Walking through Paris

Paris, the city of lovers, has so much to offer that one trip is never truly enough. The minute you get off the plane till you reach your station, you’ll notice huge movie posters that welcome you amidst a rush of people of several nationalities. At the airport, you’ll even notice some Indian shops from Pondicherry. Later, while at a café on the metro station, if you’re lucky, you might spot fearless fat pigeons that come and sit right on your table and peck at your food! Back onto the metro, you’ll probably feel the weather dip suddenly when you stop at La Chapelle, where there are sudden weather changes, sometimes up to 12 degrees.

A grand day out – Paris

There’s something rather satisfying about stepping off the train at Gare du Nord with just a handbag – there’s no need to haul a suitcase on to the Métro, nor need you trek across town to an hotel. The fun starts immediately. But where do you start? With so much to see and do, it might seem impossible to get around in a day. The trick is to choose a few sights and activities that aren’t too exhausting and to pace yourself – the last thing you want is to be flagging by 3pm, when you won’t get home until late.
