Travel in Paris

Canal Saint-Martin evening

Apéro on the iron footbridges as the locks fill. Paris at its most local.

Eiffel summit at dusk

Top of the tower as the city lights come on. Book the summit slot ahead — it sells out.

Luxembourg garden chair hour

Claim an iron chair by the pond, watch the sailboats, do gloriously nothing.

Palais Royal noon pause

Striped columns, black fountain, lunch on a bench. Free and central.

Weekend in Paris, done right

Eiffel summit at opening, one museum, one long dinner. Walk everywhere.
