3-5 Day Travel Itinerary: Paris, France
Paris is a city of gardens, gravel and gold all woven together in such a way that the streetscape looks as eerily beautiful in the early morning as late at night. On every corner, swagger competes with sophistication. The city equally celebrates the simplicity of clean lines with the opulence of Gothic glory. This 3-5 day Working Joe Travel Itinerary includes trip planning ideas for exploring this exciting vacation destination.
Joe and I recommend staying in the arrondissements of Palais Royal or Saint Germain. The two neighborhoods are in the center of the city’s historic district. Either of these locations will minimize time spend in transport; and give you the ability to walk to most sites.
Paris is home to some of the world’s most iconic monuments. The magnificence of the its churches rivals any other city. Jarring modern architecture bumps up against older neighborhoods that are full of charm. And, it all works; it blends and belongs. Here, the exquisite is the norm. Nothing is dull. The city takes pride in being unpredictable.
Parisians are full of themselves, but also warm to visitors. The city beckons travelers to wander and people-watch. When in Paris, down time should be planned into every outing. At the end of each excursion it is wonderful to sit in a café and take in your surroundings.
