Why Paris, France.
Paris needs little introduction — the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre (home of the Mona Lisa and 35,000 works), and Notre-Dame, reopened after its restoration, anchor any first visit.
The city is best understood by arrondissement — the Marais for medieval lanes and falafel, Saint-Germain for cafés and bookshops, Montmartre for the Sacré-Cœur and the last vineyard in Paris.
It remains the world capital of food and fashion — from corner boulangeries and bistros to the grandes tables, and from the Galeries Lafayette to the couture houses of the Triangle d’Or.
A day in the Musée d’Orsay (the Impressionists in a converted Beaux-Arts train station) and an evening Seine cruise are the two experiences nobody regrets.
Versailles, the Sun King’s palace and gardens, is a 45-minute RER ride and an essential day trip — go early for the Hall of Mirrors before the tour groups.
