Paris – Travel Guide

There are numerous reasons that make Paris so charming, and that elevate the city's fame to the status of the most romantic in the world, among other designations. Anyone who decides to go to the French capital notices this right away if they travel at the right time, like the European spring, when the green grass and flower beds make the city charming at first sight, or even in autumn, when all the charm is gives on the orange leaves of the trees.

Those who are unlucky enough to walk around Paris on a rainy day, or even in the dead of winter, may have a completely different view of what the City of Lights is like. The whole charm of the place is made up of a number of factors that may take some time to make sense. And, for that very reason, one of the best ways to get to know Paris is on foot, walking through surprising corners and getting lost in the city center.

Parisian sights, despite being iconic and unmissable, are not responsible for the most lasting memories of the entire time in the destination. What dictates the positive experience at the place is the company and the moments lived - such as the laughter in line at the Eiffel Tower, a special dinner, the croissants and macarons shared in a picnic in the Luxembourg Gardens, the beautiful view that you have from some points panoramic views of the city, among other places that yield special memories.
