Paris
Whether you indulge in its grand and monumental history or embrace its intimate romance, Parisian culture will leave its mark on you.
Always elegant and pure in its “Frenchness”, Paris gives you no doubt that you are in one of the greatest cities on earth. Explore the cozy cafés, buy coveted delicacies from the many markets and take in the essential sights. But be wary of your cash flow – like many other cities of its stature, Paris is not cheap!
Paris is located in northern central France, 165 miles south west of Brussels, 300 miles south of Amsterdam and under 4 hours by rail from London via the Chunnel.
The public transport system, RATP, is comprised of buses, trams, suburban trains (RER) and the Métro (subway).
Office de Tourism de Paris is located at 127 Champs-Elysées and is open daily 9am – 8pm.
The City of Lights has another, less romantic name, the "City of Daylight Robbery."
