Informations
France’s capital and most populated city is Paris. One of the main hubs for banking, trade, diplomacy, fashion, gastronomy, science, and the arts in Europe has always been Paris. Temperature:
With an average temperature of 22 °C (71 °F), the warm season lasts three months, from June 15 to September 15.The four-month chilly season, which has an average temperature of 11 °C (51 °F), runs from November to the beginning of March.
Language: Naturally, French is the primary language. Because there are so many tourists everywhere, English is also spoken there. There were also Spanish, English, German, and French guests on our cruise ship. You won’t encounter any issues if you speak one of these languages.
Currency: Euro
Food Prices: Cheap Restaurant 15 EUR/person, Mid-range Restaurant 2 persons 60 EUR
We selected the cruise line Cruise Critic, and everything on the ship was excellent and cooked to the highest standards. This is the company we suggest if you want a great trip! The ship spent the bulk of its time in the Seine dock, but it also made two trips down the river, where we were treated to breathtaking vistas of the city. We included the trips in the package when the ship was in port, so we took our party on a bus tour to discover Paris’s amazing attractions.
The cost of the cruise included a few excursions, but I also bought a few extras. We saved money by ordering them through Get Your Guide and Viator (simply compare the costs). It is always cheaper to purchase vacations that span a few days or weeks, as that is what we generally advise. A Big Bus tour with a set itinerary for the city’s highlights is another option if you don’t want something too fancy and don’t have any trips included. However, you may always rent a car if you’d prefer to have as much time as possible to see the sites and don’t want to take the bus.

It was still 312 meters high at that time.

Since round-trip tickets are not less expensive, you can purchase a one-way ticket at the time of ticket availability and the return ticket at a later time.
5. A number of monuments and institutions throughout the city of light provide free admission on the first Sunday of each month. Particularly for Parisian favorites like the Louvre, these days may get fairly busy, so make sure to arrive at least 30 minutes before the opening time, or risk a three-hour wait. 6. The Paris Museum Pass is the most economical option to see everything because admission costs may add up quickly. You can visit more than 50 museums and sites in the city and its environs with the 2-, 4-, and 6-day Paris Museum Pass.
