Paris is more than a destination — it's a state of mind. The city that gave the world haute cuisine, impressionism and the concept of the boulevard packs more culture per square kilometre than almost anywhere on earth.
Whether you have a single afternoon or a full week, Paris rewards those who slow down. The grand monuments are unmissable, but it's the hidden courtyards, the Sunday markets and the hour spent watching the Seine that make it permanent.
