First stop, Paris. If you would like to experience the local Parisian life and enjoy a lot of local cafes, clubs and restaurants stay in Montmartre area. It’s also near the tourist spots and train stations!
From the Airport (CDG) you can take a train to Paris. Maximize your visit and get a 2 or 3 day Paris Pass so you can go around the city with no fuss! You can buy it in any of the train stations.

Try it! It’s fun to do! I learned how to people-watch.Beef Carpaccio Salad with Fries and Rose wine -Best Lunch and Jet-Lag cure ever!I can’t get over the cafes and bars! Just walk around Montmartre and you’ll see a lot of these!
Moulin Rouge – It’s just along a major road and usually there are a lot of cars in the morning. I suggest visit it at night with all the lights turned on!
Along the way to the cathedral of Notre Dame, you will see a lot of people selling old books, posters, and postcards! Good for souvenirs.Paris view from Sacre Montmartre!Sacre Coeur Montmartre
Look for this restaurant, the line is worth it! We had a good brunch and it’s relatively cheap, around 13-15 EUR so not bad!
