Budget Hotels in Paris

Paris is another destination that is easily accessible from Swiss. It takes roughly 3 hrs by train from Basel. The Eiffel tower is a must visit by day and by night but be extra careful of your wallets as the place is a center of pick pockets. People will come to you for surveys but these are mostly tactful pick-pockets trying to distract you from your wallets. The Louvre museum is another place where one can go for a day-visit and still not see everything there. A walk through the streets of Champs-Élysées, a ride on the hop-on-hop-off bus and trying the amazing food are some of the activities that can keep you busy at Paris. If you do go to Paris, I would recommend not to miss a trip to Disney Land!

6. France- Paris 'the city of love' truly deserves that title. Although I've been to multiple similar cities in Europe what sets Paris apart is the art, culture and heritage of the city combined with the french language making it a delectable combination.

From the charming Audrey Tataou roaming around the tantalizing streets of a hill-side Parisian town in Amelie to Ethan Hawke and Julie Delphy taking a boat ride on the Seine in a series of vivid scenes in Before Sunset- France has not just caught the fancy of filmmakers around the globe but it has also always defined romance, opulence and intimacy for many including myself.

It was time for us to pack our bags and leave for Amsterdam in an early morning Euro Rail. While we were feeling excited at the thought of seeing another buzzing European city but leaving behind Paris wasn't easy. With it's grand monuments, enthralling scenes, unique urban flair, tongue tickling cuisine, unparalleled night life, envious collection of local cheese and wine, swanky shops and prized artistic treasures; France is truly like a good wine, it keeps on getting better, it grows on you as each day passes by and it can truly pass off as the most seductive travel experience of your entire lifetime. 

Our short sojourn to Nice came to an end and we flew back to our good old Paris. Yes, that's how connected we felt with the French vibe. You cannot help it, France is so capable of casting a magical spell. It's truly captivating in every sense. My last day in Paris was reserved for one and only- Jim Morrison. I spent the entire day at Cimetière du Père Lachaise, the world's most visited cemetery. And rightly so, after all Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, composer Chopin, poet Apollinaire and writer Balzac- all have been buried here.

The fourth day we started feeling like Parisians. We had picked up a few French words, we were well accustomed with the train routes, we knew how to pronounce Champs-Elysees and we knew which wine to order. After whipping a lazy breakfast, we all headed to the Northern part of Paris. We decided to spend a large chunk of the day enjoying the lofty views of Montmartre. Crowned by the Sacré-Cœur basilica, Montmartre is the city’s most erected quarter. This part of Paris reeks of old-world, fairy-tale charm courtesy it's deviating architecture.

Visit Paris Airshow 2017 Last time, it was the Martin Jetpack that debuted at the Paris Airshow. If you had been there and pre-ordered your personal jetpack, you’d be the most smug-cool cucumber with your own Bond-like jetpack by now (deliveries for the fi rst lot of jetpacks are zooming out of Martin’s Christchurch facility this month). In addition, the Paris Airshow is by far the sexiest and edgiest aviation and tech event you could witness. Held every other year at the Le Bourget Airport in North Paris, France, the first few days of the event are closed to the general public, but the following Friday, Saturday, and Sunday welcomes in spectators of all ages. See in person a Dassault Rafale fighter jet flying display, creative design studios put up extraordinary exhibits, see gorgeous air displays by Boeing’s F16, crazy looking helicopters, and more. siae.fr
