There are numerous historic sites to visit during your trip to Paris. Holiday rentals are available near places like Sacré-Cœur, a landmark hilltop white basilica with interior mosaics, stained-glass windows and a crypt, and the Palace of Versailles, Louis XIV’s gilded palace with a chandeliered Hall of Mirrors. You could also visit Moulin Rouge, a famed 19th-century belle epoque cabaret with dinner and dancers in elaborate costumes.
Paris stakes a claim to some of the most enthralling museums on the planet. The Louvre is the stuff of superlatives. Where to look? At that carved Assyrian gate head, perhaps? At that mysterious Egyptian effigy? At the priceless Mona Lisa? Once your eyes are done darting through the exhibits there, hop to the Musee d'Orsay for more masterful pieces of impressionism. Degas, Manet, Monet – you name it, they're on the walls. Meanwhile, cutting-edge works are over in the Pompidou Centre, home to the largest modern art space in Europe.
One of the real joys of Paris is just how different each district – or arrondissement – can be. The famous Champs-Elysees runs, with its swish shopping boutiques, through the heart of the metropolis, brushing past the grand Place de la Concorde, with its babbling fountains and wide plazas, as it goes. Meanwhile, over in the 10th arrondissement, little coffee shops and art galleries are spilling out onto the quays of the Canal Saint-Martin. The Latin Quarter throbs with students following in the footsteps of Voltaire, and the ethnic eateries of the 14th arrondissement keep churning out meze and tagine and more.
There's not a single season when Paris holiday rentals don't look like an attractive prospect. Summers are gorgeous, with students sipping wine on the canals and munching on picnics in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. The season runs from June to August, bringing warm days in the 20s and plenty of sun. Autumn – in October and November – is cooler and turns the parks a gorgeous colour. Winter, running from December to March, can be romantic. It's also the time to watch the rowdy Six Nations rugby in the massive Stade de France.
Paris's defining feature is the bending Seine River. It flows through the middle of the capital, cutting it in two. Parks and green spaces line its whole length, hosting some of the most enchanting Paris holiday rentals of all. That said, to really get a taste of wilder France, you'll need to head to the outskirts. The Bois de Boulogne is accessible in the west. Once a royal hunting ground, it's now a public reserve of boating lakes and lawns. The Forest of Senart is to the south, more primeval and untouched.
The nearest airport is in Paris (ORY-Orly), located 9.3 mi (15 km) from the city centre. If you're unable to find a flight that fits your schedule, you could also fly into Paris (CDG-Roissy-Charles de Gaulle), which is 14.2 mi (22.9 km) away.
If you prefer to travel by train, Paris Gare de l'Est, Paris-St-Lazare Station and Paris Nord Station are the main stations in the area. It's easy to get around Paris by catching a ride on the metro at Les Halles Station, Louvre - Rivoli Station or Paris Chatlet-Les Halles Station.
Paris is one of the most romantic cities in the world, offering plenty of interest for couples. Holiday homes can be found near places like Sainte-Chapelle, a Gothic chapel with gorgeous stained-glass windows of biblical scenes, and Tuileries Garden, an expansive formal garden with stunning bronze and stone sculptures. You’ll also enjoy Le Marais, a fashionable district with hip boutiques and posh galleries.
