When to go

Paris shuts down (and relaxes) in August, when everyone sensible is on the beach. Go in spring to see the blossom, or autumn to catch Nuit Blanche, an all-night culturefest every October.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Most international flights arrive into Charles de Gaulle Airport; but some land at Paris Orly, along with regional flights. Taxis from Charles de Gaulle to the centre cost upwards of €50; save the cash for the Champs-Élysées and take one of the regular buses or trains that run from the airports to the centre ville.
  • Trains

    Arrive in style by Eurostar if you’re travelling from London. For venturing further afield or when your feet need a break from all the wandering, make use of the 16 Metro lines and connected RER express trains.
  • Automobiles

    You’re better off without one. Many hotels charge for parking, and why risk the passion-killing traffic? Determined drivers need to steel themselves for the infamous Périphérique ring road.
  • Taxis

    Can be hailed in the street if you’re more than 100 metres from a rank (these are all over Paris and have phones if no taxi is waiting).

Budget boutique hotels in Paris

Budget boutique hotels in Paris

Paris has a (frankly well-earned) reputation for being expensive. Our collection of budget boutique hotels suggests it's not always the case — bijou boutique boltholes in Beaubourg, intimate hideaways on the Left Bank and characterful finds in the 10th and 11th, all of them chosen for style and location as much as a price tag that doesn't make you wince.

While Paris does many things well, slowing down's not traditionally one of them. Our collection of spa hotels is the exception. With treatment rooms that match the grandeur of their addresses, and pools, products and pampering aplenty, they're just the right antidote to a city that never quite stops moving.
