Curator’s statement
I never thought I wanted to go to Paris until I finally went. My husband and I are not really art museum people, and I guess that is all I thought Paris was. Boy, was I wrong. Now, I can’t wait to go back to explore more of this beautiful city.

Day 1: Explore Paris on motorcycle
Don't worry, you have a driver.
One of the most unique ways to see this city is on a motorcycle with a sidecar. Wow, it was amazing! This tour is about an hour long and takes you by all the main attractions, including the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and Place de la Concorde. We finished the evening with a steak grilled over a wood fire at Robert et Louise.
Day 2: Visit the Catacombs of Paris & see the Pyramide du Louvre at night
Gorgeous at sunset!
After having a chocolate croissant and coffee, head to the catacombs for an experience you will never forget. Although a little eerie, it is also fascinating. Be prepared to climb the spiral staircase to get back up to street level. Let me assure you, it’s worth the climb. Make sure to book this one in advance and pay the extra fee for the audio guide that will provide the history of the catacombs. Now I said that we are not museum people, but I still wanted to see the Pyramide du Louvre at night. It didn’t disappoint!
Day 3: Tour Montmartre
On our last full day, we wandered through the narrow, winding streets of historic Montmartre. If you are looking for a place to have a glass of wine and a cheese board with a view, I highly recommend Le Relais de la Butte. And, of course you can’t go to Paris without visiting the Eiffel Tower. We chose to go at night so that we could see it all lit up. If you don’t want to walk up the 674 steps to the second floor, book early to get the elevator tickets.
Need to know
Paris has two airports; however, if you start your trip in London, I recommend taking the train to Paris instead.
