On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.





- 1.The Eiffel Tower sparkling, from Trocadéro — On the hour after dark it glitters for five minutes, and the Trocadéro terrace across the river is the place to be standing when it does. Going up is fine; watching it is better.
- 3.Notre-Dame & the island — Risen from the fire and cleaner than it's looked in centuries. Free to enter, queue moves fast — then walk the Seine-side gardens behind it and cross to Île Saint-Louis for the famous ice cream.
- 6.Musée d'Orsay — Every Impressionist painting you grew up seeing on posters, hanging in a converted railway station — and the clock-window view over the Seine as a bonus. Half a day, perfectly sized.
- 7.Sainte-Chapelle — Fifteen-metre walls of 13th-century stained glass that turn the room into the inside of a jewel — the single most stunning interior in Paris. Go on a sunny morning; it runs on light.
- 12.Luxembourg Gardens, done slowly — Green metal chairs by the fountain, kids sailing wooden boats, old men at chess — the Parisian art of doing nothing, perfected. Claim a chair, angle it at the sun, stay.
