Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time of year to visit Paris?
The best time to visit Paris is during late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October). The weather is mild, and the crowds are smaller compared to the summer months. If you're looking to experience the city's world-class festivals or enjoy long summer evenings, then July and August are ideal, though they bring larger crowds.
How many days should I spend in Paris?
We recommend a minimum of 4-5 days to fully immerse yourself in the iconic sights of Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Montmartre. This gives you enough time to explore its neighborhoods and enjoy leisurely dinners in the city’s famed cafés. If you're interested in exploring beyond the city, consider adding another day for a day trip to Versailles or the Champagne region.
Do you charge a fee for creating a custom trip to Paris?
Yes, we charge a planning fee for curating your tailor-made Paris experience. If you choose to move forward with the booking, this fee will be fully credited towards the cost of your trip, streamlining the process. The fee ensures that we can devote ample time to designing the perfect journey for you.
What is the weather like in Paris throughout the year?
Paris enjoys a mild climate, with cold winters (average temperature 5°C/41°F) and warm summers (average temperature 25°C/77°F). Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable weather, while winter sees fewer tourists and festive holiday markets. Always pack layers as Parisian weather can change quickly!
Can you help me arrange transfers within Paris?
Absolutely! We offer private transfers, chauffeur-driven cars, and even exclusive train journeys to ensure your travels within Paris are as smooth as possible. From the airport to your hotel or a scenic cruise along the Seine, we’ll take care of your every need.
What should I know about tipping in Paris?
Tipping in Paris is not mandatory, as a service charge is typically included in restaurant bills. However, leaving a small tip (5–10%) for exceptional service is appreciated. For hotel staff, a euro or two for bellhops or housekeeping is a kind gesture.
