Croissants, bookstalls, and no reason to hurry anywhere. A GoSmart specialist tailors the route, the stays, and the pace to you.
Why it works
A wicker chair on the sidewalk, an espresso and a warm croissant, the smell of the boulangerie next door and the city waking up around you. In Paris the morning cafe is not a stop on the way to sightseeing, it is the point.
Worth knowing
Lean into the rhythm: a long cafe morning, a market, a park, a museum, a late dinner, rather than racing between monuments. There is rarely any rush to leave your cafe table, so slow down and enjoy it.
A simple bonjour before you speak opens every door, and menus are cheaper standing at the bar than seated on the terrace. Many museums close one day a week and are quietest at opening or on late-night hours.
Spring and fall are the classic seasons, while August empties of locals as the city slows for holidays. Pick a neighborhood to call home for the trip, the Marais, Saint-Germain, Montmartre, and let it become familiar.
