"Whatever you do, remember: Parisians embrace a slower pace, so follow their lead and start your journey by focusing on one or two neighborhoods at a time to absorb their character fully. And whenever your feet tire and you feel you can't possibly eat another bite, kick back in any number of parks to rest and plan your next move."
"Paris was born on the Seine, so there's no better way to feel its rhythm and see the sights than from the river. Hop on a group cruise with Bateaux Mouches or Vedettes du Pont Neuf, or charter a private boat with Green River Cruises for front-row views and more privacy. Tip: Book a sunset cruise, the most atmospheric time of day when the landmarks glow and locals gather along the riverbanks."
"In every neighborhood, at all hours, locals linger on cafe terraces, coffee or wine in hand, engrossed in conversation or a book. Practice the Parisian art of leisure at legendary cafes like Les Deux Magots and Le Nemours, or neighborhood favorites like A la Renaissance and Le Progres. Tip: Take a seat midmorning or late afternoon (outside mealtime) for unhurried service."
Paris's 20 arrondissements spiral outward from the Seine, making the city walkable yet full of choices. Prioritize one or two neighborhoods to absorb their character and follow the Parisian slower pace. Rest in parks when tired and linger on cafe terraces, taking a seat midmorning or late afternoon for unhurried service at Les Deux Magots, Le Nemours, A la Renaissance or Le Progres. Experience the Seine on group cruises like Bateaux Mouches or Vedettes du Pont Neuf, or charter a private boat; book a sunset cruise for atmospheric landmark views. Visit boulangeries such as Mamiche for cream puffs and babka and Poilane for sourdough.
