Romantic French capital with the last word in chic, culture and cuisine
The world’s most visited capital feels a bit like a bubble – so compact that you can whizz from one end to the other on the constantly renovated Métro system, and virtually free of eyesores to detract from its centuries-old symmetry. Though you’ll have no problems finding ways to spend money in Paris, the city is also surprisingly friendly to those on a budget from free merry-go-rounds and sledging for children during the Christmas holidays to the immensely popular Paris Plage in summer.
