Cheap City Breaks in Paris

Paris Sights

Known alternately as the 'City of Lights' and the 'City of Love', Paris is undoubtedly one of Europe's most exciting and romantic destinations. Home to some of the world’s best cuisine, the French capital is the Grande Dame of heritage, culture and art, providing supreme examples of Europe’s finest in all three. From the narrow streets and smoky cafés of the Left Bank to the treasures of the Louvre to the splendour of the Eiffel Tower and omnipotent Notre Dame, Paris is a seductive city break any time of year.

Visit Montmartre, the highest point in Paris, and the Sacré Coeur, the famed white-domed cathedral landmark that offers a splendid panoramic view over the city. Though the nearby Place du Tertre has become over-commercialised with touristy cafés and street artists painting portraits, it is still picturesque, and leads toward blissfully tranquil lanes that wind back down the hill past elegant old houses with mossy rock walls. Picasso, Degas and Van Gogh all lived in and drew inspiration from this area.

Many won't want to miss the Eiffel Tower, under which tourists throng waiting to climb or ride to the top. Those who are impatient should forego the Tower in favour of a boat ride along the Seine on a Batobus, an alternative vantage point from which to see the city's many stunning buildings and landmarks. Consider disembarking at the Musee d'Orsay, a former railway station on the banks of the Seine whose vaulted ceiling, marble walls and spectacular illumination provide a stunning setting for its impressive collection of 19th Century art.
