Questions & Answers about Traveling from Montreux to Paris

Paris is fairly safe for a European capital and incredibly safe compared to American cities. You will need to take all the typical precautions, like keeping an eye on your belongings, avoiding secluded alleys, and being aware of common scams.

Yes, most restaurants and shops will accept credit and debit card payments. It is always wise to carry some cash though, just in case you are in a smaller store that doesn’t take cards. France uses the euro. For the best results, only take cash out at ATMs that are attached to banks, not freestanding on the streets.

You have several options for traveling between Montreux and Paris: the train, a bus, or with a private car. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Consider price, timing, and how flexible you’d like your departure and arrival times to be.

A bus is your cheapest mode of transportation from Montreux to Paris. Tickets can cost as little as €56 if booked far enough ahead of time. Check if you qualify for a discounted ticket as a student, person of retirement age, or with a disability.

Paris is infinitely popular and a massive city. Even if you spent a week here, there would still be more to see. Make a list of the main attractions you’d like to see and the events you’d like to go to. From there, make a broad outline and see how many days you’ll need.

Plenty of high-speed trains connect cities all over Switzerland to Paris. While it is always good advice to book your train tickets early, the connections between Switzerland and Paris are quite frequent, and you can usually find a last-minute spot right from the station.

Things to do when you get to Paris

Paris is the kind of city you have to visit again and again, so don’t worry if you don’t get to everything on your list—it’s a great excuse to visit next year. But for your trip from Montreux to Paris, add these hotspots to your itinerary.

### The City of Lights after dark Paris isn’t called the City of Lights for nothing! If you have enough energy left after a full day of sightseeing, go out for a romantic cruise down the Seine River. See the monuments light up at night, and don’t forget the Eiffel Tower has a light show every hour, on the hour, from sunset until the clock strikes midnight. ### See the classics at the Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre) What is a trip to Paris without visiting the Louvre? The Louvre is easily the most well-known art gallery in the world and among the biggest. Even if you have visited it before, its extensive collection of art and artifacts keeps people coming back for more. See the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and Venus de Milo. Be warned, though—it is popular, so book your tickets early!

When is the best time to visit Paris

While it may sound like a cliché, any time of the year is a great opportunity to visit Paris. It remains a popular destination year-round as it has for centuries. Although, the warmer months tend to draw larger crowds. If you're comfortable in bustling, sunny streets, summer gives you the chance to enjoy Paris' extended daylight and balmy evenings.

Autumn and spring have mild weather and cooler nights, with temperatures ranging from 50 to 68° Fahrenheit (10° to 20° Celsius). During spring, see the blossoming flowers in places like the Luxembourg Gardens and Tuileries Garden. And in the fall, see the same gardens give way to vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows. For a snug and intimate experience, spend the holiday season in Paris. With an array of museums, indoor events, and Christmas lights in the streets, the chill may go unnoticed amidst the city's warm ambiance.
