Paris earns its reputation one landmark at a time — the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre-Dame — but the city’s excellent rail connections also make it an easy base for day trips across northern France and beyond.
Suggested Route (5–6 Days)
- Days 1–3 — Central Paris: The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre-Dame, and Montmartre’s hilltop views.
- Day 4 — Versailles: The Palace and its gardens, an easy train ride from the city.
- Days 5–6 — Day trip: Pick from the city’s well-connected neighbours — Brussels, Strasbourg, or Lyon are all under three hours by train.
Visa & Entry Notes
France is in the Schengen Area — one visa, and Paris’s central location makes multi-country add-ons especially easy.
