First-time visitors do well in the 1er, 4e or 6e — central, safe and walkable to the top sights.
How do I get from CDG to central Paris?
The RER B train reaches central Paris in about 35 minutes for around €11.80. Official flat-fare taxis are €56 to the Right Bank and €65 to the Left Bank.
Do I need to book restaurants in advance?
Yes for popular bistros and any Michelin-listed room, especially at weekends. Same-day walk-in is possible for lunch.
How many days do I need in Paris?
Three full days cover the classic sights; four to five let you add a Versailles day trip and a slower neighbourhood day.
Is Paris family-friendly?
Very — the Jardin du Luxembourg puppet theatre, Cité des Sciences and Bateaux-Mouches river cruises are easy family wins, and most museums are free for under-18s.
What's the best area for a luxury stay?
Palace hotels around Place Vendôme, Rue Saint-Honoré and Avenue Montaigne cluster the Michelin-starred rooms, spas and private-shopping suites.
Can I visit Paris on a budget?
Yes — municipal museums are free the first Sunday of each month, Navigo Easy transit is cheap, and the boulangerie/picnic tradition keeps food costs down.
