Paris

Paris is easiest when you pick a bank and a few arrondissements rather than chasing every monument in one loop. The Right Bank’s Marais rewards walking between mansions, museums and small shops; the Left Bank’s Saint-Germain and Latin Quarter still hold the classic café-and-bookshop rhythm, with the Seine as the daily reset between them. Metro lines stitch the city tightly, so a central base near a major interchange usually beats hotel prestige alone.
