Planning notes for Paris
Paris is a capital city with a documented history spanning over 2,000 years, originating as a Celtic settlement known as Lutetia on the Île de la Cité. The city’s architectural evolution includes the 12th-century Gothic style of Notre-Dame Cathedral, the 17th-century Classicism of the Louvre and Les Invalides, and the 19th-century Haussmann renovation, which established the current system of wide boulevards and uniform limestone facades. Historical landmarks include the Eiffel Tower.
Must-try foods nearby
- Jambon-Beurre
The quintessential Parisian lunch: a fresh, crusty baguette sliced open, spread with high-quality salted butter, and filled with slices of 'jambon de Paris' (cooked ham). - Croissant au Beurre
A symbol of French breakfast culture, the 2026 trend emphasizes 'croissants de boulanger' made with high-quality AOP Charentes-Poitou butter. - Soupe à l'Oignon Gratinée
Originally the 'soup of the poor' in the Les Halles market, this classic features slow-caramelized onions in a rich beef broth. - Steak Frites with Sauce au Poivre
The definitive bistro staple. In 2026, the focus is on heritage beef cuts like 'onglet' (hanger steak) or 'entrecôte,' served with house-made. - Escargots de Bourgogne
Plump land snails baked in their shells with a vibrant green 'beurre maître d'hôtel'—a compound butter of garlic, shallots, and plenty of fresh parsley.
When to go: The best time to visit Paris is from late April to early June or September to October, when the weather is mild and the city's parks are in full bloom or vibrant autumn color. Summer (July and August) brings heat and heavy crowds.
Local tips
- Always initiate interactions by saying 'Bonjour' to shopkeepers and servers to avoid being perceived as rude.
- Request 'une carafe d’eau' at restaurants to receive free tap water instead of paying for expensive bottled options.
- Keep your phone and wallet secured in zipped pockets or bags held in front of you to prevent pickpocketing in crowded Metro stations.
- Signal for your restaurant bill by making eye contact or raising a hand subtly, as servers will not bring it until specifically asked.
What travelers are noticing
- The opening of the new Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain at Place du Palais-Royal, a major architectural landmark designed by Jean Nouvel.
- The 'La Caverne du Pont-Neuf' immersive installation by artist JR, which transforms the historic bridge into a 120-meter-long walk-through cave.
