, shops and boutiques – and the site of the Tour de France’s final stage. At the western end of this glorious boulevard is the Arc de Triomphe, a majestic arch built on the orders of Napoleon I.

Elsewhere, the pristine flowerbeds of the Jardin du Luxembourg offer an escape from the city bustle, while Montmartre is an authentically charming village-like district crowned by the jaw-dropping Sacré-Coeur Basilica.

Paris is a brilliant city to visit all year round, but one big event draws sports fans in summer. Time your visit for Roland Garros and watch the stars in action at the premier clay tennis tournament.

There are few cities, if any, with more distinguished and varied dining experiences than Paris. World-class restaurants serving irresistible international dishes are widespread, but trying the best of Parisian food is a must. Melt-in-the-mouth croissants are served at bakeries across the city, tender steak frites appear on most menus and delectable local cheese boards make for a heavenly after-dinner snack.
