Paris is a city where history, art, and world class cuisine combine to create one of the most captivating destinations in the world. Diving into the depths of Parisian culture might feel overwhelming. Where do you begin? There are countless iconic landmarks, charming neighborhoods, world-renowned museums, and hidden corners waiting to be discovered.
A tailored journey through Paris
Planning a trip online can often involve juggling a dozen or more tabs. The RoutePerfect trip planner makes all this a much simpler process – you can book flights, accommodation, and activities all on one platform. Along with making booking simpler, RoutePerfect offers a personalized itinerary based on your interests.
If you’re prioritising ‘Historic Places’ or ‘Culture’, or want to take advantage of ‘Great Food’ and ‘Night Life’, you can quickly change the sliders and watch as RoutePlanner automatically adjusts your itinerary. An art lover might explore the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay, the Rodin Museum, and then the street art of the Belleville neighborhood. A foodie can savor croissants at a family-run patisserie, enjoy a cheese-tasting session at a fromagerie, and dine at a bistro loved by locals.
Neighborhood immersion
Paris can be described as a city of villages, with each district offering its unique flavor. RoutePerfect’s trip planner introduces travelers to areas like Le Marais, with its medieval streets and trendy boutiques, and Montmartre, where artists like Picasso and Toulouse-Lautrec found inspiration.
For those looking to step off the beaten path, RoutePerfect might suggest an afternoon in Canal Saint-Martin, where Parisians picnic by the water and enjoy the café culture. By exploring the city’s different neighborhoods, travelers can enjoy a more complete picture of daily life in Paris.
Rich history
From the Roman ruins to the French Revolution, Paris has witnessed centuries of transformative events. Exploring the city can be overwhelming without guidance, but RoutePerfect makes things easier.
While landmarks like Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Palace of Versailles are on most itineraries, RoutePerfect also guides you to more overlooked historical sites. For example, the Crypte Archéologique beneath Notre-Dame offers insight into the city’s Roman origins, while the Conciergerie (a former courthouse and prison) sheds light on its tumultuous Revolutionary era.
Artistic discoveries
Paris is synonymous with art, with the Louvre the largest art museum in the world, housing more than 380,000 artworks – most famously the Mona Lisa. The Louvre hosted the largest ever exhibit of Da Vinci’s work in late 2019, but the Mona Lisa remained in its usual location as it is always in such high demand.
Paris also offers galleries like the Musée de l’Orangerie which features Monet’s mesmerizing Water Lilies and the Atelier des Lumières, which features immersive digital exhibitions. If you’re inspired, you might try a sketching workshop in Montmartre or a photography walk through the streets of the Ile Saint-Louis.
Live performances
No trip to Paris is complete without experiencing its vibrant live arts scene. RoutePerfect helps you find tickets to events like a ballet at the Opéra Garnier, a jazz concert in a basement club, or a cabaret show at the legendary Moulin Rouge.
Paris’s music scene includes renowned venues like La Cigale, originally a venue for cabaret and vaudeville and now one of the city’s most beautiful live music venues. It hosts an array of artists from French rappers to international rock and jazz bands. Meanwhile, the Philharmonie’s grand hall is home to the Orchestre de Paris who play with prestigious international conductors.
Surprises and hidden gems
RoutePerfect can suggest all these famous places, but also offers some hidden gems, such as the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, a lush park with a waterfall and stunning views of Paris. Or it might suggest exploring Rue Cremieux, a colorful street that feels more like a pastel-painted postcard than part of a bustling city. Meanwhile, the Musée de la Vie Romantique’s literary museum offers a glimpse into 19th-century Parisian life.
Stress-free travel
RoutePerfect empowers you to experience Parisian culture in a less stressful, more peaceful, and more personalized way. The platform offers transportation tips and information on metro lines, bus routes, and walking paths, making it much easier to navigate the city. You might take a scenic boat ride on the Seine to get from the Eiffel Tower to Notre-Dame, combining sightseeing with travel. Best of all, the travel is built into your itinerary.
Everything is on one platform and easily accessible. You can share your plans with friends and family, letting them know what’s on the agenda so you look forward to the trip together. By offering customizable itineraries, simplifying logistics, and uncovering hidden gems, you get to enjoy a unique trip tailored to your preferences and interests. Paris is waiting!
