Explore the City of Paris

The Geneva Paris bus connects two historic cities, both popular tourist destinations. Each year, tens of millions visitors make their way to the iconic French capital to explore its many famous sights. Getting there by bus is a convenient way to begin your time in one of the world's best cities for holidaymakers.

Essential Sights in Paris

The Louvre Museum, with its iconic pyramid, is a must-see sight in the heart of Paris. Even if you don't explore its exceptional galleries, spending time in its courtyard and the nearby Jardins des Tuileries helps you to feel as though you have truly arrived in the French capital. A trip to Montmartre with its arty scene and wonderful panoramic views from its high vantage point is something not to miss out on, either.

Special Events and Festivals in Paris

Foire du Trône takes place from April. It is an established funfair held in the eastern part of Paris with rides and food stalls. It is popular with locals of all ages. For something a bit different, consider visiting Paris during the city's Journées du Patrimoine. Held over a couple of days each September when otherwise closed buildings are revealed to the public, it includes public buildings and historic homes which are opened to visitors.

Delicious Specialities That Make Paris Special

Flan pâtissier is typically Parisian. It's a thick custard tart often sold by the slice in the city's many bakeries, ideal for a picnic treat. Parisian bistros often provide a lunchtime formule, a set menu often with a few different choices. This is a good way to stay on budget when eating out but note that service charges will apply and drinks are usually extra. Such menus sometimes include oeufs mayonnaise, another Parisian favourite.

Things to See at the Bercy Seine Bus Stop

Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand, France's national library, is located on the other side of the river from the main public transport hub where the bus from Geneva to Paris usually terminates. You can also walk along the Seine from the Bercy bus interchange, where the riverside is much less busy than in central Paris. A 45-minute stroll along the left bank downriver will mean reaching Jardin des Plantes, a botanical garden.

Explore Paris in Three Days

Day 1: Discover the Eiffel Tower Area

Head to the Champs de Mars in the seventh arrondissement for wonderful views of the Eiffel Tower from a well-landscaped, formal garden. After this icon of Paris, walk a short distance to the Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, a less-visited institution with indigenous art from around the world. This part of the capital also contains the Hôtel des Invalides, home to the tomb of Napoleon, among others.

Day 2: Explore the West of Paris

Start your day at the Arc de Triomphe at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. From there, make your way south and west into the upmarket 16th arrondissement and the Trocadéro, an historic Parisian square full of cultural delights. In the afternoon, discover the open green spaces of the Bois de Boulogne, a former royal hunting ground and now a park. Passy, also in the 16th arrondissement, has a village-like feel, ideal for an evening drink or meal.

Day 3: Get to Know Montreuil

A commune bordering Paris, Montreuil is in the east of the city. Bas-Montreuil is a busy area but hardly visited by any tourists. It's full of artisan workshops and independent filmmaking studios. In the evening, head to Croix-de-Chavaux for its nightlife and many cool bistros and trendy wine bars.

The Passing Seasons in Paris

Paris in the spring is a delight but it can get busy. If you want to visit the main tourist sites, such as the Louvre Museum, then book in advance. In the summer, taking a Seine river cruise is a good way to avoid the crowds and cool down. Paris tends to be calmer in the autumn when its many parks still look great. A winter break in Paris also makes sense when the twinkling city lights offer a charm all of their own, especially during the festive season.
