About Paris
Paris, The City of Love, has won many people's hearts. The food, the art, the fashion, there’s a lot to love about modern Paris. But this enchanting metropolis has a rich history dating back to the 3rd century BC, when it was established by the Celtic tribe known as the Parisii on the banks of the Seine River.
### The history of Paris
In 987 Paris was officially announced as the capital of France, marking a significant milestone in the city's history. Unfortunately, in the 1300s the city was affected by plague and many people were swept away. In the late 15th and 16th centuries, the Renaissance stepped in and renewed Paris. The new focus on arts, culture, and intellectual pursuits not only brought a fresh perspective to the city but also played a significant role in its revival.
In the late 1700s French Revolution took its place, but in the 1800s Paris went through a big change that made it a major cultural and economic center. It became one of the most livable cities in Europe. Paris attracted many professionals who were seeking innovation, inspiration and new opportunities: writers, artists, musicians, fashion designers, you name it.
### Modern Paris
Today, Paris continues to be the center of art, fashion, gastronomy, and architecture. From the Louvre to Fashion Week, it's a symbol of elegance and refinement, making it an attractive destination to those who appreciate culture, beauty, and artistic expression. Paris has something to offer to everyone.
From Bordeaux to Paris: travel tips
The distance from Bordeaux to Paris is around 580 km and it can take up to 6 hours to get there (depending on the traffic or the chosen means of transport), so it is best to be prepared with these travel tips to make your trip unforgettable.
Book and plan in advance
By booking popular attractions, restaurants, and accommodations in advance, you'll save money, avoid long waits, and secure reservations for your favorite spots. Keep in mind that Paris is a popular destination, especially during peak season, so make arrangements early to ensure a seamless trip.
### Be wary of pickpockets
Explore the beauty of Paris while keeping your belongings safe. Be mindful of crowded areas, popular landmarks, and metro stations. For extra safety, you can keep your valuables safe using anti-theft bags. Watch out for any distractions, as pickpockets tend to use special techniques to draw your attention away.
### Dress appropriately
Although it might be tempting to wear cargo shorts, sandals with socks (we know, it's comfortable), or a stereotypical beret, most native Parisians don't wear these. Instead, go for a more subdued look to fit in with the locals. By blending in as a local, you'll reduce the likelihood of being targeted by pickpockets.
### Add sightseeing stops along the way
As the drive from Bordeaux to Paris is relatively long, you will not want to miss out on what France has to offer on the way to your destination. Daytrip's door-to-door car service allows you to customize your itinerary and make stops at some of France's most iconic sights, including the Blaye Citadel and the Palace of Versailles. Your local driver will be happy to offer you some tips and information about the area, making your vacation even more special.

Things to do when you get to Paris
As it’s one of the world’s most famous destinations, Paris' must-see attractions are on many people’s bucket lists. It is easy to pick just a few places to visit or things to do, but these should be a part of your itinerary to explore when you get to Paris.
### Visit the Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is undoubtedly the landmark that attracts visitors from all around the world and has become the symbol of Paris. Despite its current status, many people despised Gustave Eiffel’s 300-meter-tall tower when it was built back in 1889. In fact, it was originally supposed to just be a temporary installation for the World’s Fair! But opinions quickly changed, and it has become an icon that now sparkles at every hour when the night falls.
If sitting on the lawn and getting the required travel pics isn’t enough, there are several ticket options you can choose from to see it from the inside. The viewing platforms give arguably the most iconic panoramas of Paris (we say the view from the 2nd is best).
### See the Mona Lisa (and the rest of the collection) at the Louvre Museum
You can't visit Paris without seeing the world's most famous painting, the Mona Lisa, at the Louvre Museum. Of course, the Louvre has one of the finest art collections on the planet, so outside the Mona Lisa, you can easily spend a day here admiring the countless other masterpieces.
Make sure to book your ticket in advance from the official website so you don't miss out. You can also opt for a guided tour to make the most out of your visit.
### Stroll around the parks and gardens in Paris
Paris is full of beautiful parks and gardens. If you visit Paris in the warm season and plan to explore the Louvre Museum, make sure you add the Tuileries Garden (Jardin des Tuileries) to your list, as it is located close to the museum.
### Explore Paris with a free walking tour
You can never go wrong by joining a free walking tour with knowledgeable local guides. It will give you an authentic experience and you will learn interesting facts about Paris's history and culture. There are several walking tours available, so you can choose the one that interests you the most.
When is the best time to visit Paris
Paris is a great city to visit at any time of the year, but the city is at its liveliest during the warmer months. In general, spring or fall are the best times to visit Paris. The weather is pleasant, without getting too hot; perfect for charming outdoor cafes, lush parks and gardens, and lovely walks along the Seine River. And maybe most importantly, the hordes of summer tourists haven't filled the city's accommodation and attractions!
If you're on a budget and don't mind the cold, Paris is the cheapest to visit in the winter season, from December to the end of February. If you visit in December, be prepared for a festive Christmas atmosphere!

“I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.”
“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

“We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.”
“We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable”
“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”
“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”
“Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.”
“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”
“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”
“We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.”
