Deux jours à Paris ne sont pas assez de temps pour voir toute la ville, mais si cela est tout ce que vous avez, ne vous inquiétez pas – il suffit de planifier en conséquence. Un séjour de deux jours est suffisant, aussi longtemps que vous êtes efficace! Voici un guide sur les choses à voir à Paris en deux jours.

2 jours à Paris

Jour 1- Commencez votre premier jour à la Tour Eiffel. La Tour Eiffel est situé sur le Champs de Mars et a plus à offrir que juste la vue à couper le souffle! La Tour Eiffel a trois niveaux ouverts au public. Les trois étages sont accessibles par des ascenseurs, et les deux premiers niveaux sont également accessibles par des escaliers. Voici une ventilation de ce que chaque niveau a à offrir.

Niveau un: plancher transparent, immersion spectacle, affichage interactif sur l’histoire de la Tour Eiffel, une boutique de souvenirs, le 58 Tour Eiffel Restaurant, le Buffet Tour Eiffel

Niveau deux: idéal pour la prise de vue, trois boutiques de souvenirs, le buffet Tour Eiffel, du restaurant Jules Verne, histoire fenêtre, vision bien

Niveau trois: le bureau de Gustave Eiffel, cartes panoramiques, un petit modèle de la Tour Eiffel d’origine, le bar à champagne

Après la visite de la Tour Eiffel, vous rendre à la Seine et à bord d’un Bateau-Mouche pour une visite de Paris à partir de la rivière! La majorité des monuments de Paris sont situés le long de la Seine, alors profiter d’une croisière en bateau-mouche est le moyen le plus efficace de voir les choses à Paris en deux jours. 

Un endroit populaire à Paris qui est pas situé sur la Seine est L’avenue des Champs-Élysées. L’avenue des Champs-Élysées est bordée de magasins de marchandises et est un endroit parfait pour un déjeuner délicieux; il est aussi la plus belle avenue du monde. Faites votre chemin dans une brasserie traditionnelle, ou d’une boulangerie locale pour un sandwich sur le pouce!

L’après-midi est un moment idéal pour visiter le quartier de Montmartre. Etant l’un des quartiers les plus anciens et les plus intéressants de paires, Montmartre est un must pour les choses à voir à Paris en deux jours. Lancer sur le boulevard de Clichy, au bas de la colline, et de faire votre chemin dans les rues pavées de La Basilique de Sacré-Cœur. Montmartre est également le Moulin Rouge, les marchés de rue, et de Saint-Pierre de Montmartre.

Jour 2- Commencez votre deuxième journée à Paris avec un voyage à la célèbre Musée du Louvre. Le Louvre possède une incroyable collection de 35 000 œuvres d’art, et de ne pas mentionne la belle architecture détail dans le bâtiment lui-même. En plus de voir la Joconde et d’autres chefs-d’œuvre, le Louvre possède deux cafés situés dans le musée un café situé juste en dessous de l’entrée Pyramide. Il ya trois visites guidées par jour du Louvre, mais si vous préférez vous aventurer sur votre propre il ya un guide accès instantané audio avec des commentaires sur plus de 1000 chefs-d’œuvre disponible pour un peu plus de 2 €.

Après votre visite au musée du Louvre, la tête de la cathédrale Notre-Dame. Notre-Dame est ouvert tous les jours de l’année et les visiteurs sont invités à visiter l’intérieur de la cathédrale et de participer à ses services. La cathédrale est remplie de vitraux, histoire détaillée, l’architecture gothique, et est libre d’entrer, mais si vous souhaitez voir la vue imprenable du haut des tours, il vous en coûtera un peu plus.

La prochaine chose à voir à Paris est de deux jours est le Marais. Dans votre après-midi ici, vous devez visiter la place la plus ancienne et la plus belle de Paris, la Place de Vosges. Voici les artistes, les visiteurs et les habitants vont se prélasser au soleil parisien à l’été. Le Marais regorge aussi de galeries d’art et boutiques à la mode, non seulement à l’intérieur, mais aussi dans les rues. Le Marais est également connu pour diverses spécialités culinaires, surtout le brunch du dimanche.

Si vous vous retrouvez avec un peu de temps, je vous recommande de le dépenser au Musée d’Orsay fortement. Ce musée abrite des peintures impressionnistes de style, meubles, sculptures et photographies.

Plus de jours? Il y a encore beaucoup à faire à Paris comme à explorer cimetière du Père Lachaise et d’entendre les histoires de tous les français et les étrangers enterré là. Prenez un voyage d’une journée ou deux à Vallée de la Loire, Chartres, ou le Mont-Saint-Michel.

On 6^th June of 1944, the largest naval battle in history occurred in Normandy. With more than 155,000 soldiers, 14,000 war ships and thousands of airplanes, the Allies fought to liberalize France from the German occupation in the World War II.

What to see?

Best known as D-Day, it was what many consider the turning point of the war. Combating the German occupation, the Normandy region became a home base of sorts for the units of the Allies. The American units, which had a huge role in the battle, were established in what is now named “The American Sector”, composed of some beaches and villages.

Many consider Omaha beach the most important one. It is here that the Americans landed and faced their first battle in hopes of liberating Europe. The Americans also landed, due to some miscalculations, in the Utah Beach. These two beaches are close in proximity, and in both locations, you will find many memorials, bunkers, and war remnants.

Another important place was the small town “Sainte-Mère-Eglise”, located in the heart of the airborne operations, this village served as a key place that proved vital to stop the German reinforcements. Also widely know for being the location where the airbornes were launched from.

 

6 kilometers (approximately 4 miles) away from Omaha beach, you can find the “Pointe du Hoc”, a cliff used by the American forces as an attack point.

The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial is a large cemetery where more than 9000 fallen American soldiers are buried. It serves as a memorial from France to honour those who died for the liberty of the country.

How to experience?

The American sector of Normandy has many stories throughout history to tell. From ParisByM, we recommend to take a guided tour to not miss any detail of the largest naval battle in history. In addition, many parts of the Normandy regions has memorials, museums with real war machines and iconic places which were a key to the victory.

Feel free to discover how the Americans helped liberalizing Europe through the feelings: the horror of war, the strategy and the euphoria of the victory in 1945.

Étretat is a commune in Normandy (North-East of Le Havre) best known for its chalk cliffs. Very similar to those which can be found in Dover, these cliffs soar above the gravelly beach and form natural arches and complex formations.

The Cliffs

Built as a simple fishermen’s village, Étretat is now one of the most renowned and beautiful beach resort in France: thanks to its white cliffs, the shingles and the natural arches, the town is the perfect destination for tourists from all over the world.  The Étretat chalk cliffs are made of different varieties of chalk and rise from 230ft to 300ft above the sea level.

The most unusual and interesting formation is, without a doubt, the so-called Needle (in French, “Anguille”), which rises 70 metres above the sea: an underground river and the natural erosion created, throughout the years, these natural structures, which are now the main attraction of Étretat and one of the most impressive and magnificent natural landscapes in France. Walking along specific trails, you can enjoy vertiginous routes with sensational views over the ocean: interestingly, you can recognize these cliffs, the arches and the “spires” from countless paintings by Impressionist artists like Boudin, Courbet and Monet, who were attracted by the breathtaking and unique landscapes.

Also, the cliffs were used as a special setting by the writer Maurice Leblanc, in 1909, for the novel “The Hollow Needle” (in French, “L’aiguille creuse”), which features one of the most famous character in literature, the gentleman thief “Arsène Lupin”.

The Beach

The gravelly beach, surrounded by the cliffs, is well protected from wind and tides: it is one of the favourite beach resorts in France and tourists from all over the world come there in order to relax and enjoy all the beautiful landscapes that can be found; however, during winter time, the beach regains its “wild” form. Gravel and stones are necessary to the preservation of the beach, since they protect  it from atmospheric agents.

A long walkway-dam called “perrey” divides the beach from the village: it used to protect Étretat from dangerous tides. Besides, the old sea front has been destroyed during World War II in order to better defend the coast.

The Village

The small village is full of tiny cafés and cosy restaurants. However, the most interesting part of the city is what can be called as the “Old Town”: there, you can find  the impressive church of Notre-Dame, built in the XII century and now historical monument. The Norman Gothic style and the “lanter-tower” highlight the uniqueness of the building: moreover, the Roman façade makes the structure even more characteristic, underlining an amazing mix of cultures and architectures. Close to the church, you can also find a war grave, the “Étretat Churchyard”, which contains 264 Commonwealth and one German burial from the First World War.

In Étretat, you will have the chance to find several  beautiful châteaux, manors and villas: first of all, the so-called Clos Lupin, in rue Guy de Maupassant (interestingly, another artist who spent most time in the town…): the house, where Maurice Leblanc used to live, is surrounded by gardens and flowers (the name “Lupin” comes from the flower called “lupines”, in French “lupin”). The house is now a museum, where you can find interesting Lupin-style enigmas. Then, you can find the Manoir de la Salamandre, a typical old regional house, similar to those that can be found in the Pays d’Auges, an area in Normandy: it is a great illustration of the architecture of the region. Finally, you can also take a look at the Villa Orphée, built by the composer Jacques Offenbach: from there, you will have a beautiful view over the cliffs.

Last but not least, Étretat is also known because of the “White Bird” affair, where two pilots, in 1927, tried to make the first non-stop flight from Paris to New York: however, after the departure, the biplane disappeared in the ocean.

How to get there

Étretat is about 50 minutes by car from Honfleur, via Le Havre. You can easily go there by bus (from 1 to 2 hours), starting from Le Havre’s “gare routière”, adjacent to the train station.

Here is a Top 5 Festivals in France organized in different categories so that whoever you are, you will undoubtedly find the one that suits you.

Let’s begin this Top 5 Festivals in France with our first category: classical music.

1. Classical Music / Opera

The first festival you shouldn’t miss is called “Les Chorégies d’Orange”. It happens every summer in the antique theatre of the city of Orange, and the beauty of the arena combined with the quality of the opera make it a must-see if you are fond of classical music.

There is also the “Festival de l’Opéra en plein air”, which happens in different places every year to perform one particular opera. Aimed towards making every generation discover classical music and promoting new lyrical artists, no doubt the “open air” frame is also part of its success…

Finally, we advise you to attend the “International Piano Festival of the Roque d’Anthéron” which takes place every summer around Aix en Provence, in the French Riviera. Open air too, it is one of the most famous lyrical festival.

 

2. Pop Rock Music

If you are fond of pop rock music and want to dance, you should go to the Vieilles Charrues Festival which takes places every July in Brittany. Gathering different types of music such as rock and electro, everybody can enjoy a great moment in one of the biggest European Festival.

Likewise, you shouldn’t miss the Solidays of Paris, organized every June and above all aimed at raising people’s awareness about sexual diseases (mostly AIDS). From electro to rock music, this festival is a great united meeting of young people.

If you want to discover French pop artists, head to the Francofolies in La Rochelle. The aim is to spread French current music, whatever generation you belong to.

 

3. Drama / Theatre

The more important drama festival of Europe is definitely the Festival d’Avignon, happening every summer. The most famous stage is located in the open air “Cour d’honneur du Palais des papes”, and although dramatic arts seem to reign, it offers other types such as dance or fine arts with artists from all over the world.

If you go to France in June to visit the castles of the Loire Valley, don’t miss the Festival d’Anjou. Many plays are staged in historical sites of the region, so that you will enjoy the beauty of the castles like the Plessis-Macé Castle along with dozens of drama shows.

In June again, Versailles organises the “Molière month” in its sumptuous place. The festival houses more than 300 open air shows, especially of theatre arts, but also living arts shows with dance or circus… And many entrances are for free !

 

4. Cinema

The most famous festival of the world, the Festival de Cannes takes place in the French Riviera to reward the best movie, actor/actress, and filmmaker of the year. The ceremony of the “Red Carpet Walk” is watched all over the world to see the stars in their fancy outfits, and the surroundings offer outstanding views over the Mediterranean Sea, which gives the Festival a touch of fairy.

The Festival du film américain de Deauville, entirely dedicated to American movies, takes place in September. It has received very famous movie stars so far, from Robert de Niro to John Travolta. There is even a competition between independent movies so that you can enjoy every type of American cinematographic production.

Finally, and on a very different note, Gérardmer houses in the Vosges the International Festival of Fantastic Movies every winter, in which Fantastic has the place of honor in cinema as in other arts.

 

5. Carnival & Live arts

The last category of our Top 5 Festivals in France will make you party, especially in the Carnival of Dunkerque. Starting in January for three crazy months, it is one of the most famous in Europe because of the mass it gathers and the party atmosphere it spreads. From parades to balls, be sure you will have a very joyful, colourful and musical moment!

The Carnival of Nice is, as for him, the biggest carnival of France. During the month of February, many floats decorated in the chosen theme of the year file in the streets of Nice, within a crazy party atmosphere.

Paris offers as much to discover overground as it does underground and I am not talking about its famous Metro system, which by the way was the first subway system in the world. Today you can find 18 mysterious metro stations that are not being used anymore. Besides these underground attractions we are presenting to you the Top 3 Souterrains in Paris.

1. Réservoir de Montsouris

The first of our top 3 souterrains in Paris is the Réservoir de Montsouris in the 14th district of Paris was built in the years from 1868 to 1873 by the engineer Eugène Belgrand. As one of the 5 reservoirs of the Capitals it provides the water for about 20 % of all Parisians. Besides its practical use as storage for clean water it has also gained the nickname “Cathédrale d’eau” (Water Cathedral) due to its unique architecture and its majestic pillars. Up until 2001 anyone was able to visit the Réservoir de Montsouris but after new safety standards were required the reservoir had to close its doors to visitors. Only in 2014 during two days (journées de patrimoine) the “water cathedral” opened again for visits. The reservoir has two floors each sized 60 ooo square meters and fits a maximum of 202 000 cubic meters of water to secure the water supply of Parisian households. From the outside one can barely guess whats going on inside this water reservoir. It is covered by a large field of grass and flowers and all that is above ground are two small resembling buildings that really do not indicate the size and importance of the reservoir.

2. Les Catacombes

One of the most visited attractions in the french capital can be found underground. The catacombs of Paris were created in the 18th century to relieve the overcrowded cemeteries within the City. Today, bones of more than 6 million people are buried in the ossuary. When visiting the catacombs at Denfert-Rochreau Station you will find these bones carefully piled on each other creating a sort of artistic appearance. Only after Louis-Étienne Héricart de Thury from the Paris Mine Inspection Service transformed the unorganized piles of bones  that it became a real mausoleum. Since then in 1810 the catacombs have been open for visits up until today with only a few short breaks. Today this one is one of the top 3 souterrains in Paris you can visit every day but make sure to buy your fast track ticket online to skip the queuing on site.

Reserve your tickets here. (site in French)

Les Catacombes de Paris – 1 Avenue du Colonel Henri Rol-Tanguy, 75014 Paris

3. Les Égouts

“The city below the city” This term comes from the use of actual street names and house numbers that were placed underground in the sewers. So, there is quite literally a second Paris underground. The first sewer system was established in Paris in 1370 under the “Rue Montmatre”. You can follow the history of the sewers and visit the sewer museum at the Pont de l’Alma. The accessible part extends to a 500 meter path underground where you can discover the historic water cycle of Paris and many machines of which some are still in use. As the oldest and still existing sewer system “Les Égouts” earn their place in the top 3 souterrains in Paris.

Would you like to enjoy your trip to France in a different way for a change? Why don’t you explore the wonderful nature and architecture of Loire Valley by bike? Marvelous landscapes, breathtaking castles, fresh air and exercise – doesn’t that sound like a perfect vacation?

About Loire Valley

Located only one hour from Paris, in the west of France, the Loire Valley is a region of nature and history. Lovers of ancient castles and chateaux will enjoy themselves! Not only the world-famous castles of Chenonceau and Chambord, the smaller castles like Azay-le-Rideau, Villandry and Saumur are worth a visit. Apart from that, you must see the city of Ambroise and the magnificent landscapes and woodlands of Loire Valley. Perfect for  unforgettable Loire Valley bike tours.

How to get there

If you are already in Paris, it is not difficult to get to Loire Valley. Find out more about travelling to Loire Valley here!

Loire Valley Bike Tours

Most providers offer both guided and self-guided tours. Both have their advantages, based on your ideas and needs. The local guides not only lead the way but they know loads of stories about the region. So, if you wish to learn more about the region, its history and its anecdotes, you should book a guided tour. However, if you prefer to discover the region at your own pace, we recommend a self-guided tour.

There is a great deal of various offers available during spring and summer months, mostly from April to October. Please check the website of the specific provider for detailed information. All in all, you can choose between several bike tours with different durations – from only one day up to six days. In case of a duration of more than one day, most offers will include accommodation. You will be able to pick the Loire Valley bike tour that fits best for you since various routes are offered.

Additionally, there can be extra activities to guarantee an outstanding experience for you. For example, you can take a break to have a picnic in a nice spot off the road, visit the breathtaking castles and charming villages with their winding streets all around the area. There are even offers including wine tastings. Or you can also try a Bike & Spa if you’re into wellness!

Length & difficulty

To give you a rough idea of the tours, you will do 25 miles within approximately 12 hours, for example. The level of difficulty varies but most providers will indicate how strenuous the tour will be. If you would like to go on a Loire Valley bike tour, be prepared for cycling through a region with hills and changing grounds since most routes will lead you on back roads and through forests.

Advice

First, please don’t overestimate your own fitness! Cycling all day long can be more exhausting than you may think. So, perhaps it is more reasonable to book an easier route for a start. If you are an expert when it comes to cycling, don’t hesitate to try the other bike tours. But even if you are used to cycling a lot, don’t forget the drink enough water, especially during the hot summer months.

Second, if you’re coming with your family, check out first if there are family offers. If your children are old and fit enough for a bike tour, you might be interested in one of the easier ones. But after a whole day riding your bikes, one thing is for certain – your kids are going to sleep like a baby.

Thus, the village is said to be the birthplace of champagne whereas Epernay is the “official” capital of champagne since several of the big champagne houses are located there.

In most Champagne tasting tours, you will learn about how the grapes are picked, you’re going to visit the tanks and the cellars where the valuable Champagne mature. And of course, what would a champagne tasting tour be without the real tasting? Try the locally produced champagne and taste the different grapes. Most of the champagnes are made of three different grapes, called assemblage but occasionally, you can find a vigneron producing champagne with only one sort of grape. Some of them have dedicated their work to the old sorts, those grapes which have been cultivated in the area a long time before this special sparkling wine has become popular all over the world.

If you liked one sort particularly after the tasting, you may also have the chance to buy a bottle right at the estate. Many local producers even only sell their wines directly at the estate which means that your favorite will not be sold by any ordinary wine merchants.

Cocktail Bars In Paris

Top 10 Bars in Paris

Certainly, party venues are to be found throughout the city but still, some districts are packed with bars, clubs or cafés to enjoy Paris’ nocturnal atmosphere. Here is an overview of popular nightlife districts in Paris.

Le Marais

In the 4^th arrondissement of Paris, the Marais neighborhood is known for its great offer of nightlife venues, especially for the many gay and lesbian clubs and bars such as Le Tango. But there is something for anyone!

As the main Jewish neighborhood of Paris, you can find several restaurants or snack-bars in the area, for example L’As du Fallafel selling the best Fallafel of Paris! Why not grab a snack before spending a cool night at the CUD Bar? This bar is mostly frequented from the early morning on since party people come from other clubs to enjoy the rest of the night at the CUD which makes it one of the most popular late-night spots in the Marais. Enjoy dancing to pop and house music but be careful if you don’t want people to get too close – it’s going to get hot in there!

If you want to spend a more relaxed night, try the Lizard Lounge. They sell American food like burgers and pancakes in a stone cave. There is a dancefloor where you can dance to house, hip-hop and funk music and you can enjoy small live gigs on Sundays.

Latin Quarter & St-Germain

In this area, 5^th and 6^th arrondissement, are popular because of the old-established cafés such as the Café de Flore or the Café Mabillon where Parisians love to have dinner and drink a glass of wine. Still, especially the Latin Quarter offers a lot of restaurants, pubs and bars since it has been the students’ district for ages. Thus, this area is perfect for those who wish to spend a relaxed night over a couple of drinks in cosy bars. For example, there is the Cavern Club – an old English pub. Or what about the vaults such as the Caveau de la Huchette? In any case, you will certainly find a cool location around Rue Mouffetard and Place de la Contrescapre! Just have a look around and pick the bar you like.

Montmartre & Pigalle

When you’re in Paris don’t miss this neighborhood. It does not only offer the world-famous cabaret the Moulin Rouge but much more. Since Pigalle is one of the red-light districts of Paris, this is one of the trendy nightlife districts in Paris – a very lively area at night with bars, concert halls and clubs. For instance, you can find venues like La Boule Noire where you can enjoy rock music. La Machine du Moulin Rouge combines a bar, a club and a live venue on three floors. The main dancefloor used to be the Moulin Rouge’s boiler room – unusual interior guaranteed!

Learn more about Montmartre here!

Bastille

An area playing an important part in European history, this neighborhood used to be home to the families of craftsmen and turned into a trendy area in the 1990s. There is something for everyone – no matter what kind of music you’re into. For example, you can spend your night at a cool bar such as the Wild West bar Red House with its rustic interior and its selection of rock, punk, funk and electro music. Or why don’t you try Le Réservoir? Listen to soul, jazz, latino, rock or French pop music! Dining, dancing or just having a drink – do what you feel like! On weekends, you can even join the jazz brunch.

République & Oberkampf

At some point, the Bastille neighborhood was “replaced” by République and Oberkampf, meaning that it is now one of the trendiest nightlife districts in Paris. You can find all kinds of nightlife venues there. Do you feel like relaxing in one of the armchairs or cozy sofas in Le 114 listening to rock and pop music? Their slogan says everything: “It’s just like home, but better.”

Le Bric à Brac attracts a young and cosmopolite target group fond of hip-hop and electro music. Why don’t you go there for a drink during their happy hour from 6 to 9PM? In the afternoon, customers can use the small library or watch projections of documentaries.

On top of that, the concert venue Nouveau Casino is known for the city’s liveliest club nights. So, what are you waiting for? Join the fun!

Unique Hotels In Paris

Why plan your trip to Paris with a package?

The Exotic Garden of Monaco has a unique collection of succulent plants, as well as an old prehistoric cave: from this garden, you can enjoy the most beautiful view over the city!

The Exotic Garden of Monaco is a unique botanical garden situated on a Cliffside. It was built by Albert I, Prince of Monaco in 1912, thanks to the help of Louis Notari (the Chief Engineer) and directed by the French agronomist Louis Vatrican.

There, you can find several species of succulent plants – such as cactus – and other particular plants which will delight those who are interested in botany. From the Garden you can enjoy a great view over the city and the Mediterranean sea. Don’t forget to visit the natural cave – only with a specialized guide – and the Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology!

The Exotic Garden of Monaco is open all year except for the 19th November and 25th December.

February to April: 9.00 – 18.00
May to September: 9.00 – 19.00

Bored to death of the same old ordinary paths, of touristic sightseeing and well-known landmarks? Thanks to the Catacombs, you will experience the thrill of underground haunted tunnels, along with the unusual  and breathtaking beauty of old Parisian skeletons.

The Catacombs are one of the most gruesome and macabre sights in Paris. Full of endless underground tunnels  packed with skulls and bones, they represent the solution for aesthetic and hygienic problems due to the overflowing cemeteries during the XVIII century.

Built in 1810, the Catacombs contain a great number of exhumed bones, which are stored in lines. A narrow stairway will lead you down 130 steps  to the tunnels, where you will have the opportunity to reach the barely illuminated and eerie tunnels. Then, you will have the unique chance to walk through the 1.5 km underground tunnel  where millions of skulls from Parisians lie. The tour takes around 45 minutes.

The catacombs have been very important during the WWII: there, since 1944, the Résistance used to meet and to plan attacks, far beyond  Nazi control. Interestingly, nowadays thorughout the catacombs you may also find thrill seeking cataphiles, who wander through the tunnels and look at the lines of skulls as if they were in a sort of amusement park: however, differently, if caught, they are fined!

This labyrinth, which contains bones from the 11^th to the 19^th century, has been built following the examples of Rome and Naples. The abandoned quarries, now used to house skulls and bones, has been packed to create space for new districts after numerous complaints about the risk of infection for the inhabitants, caused by the old Cemetery of the Innocents (close to Saint-Eustache, in the area of Les Halles)

One of the most intriguing and interesting attractions in Paris, the Catacombs have been visited by famous people such as Napoleon III and the Emperor of Austria. Take a walk through the narrow tunnels and explore the underground area where the dead rest in peace and the thrill seekers look for excitement!

Elle est bordée de magnifiques chutes d’eau , des ponts et de verdure, ainsi que d’une montagne rarement grimpé offrant une vue magnifique sur le parc et une réplique du Temple romain de Sibylle au sommet.

Ruches

Niché dans un coin sud-ouest du Jardin du Luxembourg se trouve un groupe de ruches. Les producteurs de miel local, les abeilles sont une partie inattendue de la production alimentaire de Paris.

History

Bastille Day, or the French national holiday, commemorates the end of the French monarchy and the beginning of the French Revolution. After years of economic struggle and overwhelming hunger, the French commoners decided to rebel against the lavish spending of the monarchy and the growing socioeconomic divide between classes.

On July 14^th, 1789, the fed-up bourgeoisie stormed the Bastille prison to protest the unjust rule of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. This successful revolt by the people of France marked the beginning of the French Revolution and the shift from absolute monarchy to republic.

How to Celebrate Bastille Day in Paris

The capital of the French Republic, Paris offers a number of fantastic ways to celebrate the French national holiday. Large public events featuring food and dancing are offered all night long and many attractions offer extended hours and free admission.

On la fête nationale, the iconic Champs-Elysées becomes a patriotic symbol of French national identity.

The parade starts at 10:10am, but be sure to get there early for the best views!

Free Performance at the Opéra de Paris 

On July 14th, enjoy a free ballet performance at the Opéra de Paris.

Fireman’s Ball

Fitting the party theme, the fireman’s ball is an annual favorite among Parisians and visitors alike.  On the nights of July 13th and 14th, head over to one of the numerous firehouses in Paris for a night of dancing in the City of Light!

Evoking dreams, poetry and the imaginative world of the night, printed quotations decorate the walls, inviting guests to read and dream. The decorator Didier Benderli wanted to combine the words of authors with decorative works.

While accommodations and sights are a vital part of your Parisian vacation, there are a few other considerations that you need to keep in mind before your trip. The most important of these things is to walk the walk like a Parisian and not looking like an obvious tourist.  There are numerous ways to transition into the air of the Parisian persona.  We’re going to break it down into three categories for you: the look, the air, the food.

The Look

Rule number one: leave your brightly colored, branded clothing at home. The French embrace the simplicity of neutral colors and don’t feel the need to advertise the brand of clothing they are wearing.  They let the clothing and its quality speak for itself.  There is no need to advertise the brand you are wearing.

You don’t have to bring your best pieces with you but dressing nicely is some of the best advice we can give you. Your clothing should be prepared to take a stroll through Jardin du Luxemburg, a visit to the Louvre or hold up to the street style of an outdoor café.

Scarfs are the best accessory you can bring with you. They’re versatile and allow you to change up the same basic outfit. Make sure you bring broken-in, comfortable shoes for the day (you’ll be doing more walking than you thought) and save your heels for dinner. When it comes to your purse or bag, having a bag that zips up and isn’t easy to break is extremely important. It makes it ten times harder for you to be pick-pocketed when you bag is zipped up tight.

The Air

We’re not talking about the literal air of Paris her, but the persona that the Parisians have.  They’re confident, serious and they’re never lost.  While everyone hopes to obtain these attributes, it’s pretty easy to fake it until you make it. The way you hold yourself is a key aspect of looking like a Parisian, shoulders back, chin up, don’t slouch: any place you are this will immediately make you appear more confident.  Looking as if you are not lost even if you are, gives the air that you are not to be messed with or targeted.  The best advice for this category is to keep your head up.

The Food

The French take their food very seriously.  There are a couple of big no-no’s when it comes to food, dining and eating in Paris.  Time moves differently in Paris, there is still the hustle and bustle of big city life, but there is also the slow relax demeanor the French are famous for.  There is no need to eat on your way somewhere and to go coffee is only for transport.  Food is meant to be thoroughly enjoyed, thus you need to take time and care while enjoying your food.

Dining in Paris has its own etiquette. Forget what you know and embrace the change. Unlike those who were raised in the States, the French hold their fork in their left hand and their knife in their right hand. Resist the temptation of switching your fork to your right hand.  They say the knife should be held as an extension of your hand. Use the knife to push food onto you fork.

All that delicious bread served with you meal is meant to clean your plate when you have finished your meal. It’s also a great pre-dinner munch.  Make sure you break off just enough bread for a bite and then place the rest off to the left side of the plate on the table. There’s no need to rush while enjoying a meal in Paris, or anywhere in France really.

So, slowly sip your wine and embrace all there is about walking the walk like a Parisian.

Top 10 Attractions in Paris

Paris, while it can feel surprisingly small at times, can be quite difficult to traverse on foot. Long walks can leave you feeling tired and drained… making you too exhausted to truly enjoy the entirety of your day… Looking for an easier way to get around Paris!? Well look no further. A Segway tour will make exploring the city of lights a breeze.

The ParisByM team recently took the liberty of trying one of Paris’s segway tours for ourselves. We can truly tell you that we had an absolutely terrific time. Imagine being able to see all of Paris’s main monuments and attractions in the span of a mere few hours. Not only that… but you won’t break a sweat.

Riding a segway is one of those things that might make you feel a little bit like a silly tourist… but the fact of the matter is everyone should feel jealous of you. Not only can you go insanely quick on one of these beauties. But the simple mechanics of a segway will make you feel a little bit like a super hero flying around town.

How does a segway work?

A segway is simply a machine that is designed to keep itself balanced up right. The built in gyroscope ensures that you will not fall over when riding and allows you to control the direction of your movement simply by leaning your body in the direction you would like to go. The further forwards you lean your body… the faster you will go. The more backwards you lean the faster you will break or go in reverse. It’s really that easy! After a few moments practice with your tour guid you will be a Paris segway tours expert. Your guide will ensure that you are up to speed on all important safety information. Follow his instructions and you will have no problems!

What’s to be seen

Paris segway tours will take you past many different iconic landmarks such as l’Hôtel des Invalides, the Louvre and even the Eiffel Tower! Your tour guide will explain the history of everything that your eyes alight upon ensuring that you are saturated in all of the culture found here in Paris. Segway tours are relatively inexpensive and depending how long you want your tour to be can go for around approximately 70 euros.
