Attractions, Museums &
Hotels in the City of Light

Paris is the most-visited city in the world for good reason — the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, the Impressionists of the Musée d'Orsay, the palace of Versailles, the cafés and patisseries, and the simple pleasure of wandering its grand boulevards and intimate neighborhoods. The best visits book the big-ticket sights ahead to skip the queues, balance the famous museums with time in the arrondissements, and leave room to linger. Spring (April-June) and early fall (September-October) are the loveliest seasons.
