Paris is a city of layers: the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay, the Gothic stonework of the Île de la Cité, Haussmann's boulevards and the hilltop lanes of Montmartre. Each arrondissement has its own markets, bakeries and rhythm.
Beyond the Périphérique, Versailles, Giverny and the Champagne region are all within a day's reach by train or car.
