Paris flights
Dubbed the City of Light, Paris has the reputation as being the most romantic city in the world. This cosmopolitan metropolis is one of the largest cities in Europe, making Paris one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
Prices for Paris flights can be broken down by season. Prices are most expensive during high season, which runs from June to September. Low season runs from November through March (except for the December holiday season) and is the least expensive. With two international airports, Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly (ORY), Paris flights are relatively easy to find any time of year. The fastest and cheapest way to get to and from Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Paris is the RER train, but you may also take buses. Orly International (ORY) is served by a southern branch of the RER-B line.
A definitive must-see when visiting Paris is The Louvre. Former home of French kings and current home of an extensive art collection, this museum boasts such paintings as the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. Other museums to see include the Musée d'Orsay and the Picasso Museum. One of the most convenient ways to see these gorgeous sites is through Carte Musées et Monuments. This pre-paid entry card gives you access to over 70 museums and monuments throughout Paris and is available in 2, 4, and 6-day denominations.
For the most breathtaking views of Paris, take the elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower or climb the steps to Basilique du Sacré-Coeur, which rests atop the highest point in the city. Ascend the Arc de Triomphe, which was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806, for the best panoramic views of Paris. Stop by Notre Dame Cathedral and take in the impressive Gothic architecture that inspired Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Paris is almost synonymous with fashion and features world-class shopping from top designer indulgences to affordable boutiques. Stroll through the Jardin du Luxembourg where Gertrude Stein traveled back and forth on her way to Picasso's studio, where he was painting her portrait. Of course, the best way to soak up French culture is by exploring its diverse, charming neighborhoods on foot. This is also the best way to find the most authentic French cuisine at restaurants and cafes. Paris flight deals are announced all the time, so check Travelzoo often.
