Paris Holidays

As the global centre for art, fashion and culture – this French capital is a must-visit. Snap a selfie next to one of the 1,803 monuments such as the Arc de Triomphe and the jaw-dropping Sacre-Coeur Basilica, also known as the ‘Sacred Heart of Paris’. Or, channel your inner shopaholic and hit Champs-Elysees where luxury brands such as Givenchy and Yves Saint Laurent await.

Paris has a romantic reputation and is often dubbed the ‘City of Love’ for its UNESCO-protected skyline, candlelit restaurants and idyllic allure. Home to many famous faces including big-name designer Coco Chanel, army leader Joan of Arc and astrologer Nostradamus, walk in the footsteps of these French idols.

You can’t forget about the city’s major highlights, there’s the world’s most popular museum the Louvre, the 19th century Eiffel Tower and the gargoyle-filled Notre-Dame Cathedral. The surrounding vistas are impressive too with the River Seine floating through this flawless hotspot.
