The City of Romance is so much more than its nickname suggests: think the
Gothic spires of Notre Dame; famous paintings crucial to art movements at the
Louvre; monuments reflective of political movements such as the Eiffel Tower and
Place de la Concorde; and historical bohemian culture echoed through the streets
of Montmartre. These are the attractions that make Paris the alluring hotpot that
it is. And yes, admittedly each one does have a certain subtle romantic allure.

Paris is home to two major international airports, Roissy Charles de Gaulle and
Orly. The airports are the busiest in France, and host around 90 million visitors a
year. Both offer a number of transport options to the city centre, and serve as a
gateway into the country.

Weather
Spring
There's a reason people talk about Paris in the springtime: the sun comes
back with enthusiasm as winter fades, while flowers bloom in parks and temperatures rise to a steady 20°C in May.
Summer
Summer begins in June and lasts till mid-September, with average temperatures wavering around 25°C in the daytime and the mid-teens at nighttime.
With infrequent showers, summertime can showcase the best of Paris.
Autumn
October onwards experiences cooler temperatures around 10°C, however this
is also the season when red and gold foliage makes Paris glow beautifully at
dusk and cultural festivals crop up all over the city.
Winter
Paris sparkles with Christmas decorations long before December, but as the
winter months progress, snow falls and often settles over the garrets and
spires of the city skyline. Pure magic.

Public Transport
Metro
Paris Métro works in a very similar way to the London Underground. Five zones
connect via 16 lines, making it quick and simple for you to get around the city. Find
a paper map on the wall in each station, check out the official website before you
travel or get an app for your phone to work out your route.
A single ticket is valid for a one way trip to any Métro station in any zone. If you are
catching an RER train (regional express network which works in a similar way to the
Métro), you will need to purchase a billet Ile-de-France if you’re going outside Zone
1. It is probably better to get an International Visitors Card, which lets you travel
as frequently as you wish, with the cost depending on the length of your trip. You
can also get a weekly (Monday to Friday) Carte Orange pass if you plan on using
transport extensively.
The ticket machines only accept card payments so if you want to avoid the lengthy
queues at the ticket booth, it’s advised that you carry you debit/credit card.
Bus
Index
SURVIVAL GUIDE
Public Transport
Bus
Jumping on a bus across Paris means you can take in the city’s sights while getting
from A to B. Limited transfers from the Métro to the bus system allow you to use
a t+ ticket on a bus up to 90s minutes after your first train journey of the day.
Bear in mind that if you purchase a ticket on board the bus first, you can’t use it
for transfers on the Métro.
Buses normally stop running between 9 and 10pm, with a few night buses known
as Noctilien running after hours. The Métro also stops between 12:30 and 1am,
so be sure to plan your journey if you are staying out late.
Train

SURVIVAL GUIDE
Public Transport
Train
You can reach the outer suburbs of Paris by using the trains ‘de banlieue’
(commuter rail) via six train stations in the city. These are: Gare Saint Lazare
(western and south-western suburbs), Gare de l’Est (eastern suburbs), Gare du
Nord (northern suburbs), Gare de Lyon (northern suburbs), Gare Montparnasse
(south-western suburbs) and Gare d’Austerlitz (southern suburbs). Find ticket prices
and schedules on the SNCF website and pay for your tickets at the station.
Grandes lignes (mainline) trains can take you further afield. Travel to London,
Brussels and Amsterdam from Gare du Nord; Germany and Luxemburg from Gare
de l’Est; and Switzerland and Italy from Gare de Lyon. Book your tickets in advance
for journeys outside of Paris at the Rail Europe website.
The ticket machines only accept card payments so if you want to avoid the lengthy
queues at the ticket booth, it’s advised that you carry you debit/credit card.

Cycle
VELIB is a free bike system in Paris with stations dotted around the city. Riding
around the streets of Montmartre and beyond is the perfect way to feel like a
quirky character from French cinéma!
You will need a chip-embedded credit card to get a short-term membership, and
a €150 deposit for between one and seven days (refunded after the hire period).
A PIN and membership code will be given to you to check-out bikes for up to half
an hour each time at stations. Here you will also find maps of the city, which show
the different VELIB docks where you can return your bike.
Cycling around is fairly easy. There are many bicycle lanes, including one that
runs alongside the beautiful Seine River. If there is not a dedicated lane, cycle in
the bus or taxi lane and look out for painted bicycle symbols on the road.
Beauvals

SURVIVAL GUIDE
Airport Transfers
Beauvals Tille Airport
Beauvais Tille airport is situated near the city of Beauvais in Tille, northnortheast of Beauvais. It is about 80 kilometres away from Paris – something
to bear in mind when booking your trip. This is mostly a budget airline airport,
with Ryanair flying in from various European destinations. While it is further
out from the city centre than other Paris airports, there are still plenty of
transfer options on offer.
You can take the train to Paris Gare du Nord or go via shuttle bus to a terminal
next to Porte Maillot in Paris which is a station on the Paris Metro line in the
north-west of the city. The ticket for the shuttle costs €17, however you can
get a discount if you book online (€15.90) and children under 3 years travel for
free. The shuttle service leaves between the two terminals at the airport and
will take about 1h 15 minutes to get to the centre of Paris.
Orly

Airport Transfers
Orly Airport
The smaller of the two airports in Paris, Orly serves over 27 million passengers
every year. The Orlyval light rail connection transports passengers to Antony
station, which takes around eight minutes, where they can travel directly to Paris
on the RER. The Orlybus shuttle takes 30 minutes and runs throughout the day.

Charles de Gaulle Airport
The larger of the two Parisian airports, Roissy Charles de Gaulle, is one of the
busiest in the world, and has two train terminals taking passengers into the city.
It costs around €9.50 to get to the centre and takes 30 minutes. There are a
number of cheaper bus services available that take slightly longer.
Chalons
Index
SURVIVAL GUIDE
Airport Transfers
Chalons Vatry Airport
Some budget airlines fly into Châlons Vatry Airport, which is located to the
North East of France. There isn’t any shuttle at the moment, so your best
bet is to take a train from Châlons-en-Champagne station, around
20 minutes away from the airport.
Your train will arrive into Paris Gare de l’Est, and will take just over an
hour and a half.
currency
Index
SURVIVAL GUIDE
Currency and living costs
Paris adopted the Euro in 2002 and although the city has a reputation for top-end
goods, you can still stretch your holiday cents here.
Metro transport is very affordable; a book of 10 tickets will cost you
approximately €10. Attractions average about €7 to €9 for a museum/gallery visit,
while refreshments range from €6 for a sandwich and coffee, to between €15
and €20 for a three course meal. Eating out prices vary according to where you
sit (or stand) and should include taxes and service already, but you might want to
reward good service with a 5 - 10% tip.
Some banks in Paris may exchange foreign money, but it’s best to aim for one
of the dedicated exchange bureaux found in tourist areas, and take ID with you.
You can also withdraw from an ATM using a credit or debit card. Commission is
usually charged for both methods.

art galleries, you will find work from other
greats like Michelangelo, Eugène Delacroix
and Jacques-Louis David, as well as antiquities
from Egyptian mummies to Greek ceramics
in the museum. It’s not all about the Grand
Gallery though - don’t miss the constant supply
of temporary exhibitions and the Bois de
Boulogne for a more modern art fix, a major
contemporary gallery opened in 2014 by the
Louis Vuitton Foundation.

The Eiffel Tower
Who would have thought that over 317 metres
of latticed iron could be Paris’ most famous
symbol of love and liberty? Designed by
Gustave Eiffel in 1889 and built to celebrate
the centennial of the French Revolution, the
Eiffel Tower soars up into the sky above the
Seine, no less impressive today than it would
have been to 19th century eyes.
Take the lift (or 704 steps if you’re feeling up
to it!) and enjoy panoramic views of the French
capital like no other. Quench your thirst at the
top with a chilled glass of Champagne - even
better at dusk when La Tour glimmers into
golden light. This is essential Paris for newbies
and seasoned travellers alike.

Arc de Triomphe
Make your entrance into the city
monumental, by walking through the
world’s biggest triumphal arch, L’Arc de
Triomphe. Built between 1806 and 1836, the
49.5 metre arch honours those who fought
for France during the Napoleonic wars.
Standing at the western end of the Avenue
des Champs-Elysées, you can take the
carefree approach and run the length of the
avenue, before climbing the monument’s
40 stairs - if you have enough breath! - for
a stunning panorama of Paris. You could
always jump in a cab and drive through
the gateway at night or, for the definitive
experience, pay a visit on Bastille Day
(July 14th) when a colourful parade and
fireworks take over this part of the city.

Notre Dame
The Gothic grandeur of Notre Dame Cathedral
has dominated the eastern part of the Ile
de la Cite for over 800 years. Tough enough
to survive the French Revolution and WW2
occupation, its stained glass windows and
gargoyle-protected towers made the perfect
setting for Victor Hugo’s hugely popular novel,
The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

sounds from South Tower as you gaze down at
the serpentine Seine river. Best of all, exploring

Champs-Elysées
A Parisian rite of passage, stroll down this
beautiful broad avenue under a canopy of
trees and street lamps that glow in the twilight.
Once no more than country fields, Avenue des
Champs-Elysées was built in 1616 to guide
citizens from the Tuileries (now the Louvre) to
the main square, Place de la Concorde. Today,
‘La Plus Belle Avenue du Monde’ (the most
beautiful street in the world) still gets you from
A to B if you wish, but you could always pause
for a while at fountain-adorned Jardins des
Champs-Elysées, or explore The Petit Palais
museum. Also a great opportunity for a spot of
shopping and a nice bite to eat, festive-minded
visitors should turn up on New Year’s Eve for
one heck of a street party!
Address
The Avenue des Champs-Élysées is a boulevard
in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, 1.9
kilometres long and 70 metres wide, which runs
between the Place de la Concorde and the Place
Charles de Gaulle, where the Arc de Triomphe
is located.

Tango on the Seine
A swift dance by the River Seine at twilight
is always going to be a romantic affair, no
matter if you’re a tango pro, or have never
danced before. One for the summer months,
you’ll find all ages at this ritual dance-for-all
on the left bank at Quai Saint Bernard, and
plenty of opportunities to swap partners and
brush up on your steps with a local. Lindy hop,
Breton dance and Salsa are also on offer of an
evening, amongst other dance styles. Even if
you’re not taking part, the dancers are so well
turned out and the atmosphere so romantic
that it’s enough to simply observe with a good
bottle of red by your side.

Rent a scooter
When in Paris we recommend taking the
mode of transport favoured by locals, which
is of course a vintage Vespa or scooter.
Imagine zipping around the picturesque
streets of Montmarte with all the freedom that
comes with travelling on two wheels. What a
romantic way to spend the evening with your
sweetheart – wind in your hair as you take in
the beauty of the wonderful city.
This suits visitors who have limited time and
only want to make the stops that really interest
them. You’ll need to be 21 and hold a full
driving licence to rent a 125cc scooter here,
which is usually the best option, especially if
there are two of you on board. Average costs
are €45 a day and around €110 for an
entire weekend.
