What To Do with 24 Hours in Paris
The best way to see Paris …even if you only have 24 hours!
#1: Stop at a cafe and eat delicious French food!
There are plenty to choose from. And of course, we ate pretty much everything and anything we could lay our hands on. Grab some French bread/baguette, delicious coffee, meat, and cheese platters… Stop in a shop, grab some macaroons, or just chill and Drink delicious French wine.
Oh and don’t forget – SNAILS! (a.k.a. escargot)
– If you’re like us and not sure what to do, just watch the video above for the full “how-to” from our waiter.
#2: Jump in a car with a local stylish French driver for a tour around Paris!
Our driver, Alex, with 2CVParisTour.com was great and looked the part of a Frenchman we had imagined. As we drove around, he gave us great insight into what to do in Paris, and also passed along fun facts like the Eiffel Tower is 320 meters tall. He even managed to give the car a good tune-up while driving. Was very impressive!
We drove by and dome a lot of the typical must to do Paris sights including:
- Arc de Triomphe
- Sacré-Cœur Basilica
- Eiffel Tower
- Notre Dame Cathedral
- The avenue Champs-Élysées
- The gold-domed Les Invalides
Step 3: Watch the guy blowing enormous bubbles outside the Louvre
Don’t forget to watch for a while, and maybe participate a little bit, it’s such good fun and hard to walk away from!
While you’re there, take a few pictures with the Louvre and glass pyramids as well… People prefer this one more, I liked the bubbles better 😂
#4: Eat another delicious meal
The French have great food, so just keep eating. It’s ok… You’re in Paris!
#5: Take cheesy pictures in front of the Eiffel Tower
There are things in life you just have to do, a cheesy Paris Eiffel Tower pic is one of them. 👍
Step 6: Sit on the steps while watching the sunset behind the Eiffel Tower
Let’s face it, you’re in Paris. The Eiffel Tower is the main attraction. Don’t forget to relax and enjoy yourself and take in the city. We recommend sitting outside on the steps across from the tower and grab a beer from the local guys who are (i think illegally) selling them out of buckets filled with ice.
Fun Fact: Cant read a menu? Open up Google translate and click the camera icon… It will open up your camera and auto-translate the words for you right in front of your eyes (no need to type it in).
