Paris is a city which is impossible not to fall in love with. The people in Paris are stylish and flirtatious, its architecture seductive, its restaurants and nightlife devoted to the pursuit of pleasure and its streets are scattered with dreams.

There is no 'best time' to visit Paris; in every season the city of Paris is always alive. Summer days in Paris are spent lazing on the banks of the Seine, sipping coffee at a sidewalk café, or idling in one of the city's many gardens or forests. In autumn afternoons the brisk walk from the Eiffel Tower through the Parc du Champ de Mars and up to the glittering Champs Elysées is accompanied with a carpet of leaves crunching underfoot. Winter nights in Paris induce a warm glow ice-skating in the outdoor rink at the Hotel de Ville, and in spring the passions of performers fill the air outside the Pompidou Centre and the nose is tickled with the subtle scents of flowering gardens.

There is an otherworldliness to the city of Paris, where beauty and elegance are favoured over purpose and practicality. Centuries of urban development in Paris have the appearance of having being mastered by a single hand with a strong sense of balance, contrast and aesthetics. The views from the Eiffel Tower or Sacré Coeur reveal hundreds of iconic attractions in Paris for the snapshot visitor, but the best way to see the city of Paris is by tucking your map back in your pocket and allowing yourself to get lost on its streets and avenues, discovering the city of Paris for yourself.

However long you spend in Paris, on departure you will know you are sure to return.
