Cafes, cocktails and culture

Every quartier in Paris dances to its own tune. Fill your trip to Paris with bohemian cafes in Montmartre and the leafy boulevards of the Marais.

Gaze out across the glittering skyline with a rooftop cocktail, live it up among the spirited students of the Quartier Latin, soak up the arty vibes around the Sacré-Coeur or push the boat out in a luxury hotel along the Champs-Elysées.

Anything feels possible on a short break in Paris

Sneaking off for a romantic weekend in Paris? No problem. The City of Light is also the City of Love. Smooch in style on the banks of the Seine, get lost amid the high-end glamour of Saint-Germain, give the credit card a worthy bashing at one of 100 Michelin-starred restaurants and take a turn around the legendary Louvre.



Weekend breaks to Paris come bursting at the seams. Why not chuck yourself into the village-like atmosphere of Montmartre, creative playground and historic hangout of Picasso and Toulouse-Lautrec? The steep streets are peppered with hidden cafes and backstreet bars, all perfect for pondering life over a glass of vin rouge or a cheeky absinthe. It’s the kind of place where anything feels possible. (Or maybe that’s the absinthe…) Find out more about evening activities on our Paris nightlife page.

Alternatively kick off your Paris weekend break by diving into the hipster scene of the Marais, a magnetic muddle of boutique hotels, cutting-edge brasseries and a whole lot of beards. The area might be notoriously pricey, but people-watching is free and there’s no place better to do it. Often compared to Manhattan’s SoHo, it’s somewhere to weave between vintage shops, duck into darkened corner bars and feel oh-so Parisian, just for one day.

Even on short breaks to Paris, you really can take in so much, and this is a great spot to instantly feel in the thick of things. Learn more about the best areas to stay on our Paris hotels page.

Discover more on longer Paris trips

For longer holidays to Paris, there’s no end of ways to fill your days. Once you’ve ticked off the big guns and cafe-hopped to your heart’s content, scout out hidden gems such as the decidedly untouristy Parc des Buttes-Chaumont or on-the-pulse culture hub L’Entrepôt.

When to go

Audrey Hepburn hit the nail on the head: Paris IS always a good idea. Every season has its charms, but Paris breaks really are a year-round joy.

The city in springtime is the blossomy stuff of Hollywood legend. Summer draws the biggest crowds, creating a spike in airfares and hotel costs and, at the same time, many locals skip town to hit the beach. On the bright side, dozens of free open-air concerts pop up in the parks, making long summer evenings more than peachy.

As autumn sets in, tourist numbers and accommodation prices calm down, while trips to Paris during build-up to Christmas are a sheer twinkly delight.

Events for your diary

Paris city breaks promise more unforgettable moments of sporting magnificence than any other European city in 2017. Give your neck a workout at the French Open Tennis Championship in late May then look out for lycra-clad record breakers as the Tour de France rolls into Paris for its final stage on the Champs-Élysées in July.

On a more musical note, the Fete de la Musique strikes up in late June and the Jazz Festival gets going in July. Later on, Nuit Blanche is an offbeat all-night arts festival that plays out in the city streets on the first Saturday of October. It’s a whole load of left-field fun.
