Paris
Paris pairs its museums and river cruises with private transfers and ticketed excursions, quoted plainly in Arabic or English before you commit.
Step out of your hotel in Paris on a clear morning and the city arrives all at once: the smell of butter and warm flour from the boulangerie, the clatter of café chairs being set out on the pavement, cream-coloured Haussmann façades with wrought-iron balconies, and somewhere down the street a glimpse of the Seine catching the light. A newspaper kiosk opens, a waiter wipes a marble table, and the first espresso of the day is poured.

Paris at first sight
Paris is the stage on which France has written its story, from medieval Notre-Dame to the royal Louvre, the Revolution’s squares and the iron daring of the Eiffel Tower. It is the country’s capital of art, fashion, gastronomy and ideas, and the natural starting point for any journey through France, with high-speed trains fanning out to Provence, the Riviera and beyond.
Why include Paris in your itinerary?
- No other city holds so much of the world’s art within walking distance: the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay’s Impressionists, Monet’s water lilies at the Orangerie, Rodin’s sculpture garden and the bold modern collections of the Centre Pompidou.
- Paris turned everyday eating into an art form. Flaky croissants, crusty baguettes, cheese shops, chocolate makers, pâtisseries and neighbourhood markets mean that even a simple walk becomes a delicious tasting of French craftsmanship.
- The city is built for strolling. Its boulevards, riverside quays, covered passages and grand parks such as the Luxembourg and Tuileries gardens reward walkers with monuments, bookstalls and views at every turn.
Signature experiences in Paris
The Eiffel Tower and the Seine
Gustave Eiffel’s iron tower, built for the 1889 World’s Fair, is still the city’s great symbol. Ride up to the summit for views across the rooftops, then glide along the Seine past the Louvre, Notre-Dame and the Musée d’Orsay on a river cruise as the lights come on. We issue timed attraction tickets and can combine them with a guided day tour, so you skip uncertainty and enjoy each landmark with context.
Markets, Pâtisseries and French Food Culture
Taste Paris through its food. Start at a neighbourhood market such as Rue Cler or the Marché d’Aligre, with cheeses, fruit and roast chickens, then visit a master baker, a chocolatier and a pâtisserie for macarons and éclairs. Lunch might be a classic bistro dish of onion soup or steak frites. Our guided day tours, run with trusted local partners, reveal the stories behind every bite and the shops Parisians truly love.
Montmartre and the Latin Quarter
Wander Montmartre’s cobbled lanes, where painters still set up easels on Place du Tertre beneath the white domes of Sacré-Cœur. Then cross the river to the Latin Quarter, with the Sorbonne, the Panthéon, old bookshops and the Luxembourg Gardens. A guided day tour with our licensed partners brings the artists, writers and revolutionaries who lived here vividly to life, and points out the quiet corners most visitors walk straight past.
Versailles and Giverny
Just outside Paris lies the Palace of Versailles, with its Hall of Mirrors, royal apartments and endless formal gardens and fountains. Another favourite day out is Giverny, where Claude Monet painted his water-lily pond and Japanese bridge. Our guided day tours include entry tickets and private or small-group transport, making these excursions smooth even in busy seasons, with a licensed guide who knows exactly when the queues are shortest.
Mont-Saint-Michel and the Loire Valley
For a longer adventure, our day tours and multi-day packages reach Mont-Saint-Michel, the medieval abbey rising from tidal sands in Normandy, or the Renaissance châteaux of the Loire Valley, such as Chambord and Chenonceau. We also issue high-speed train tickets and flight tickets, so Paris becomes the hub for exploring the rest of France, with hotels, transport and guides all coordinated by our team and trusted local partners.
Neighbourhoods and quarters to know in Paris
Le Marais
One of the oldest quarters in Paris, Le Marais mixes grand seventeenth-century mansions with boutiques, galleries, falafel shops and the elegant Place des Vosges. It is lively day and evening, safe and very walkable, close to the Seine, Notre-Dame and the Centre Pompidou. Ideal for travellers who want history and energy in one place.
Saint-Germain-des-Prés
On the Left Bank, Saint-Germain is classic Paris: literary cafés, bookshops, chic fashion boutiques and art galleries, close to the Luxembourg Gardens and the Musée d’Orsay. It feels refined, calm and very safe, with excellent hotels. A favourite base for couples, families and first-timers wanting central, elegant surroundings within walking distance of the river.
The Seventh and the Eiffel Tower
The seventh arrondissement surrounds the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides and the Rodin Museum, with wide avenues, the gardens of the Champ de Mars and the market street Rue Cler. It is quiet, residential and safe, with postcard views from many hotel windows. Best for travellers who want calm evenings and iconic landmarks nearby.
Montmartre
Up on its hill in the north, Montmartre keeps a village spirit with steep stairways, small squares, artists’ studios and views over the city from Sacré-Cœur. It is atmospheric and charming, though the lower streets near the boulevards can be busy at night. Choose it for character, creativity and romantic morning walks.
How long to stay in Paris and how to pair it
Recommended stay
Plan four to five nights in Paris to see the major museums and landmarks, wander several neighbourhoods and take one day trip to Versailles or Giverny. A week allows Mont-Saint-Michel or the Loire Valley as well. Three nights is the minimum for a first visit, focused on the classic highlights.
How to pair it
Paris is the perfect start for a French journey. In seven days, combine Paris with a high-speed train or flight to Nice and the Riviera. Over ten days, add Normandy or the Loire Valley on our multi-day packages. A fourteen-day trip can continue by train to Amsterdam for canals and museums, or add Provence between Paris and Nice for lavender, markets and hilltop villages.
Best time to visit Paris and the rhythm of the day
Best months
The best months for Paris are April to June and September to October, when parks bloom or turn golden, temperatures are mild and café terraces are full. July and August are warm and busy with visitors, while many locals leave. December has festive lights and markets, and winter is quieter, ideal for museums.
The daily rhythm
Parisians start the day with a coffee and croissant standing at the counter. Mornings are perfect for museums before the crowds. Lunch is a proper sit-down affair from around midday. Afternoons are for strolling, shopping and park benches. Evenings begin with a walk along the Seine, and dinner is rarely before eight, unhurried and savoured.
On-the-ground logistics in Paris
Arrival
Most travellers arrive at Charles de Gaulle Airport, about forty-five minutes to an hour from central Paris depending on traffic, or Orly Airport, usually thirty to forty-five minutes away. High-speed trains arrive at Gare du Nord, Gare de Lyon and other central stations. Our private airport transfer meets you in arrivals and drives you straight to your hotel.
Getting around
Central Paris is wonderfully walkable, and the metro and RER trains reach almost everywhere quickly. Buses offer great views, and licensed taxis and ride-hailing apps are easy to find. Shared bicycles are popular along the riverside lanes. For airport runs, day trips and evenings with luggage or children, a private car with driver arranged by our team is the most comfortable option.
Local etiquette tip
The single most important custom in Paris is to say “Bonjour, madame” or “Bonjour, monsieur” when you walk into any shop, café or bakery, and “Merci, au revoir” as you leave. Skipping it is seen as rude. Speak quietly in restaurants and on the metro, and wait to be seated in sit-down restaurants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask most about Paris.
Where should first-time visitors stay in Paris?
First-time visitors usually love Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Le Marais or the seventh arrondissement near the Eiffel Tower. All three are central, safe and walkable, with easy metro links to the main sights. Our team can suggest the best area for your budget and travel style and arrange a private transfer from the airport to your hotel.
Can Paris be done as a day trip, or does it need an overnight stay?
Paris is far too rich for a day trip. Even a fast visit needs at least two nights to see the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, a Seine cruise and one neighbourhood properly. We recommend four to five nights, and we can arrange train tickets, flights and transfers so your arrival and departure are effortless.
What is the dress code and etiquette in Paris?
Parisians dress neatly and stylishly, so smart-casual clothes help you blend in. Cover shoulders when visiting churches such as Notre-Dame and Sacré-Cœur. Always say “Bonjour” when entering shops, keep your voice low on the metro and in restaurants, and wait to be seated. Politeness opens many doors in Paris.
Is Paris tourist friendly?
Yes. Paris is among the most visited cities in the world, with excellent signage, multilingual museum guides and English widely understood in hotels and tourist areas. A little French goes a long way. With our attraction tickets, guided day tours, private transfers and team on WhatsApp, visiting Paris is easy and enjoyable.
Is it safe to travel to Paris now?
Paris is generally safe for visitors, with the main concern being pickpocketing in crowded spots and on the metro. Keep valuables close and stay aware in busy areas. Check the official travel advice of your own government before departure, and keep our WhatsApp line handy; our team and local partners are ready to help.
What are the must-do things in Paris?
The essentials include the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, a Seine river cruise, Notre-Dame and Sainte-Chapelle, Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur, and the Champs-Élysées. Add a market morning and a guided day tour to Versailles. We issue attraction tickets and arrange guided visits so you make the most of your time.
How many days do you need in Paris?
Four to five days is ideal for a first visit to Paris, covering the main museums, landmarks, neighbourhoods and one day trip. With a week you can add Mont-Saint-Michel or the Loire châteaux. Many travellers then continue to Nice by train or flight, which our team can book for you.
Which season keeps a Paris visit comfortable for children
Late spring and early autumn keep the outdoor sights and the gardens around Versailles comfortable, while the museums and the Seine cruise stay pleasant year round for a family group.
How does a family book the Paris tickets and tours through Haqqi Tours
A family sends the dates on WhatsApp, receives a written price for the tickets or transfer chosen, and confirms once the plan and the price are agreed before any payment.
How is the airport transfer arranged for arrivals in Paris
A vetted partner driver meets the family at the terminal with the flight tracked in advance, and the same driver can be booked again for the trip out to Versailles or Disneyland.
What can I book in Paris with Haqqi Tours?
Day tours, attraction tickets, private airport transfers, multi-day packages, flight tickets and train tickets, including Canal Saint-Martin & Seine River Cruise through the Locks Paris, Disneyland Paris Tickets and Normandy D-Day Beaches Day Trip from Paris. Each has its own page, and the WhatsApp desk combines any of them into one plan with one written price.
How do I get from the airport to my hotel in Paris?
Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is about 25 km north-east of the centre with three terminals spread over a large site - Terminal 2 alone has halls 2A to 2G - and the A1 motorway into the city. Our private transfer meets you at arrivals with a name board, tracks your flight and takes you door to door at a fixed price for the whole vehicle; the transfer pages list every route.
Is there public transport from the airport to Paris?
The RER B from CDG and the Orlyval-RER from Orly reach the centre in 35-50 minutes, and they are fine for a light traveller, but they end with stairs, gates and a metro change with luggage; Roissybus and Orlybus stop at fixed points. A car takes the périphérique straight to the hotel door, and to Disneyland or Versailles directly. With luggage, a family or a late flight, the private car is the simpler choice.
Which tours are available in Paris?
Among them: Canal Saint-Martin & Seine River Cruise through the Locks Paris, Disneyland Paris Tickets, Normandy D-Day Beaches Day Trip from Paris, Loire Valley Castles Day Trip from Paris and Bruges Day Trip from Paris. Each page says whether the day is private or small-group, what it includes and how long it lasts.
Are the tours private or in a group?
Both exist, and each tour page says which. A private tour has a vehicle and guide for your party alone; the desk can make most group tours private on request.
How do I book?
Fill in the form on any page or message us on WhatsApp with the date, the number of travellers and the hotel. A member of our team confirms the price and the details in writing within minutes.
