Paris

Art, food, and that certain light. Paris needs no introduction: museums, cafés, and neighbourhoods that each have their own character. Romantic, cultural, and endlessly walkable.

The Louvre, Montmartre, and the Seine at sunset. Each arrondissement has its own mood; skip the queues with early mornings and long lunches. Spring and autumn are golden. Le Marais and Canal Saint-Martin are ideal for wandering without a fixed plan: small galleries, wine bars, and bakeries appear around every corner. The métro and Vélib bikes make crossing the city easy; keep comfortable shoes for cobblestones and stairs.
