While we can not cover all the attractions Paris has to offer, here are some of the best places to discover the true Parisian way of life.


    What to do in Le Marais

The neighborhood offers easy access on foot to other neighborhoods like Châtelet and Place de la Bastille.

    Tea time in le Marais

    After exploring the park in the center of the square, take a moment to enjoy tea and a pastry at Carette under the vaulted brick arches of the Place des Vosges.

    Drinks in le Marais

    For an enjoyable date night, sip on cocktails and nibble on some tapas in the eclectic and trendy Chéper.

    Rooftop bar

    Consider the rooftop bar of the Hôtel National near the Centre Pompidou and take a sip of a refreshing cocktail as you both admire the sunset over the Parisian skyline, including a distant Eiffel Tower view.

    The Advantages of staying in Paris for any season

    Any time of year is a great time to stay in Paris, and each season has a unique charm. The best hotels and luxury apartment rentals offer a comfortable place to relax no matter the weather outside.

    Spring

    Springtime in Paris has inspired poetry and song, so naturally, the magic of seeing Paris in bloom makes for an excellent couple's trip. A stroll through the Tuileries gardens is delightful on a sunny day, while a rainy day calls for a cozy café.

    Summer

    Summer in Paris offers bright skies and long days, as the sun sets around 10 pm in June! All Highstay apartment rentals feature air conditioning so you can sleep comfortably even when the weather is hot outside.

    Fall

    The fall season is a great time to visit Paris as the crisp autumn air is still warm enough to spend the entire day outside visiting the major attractions in central Paris or strolling endlessly through cobblestone streets.

    Winter

    Winter in Paris offers plenty of activities to discover indoors, like museums and art galleries. The colder weather is the perfect excuse to taste the famous hot chocolate at Angelina café near the Louvre.


    Day trips from Paris for couples

    The Château of Versailles

    This enormous palace was built in the 17th century for French King Louis XIV, becoming the primary residence for the King and his court. The magnificently opulent baroque architecture is only rivaled by the French formal gardens, masterpieces of landscape architect André Le Nôtre. The Château is about an hour's drive from the Paris city center, offering easy access by car.

    Louis Vuitton Foundation

    This art museum, designed by famous architect Frank Gehry, lies in the Bois de Boulogne, the large park on the west end of Paris. The museum offers temporary contemporary art exhibitions from the Arnault family and LVMH collections, including famous artists like Jeff Koons, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Mark Rothko. The exhibits are constantly changing, and the museum remains open to visitors between shows.

    Giverny

    Discover the home, studio, and sprawling gardens of impressionist painter Claude Monet. The quaint village where the artist once lived is a one-and-a-half-hour journey from Paris by car. Today, you can visit the places that inspired him, such as the idyllic green bridge and pond full of water lilies depicted in his works.
