Not sure which activities to add to your schedule for a weekend in Paris?

For some of the unmissable sights in Paris, head over to Montmartre and the Sacré-Coeur church for a little visit with the family and fill your head with wonderful memories.

On the banks of the Seine, you can take a bateau mouche for a great trip around Paris, where you can get your fill of culture thanks to guided tours in French and other languages. On some bateaux mouches, you can enjoy a good meal at the same time as touring some of the Paris monuments. It’s even more breathtaking at night as all the sites are illuminated and the Eiffel Tower sparkles. It’s really something to see!

During your weekend or your holiday, take a walk from the Champ de Mars to the Trocadéro, climbing the stairs of the Eiffel Tower to take a look at the city of Paris and its different districts!

Because Paris is also a city of fashion as it is home to Paris Fashion Week every year, head over to some big-name boutiques on the Avenue des Champs Elysées to do some shopping! On the Champs Elysées, you can visit the newly renovated Galeries Lafayette too. The building’s architecture alone is worth a look.

Would you prefer somewhere more unusual? Take a look at the ART42 museum too, the first street art museum in France! Would you like to have a go? Graffiti workshops are available at Graffiti Paris!

Are you hiring a car when you arrive in Paris? You could use it to head of to the Château de Versailles, a historical location with innumerable state rooms, including its mirrored Galerie des Glaces!
