Paris in the springtime
Paris makes a great destination for a springtime break and the pink cherry blossoms, usually flowering in late March/early April, will add a bit of colour to all those photos you’ll take! We recommend starting your day with a brisk stroll along the Seine River and indulge in a bit of petit dejeuner at a café to fuel your exploration. In the office we have ‘pastries Friday’ but, with no disrespect to the bakers of St Neots, everyone knows they don’t quite match the fresh, buttery, croissants, and pains aux raisins in Paris.
Harry, who works in Finance so normally expects someone else to buy the pastries, is the colleague who most recently visited the French capital. Here’s some of his itinerary; he’d never been before so it’s full of the big hitters:
- Visit the Eiffel Tower and enjoy a picnic in Champ de Mars Park.
- Experience the vibrant atmosphere of Marché Bastille, a bustling market.
- Climb to the top of the hill to visit Sacré-Cœur and take in the views.
- Take a sunset river cruise along the Seine for breathtaking views.
- Discover iconic artworks at the Louvre, home to the Mona Lisa.
- Indulge in French cuisine at a local bistro or café – it may seem pricey but even Harry accepted he shouldn’t have visited the golden arches quite so often!
Of course, we could make dozens of alternative lists, and perhaps we’ll re-visit Paris in another blog. For now, we'll wonder where the train will take us next week.
