Landmarks, riverside walks and long lunches: how to see the best of Paris in a long weekend without rushing.

Welcome to Paris

Paris rewards those who slow down. Over three days you can cross the Seine a dozen times, climb the Eiffel Tower at dusk and still have room for a second dessert.
This guide is organised by day, with a bistro for every evening.

    Followed this over a long weekend and it was spot on: the market morning and the late Seine walk were the highlights.

    Did this with my mother in April; the pace was exactly right and the bistro picks were spot on.
