Ooh la la! Where does one begin describing the thrills which await in Europe’s most beautiful city? The secret about touring Paris is to stay focused on your interests. If you’re a museum buff, then spend a few days exploring Le Louvre, the greatest storehouse of history in Europe, but save time for the Musee d’Orsey, located in an old rail station – it’s where some of the world’s greatest works of art are displayed. If shopping is your bag, Paris offers chic, right off the runway clothes sold in dynamic department stores and stylish boutiques. Then there’s the food. No city in the world beats Paris for the quality or variety of food, which is usually served up in quaint eateries that the rest of the world tries to imitate but usually fails. There’s more history on just one corner of Paris than you’ll find in all of most other cities. Just pace yourself and accept you’ll need more than once visit to appreciate all Paris offers.
Currency: The Euro – 1 Euro equals $1.5 Canadian dollars
Best time to visit: April in Paris inspired a song and spring is when the French capital is at its loveliest. However, we like the early fall as well – September and October.
Getting around: The Paris Metro is one of the most extensive subway networks in the world and it’s fairly inexpensive, safe and clean.
Our favorite hotel: Hotel Lutetia (www.lutetia-paris.com) is where movie stars hang out and is located on the edge of the charming St. Germain dirtrict and close to the river Seine, the Musée d'Orsay (our favorite museum) and Notre Dame Cathedral. If money is not an issue, then the incredile Four Seasons George V (www.fourseasons.com/paris) quickly jumps to the top of our list.
Our favorite restaurant: Bad restaurants don’t last long in the culinary capital of the world, so you’re always assured of good food in Paris. However, La Brasserie du Lutetia in our favorite Paris hotel is as authentic as it gets. The seafood dishes here are made with the freshest ingredients daily.
