Here are some practical tips from my recent trip to Paris that might help you plan better: 1. Public Transportation If your trip is planned from Monday to Sunday, I highly recommend getting a Navigo weekly pass. It can significantly save transportation costs. ⚠️ Important notice: From July 25 to August 16, 2026, construction is scheduled on RER B (between Gare du Nord and the southern part of Paris). During this period, traveling between the airport and central Paris may be inconvenient. 👉 If you are visiting during this time, make sure to check updates in advance. 2. Major Attractions (Quick Notes) Notre-Dame – Easier entry if you book in advance Arc de Triomphe – Great photo spot Versailles – The front of the palace and the Trianon gardens are beautiful. If you visit in early spring (like March), you might enjoy simply walking around the gardens and open areas without booking palace entry. Louvre Museum – Iconic photo spot Montmartre – A must-visit area with a unique atmosphere 3. Day Trip Outside Paris Strasbourg – Very different atmosphere from Paris and possible as a day trip by train. However, if you are already planning to visit Germany, it may not be essential. 4. Food Tips During my 5-day stay, I tried several restaurants. Restaurants near the Eiffel Tower were generally expensive with average portion sizes. In contrast, restaurants around Notre-Dame offered better value, service, and overall experience. Plan smart with transport passes, check construction updates, and consider where you eat – it makes a big difference in Paris.

The sunset view is especially magnificent. 📍Palace of Versailles Louis XIV’s luxurious palace, famous for its golden Hall of Mirrors and vast royal gardens. It’s far from the city center, so it’s best to dedicate a whole day and take the RER C line directly there. ✅【Art and Romance Picks】 📍Musée d’Orsay Converted from an old train station, the building itself is a work of art. It houses many masterpieces by Impressionist masters, such as Monet’s Water Lilies and Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait.

Great for strolling and snapping photos to feel the daily life of Parisians. 📍Père Lachaise Cemetery The resting place of many celebrities like Chopin and Oscar Wilde. Walking through this peaceful cemetery offers a unique, niche kind of Parisian romance. 🍽️【Food Recommendations】 🔸narro 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Japanese-French fusion restaurant—how can you not try Japanese-style French cuisine in Paris! When we went, there was no lunch set, so we ordered two appetizers, two main courses, and one dessert. The plating was exquisite and beautiful, the appetizers fresh and appetizing. The main courses were outstanding—Paris’s first meal was so satisfying. The steak was incredibly fragrant, the duck breast super tender, so delicious I was at a loss for words. 🔸chouchou 🌟🌟🌟🌟 This is a traditional French restaurant. We ordered classic French dishes: foie gras, confit duck, and escargots. The food came quickly, portions were large, and the taste didn’t disappoint! Unfortunately, we were still jet-lagged during the meal and too sleepy to savor it fully. 🔸Kozy 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 You have to have brunch in France!! This place is near Notre-Dame Cathedral, perfect to visit before or after touring the cathedral. We ordered several recommended dishes, all delicious with no misses—every bite was pure happiness~ ⚠️【Practical Tips】 1️⃣Transportation: Paris metro is very convenient, and you can buy tickets via mobile apps. To get to Versailles, take the RER C line. 2️⃣Tickets: For popular attractions like the Louvre, Versailles, and Musée d’Orsay, it’s strongly recommended to book tickets in advance on the official websites to avoid long queues. 3️⃣What to wear: Comfortable sneakers are a must for walking around Paris! The weather can be changeable, so always carry a foldable umbrella; umbrellas sold at attractions are expensive. 4️⃣Save money: Consider buying the Paris Museum Pass, about €55 for 2 days, which allows skip-the-line access to most major attractions like the Louvre, Versailles, and Musée d’Orsay, offering great value. Before coming, Paris was just the Tower After coming, I found it’s more than just the Tower The Tower can represent Paris but can’t tell the whole story of this city🗼

The 13-day itinerary was perfectly arranged, with each country leaving a unique and profound impression. In France, we enjoyed the picturesque scenery along both banks of the Seine River on a cruise, taking in iconic landmarks like Notre Dame Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower. Germany's Neuschwanstein Castle brought back childhood fairy tales, and a sudden snowfall made it feel like winter in an instant, though we saw autumn scenery again as the bus left Germany. Switzerland, whether it was the Golden Pass Line train or Mount Pilatus, felt like a fairyland; a deep dive into Switzerland is a must! Italy's itinerary was even more spectacular: we rode a gondola through Venice's waterways, experiencing the unique charm of the "City of Water"; we took creative photos in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, adding fun to the trip; we explored the mysterious Civita di Bagnoregio, feeling as if we were in a Miyazaki animated world; and we gazed upon ancient ruins at the Colosseum in Rome, listening to the echoes of history. A special shout-out to our tour guide, Guide Li! He is truly a rare gem of a guide. His explanations were humorous and engaging, making dry historical anecdotes come alive; as a team leader, he was exceptionally meticulous and attentive, always mindful of every group member's needs, and ready to help with any issue. His thoughtful service filled the entire journey with warmth and laughter. The accommodations throughout the trip were quite good. The most pleasant surprise was the hotel in Switzerland, right next to Lake Lucerne, where we could see snow-capped mountains right outside in the morning. The hotel in Austria offered stunning views of the Alps from the window. The dining arrangements allowed us to savor authentic delicacies like Italian steak and Venetian squid ink pasta, and also included Chinese meals that suited our tastes. The tour bus was comfortable and clean, with ample space for each seat and charging ports, making long journeys relaxing and enjoyable. Our fellow travelers were all interesting, and I made many new friends. Sometimes, being younger, I even got a bit of "group pet" treatment. This trip completely changed my perception of group tours, achieving a perfect blend of "in-depth experience + hassle-free travel + quality enjoyment"! I highly recommend it, and I plan to choose this travel agency again next year for my trip to Northern Europe!

On my first full day in Paris, I spent the evening on a Seine River cruise. The cruise starts during the day, passing iconic landmarks like Notre-Dame Cathedral. Scattered people on the riverbanks and lawns smile and wave at us. As the sun sets, the sky turns pink, the river gently reflects the warmth, and the buildings and shadows soften. The last third of the trip ushers in the most enchanting blue hour. The water and sky blend into deep blue, lights along both banks gradually turn on, shimmering on the rippling river surface like Van Gogh’s "Starry Night Over the Rhône" brought to life—it’s not just artistic imagination or beautification. The journey begins at the Eiffel Tower and ends there as well. Passing under the stone arch bridge, the bright yellow tower appears right before your eyes, flashing its lights for 5 minutes every hour on the hour. We returned exactly at 8 PM, when golden sparks exploded against the deep blue night. This night was so densely romantic, Paris and I both appeared pink and purple through the lens. ✨Tips: · The cruise lasts 1 hour and costs only 50 RMB · Board half an hour before sunset to enjoy all three moments · Morning cruises offer the best outer seats; there’s wine 🥂 at the boarding waiting area

#europetrip So what are the best things to do in Paris in 1 day? Where do I even start? There are millions of things to do in Paris so it’s definitely worth doing a little bit of planning to figure out what you want to see and do the most. Another thing to keep in mind is that part of Paris’ charm are the streets, buildings, and neighbourhoods. While it definitely takes longer, I try to explore as much of the city as possible by foot. I’m not saying walk from Montmartre to the Eiffel tower, but you could walk from the Arc du Triomphe to the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower Getting a photo of the Eiffel Tower may be the most touristy thing to do, but it’s also a must. I’ll be honest; I’ve now been to Paris 10 times and I still haven’t actually been up the Eiffel Tower. I prefer a city view that includes the Eiffel Tower in it so I go to the base and surrounding area for photos every time I visit. If you do want to climb the tower there are two ticket types: one for the elevator and one for the stairs. Not surprisingly, the stairs are the cheaper option. There are also two viewing platforms with the top being more expensive than the second floor. It’s a good idea to book your tickets in advance to skip the lines- they are long! Arc de Triomphe Located at the end of the Champ-Elysees, the Arc de Triomphe is another iconic Paris Monument. The structure is a war memorial honouring those who fought for France. Names are carved into the stone of the arch and there is also a memorial flame. Ticket holders can also climb to the top where they will be rewarded with beautiful panoramic views of the city. I recommend going in the evening to see the city all lit up. Notre Dame Cathedral & The Seine Notre Dame is located along the Seine and provides a perfect opportunity to walk along this famous river. While walking, keep an eye out for Paris’ beautiful bridges including Pont Neuf and Pont Alexandre III. Walking is a great way to see these sites, but if you are looking for something different and a little more laid back consider taking a seine river cruise. Museums of Paris Paris has dozens of museums, but if you only have one day in Paris, then there is no way you will have time to see them all. Unless you are a museum person, I suggest picking one and saving the rest for another trip. The Louvre is by far the most popular and while I did enjoy going to see the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Winged Victory, it wasn’t my favourite museum. I personally preferred the Musée d’Orsay; a converted old train station with a huge variety of artworks. A third recommendation, and one that you can spend a shorter amount of time in, is the Musée de l’Orangerie which houses Claude Monet’s famous Water Lillies. Find a spot on the bench in one of the circular rooms and just try to take it all in. It’s pretty incredible. #paris #paristrip #paristravel #eiffeltower #travel #thingstodo #citydaytours
