Years later, in 987 CE, Paris became the capital of France, and its economy grew exponentially before the great plague killed hundreds of thousands of people in the 1300s. The city eventually recovered and began to grow anew by the 1500s, with periods of great historical significance like the French Revolution of the 1700s and the modernization of Paris in the 1800s influencing the city's trajectory and global influence.

With its monumental past, it's unsurprising that today, it is a global hub for all things culinary, fashion, and architecture. When you visit, look forward to seeing some of the most beautiful attractions in the world. For example, you can stroll down the Champs Elysees, climb the Eiffel Tower, wander through the Louvre, or tour one of the many shows and exhibitions at any of the many galleries and museums in the city. But no matter where your wanderings take you, be prepared for an unforgettable Parisian experience, enduring memories, and a whirlwind of romanticism.

Book main attractions in advance

If you're planning on visiting some of the main attractions in Paris—let's face it, who isn't if they are visiting—you must book tickets in advance.

If you book tickets online in advance, you'll save lots of time waiting in lines and see exhibitions, landmarks, theater performances, galleries, museums, and other attractions far quicker. Trust us, it's more enjoyable when you haven't spent time waiting outside or in a lobby.

Stop for sightseeing

The road from Le Havre to Paris will bring you past some of the most significant sights in France, from Monet’s Garden at Giverny to the inimitable Palace of Versailles. When you ride with Daytrip, you can easily visit these sites to enrich your trip and stretch your legs - something not possible with any other transportation option.

Keep an eye on your belongings

Unfortunately, no matter where your travels take you, you must keep an eye on your belongings. In Paris and in many of the towns and cities along the way, many pickpockets prey on travelers.

Often, pickpockets will try to approach you with items for sale, lost possessions, or to sign petitions, and while you're distracted, another will steal your belongings. So, remain vigilant, and you should have no issues with criminals.

Dress like a Parisian

When traveling to Paris, it's a good idea to dress like a local (so skip the cargo shorts and sandals with socks). Many of the attractions in Paris and along the way can be explored on foot, so comfortable, understated clothing and shoes will keep you from looking too much like a tourist, making your travel experience safer and you less likely to be taken advantage of in terms of local pricing.

Learn some French

Paris has an elitist reputation, and it's not entirely unwarranted. Learn some basic French phrases like bonjour (good day), merci (thank you), and parlez-vous Anglais? (do you speak English?) and you'll find your stay in the city tres bien!

From Le Havre to Paris by bus

A bus trip isn't glamorous, but it doesn't need to be if you're on a budget and need to get from Le Havre to Paris. Typically, three bus lines operate trips between these two cities. They include FlixBus, BlaBlaCar Bus, and RATP Metro.

Each bus line offers similar ticket pricing, but you can expect to pay between $21 and $29 one way. These trips usually take about two hours and 46 minutes, and most are direct, so you won't encounter stops or transfers. However, Flixbus only operates trips twice daily, while RATP Metro offers trips every ten minutes.

It's important to note that most buses leave in the afternoon, so check the schedule and timetable of the coach line you choose to be sure when you can travel.

From Le Havre to Paris by train

For many people, traveling by train is the preferred public transportation option. If you're of that mindset and want to travel by train from Le Havre to Paris, the SNFC train line offers multiple trips daily from early morning to late evening.

The train trip is often direct, taking about two and a half hours to travel from Le Havre to Paris. Train trips are more expensive than the bus though. Expect the fare to cost between $52 and $89 one way. You should also note that a train leaves every hour.

From Le Havre to Paris by private car transfer

The fastest, most comfortable, convenient, and cost-effective way to travel from Le Havre to Paris is by private car. Unlike with a taxi, you can expect a pleasant travel experience filled with exciting conversation, comfortable seating, and accommodating drivers who understand your passion for travel.

With Daytrip, your English-speaking driver will bring you door-to-door and help with your luggage. And unlike driving yourself, you won't need to worry about traffic, mapping the route you need to drive, or finding parking when you get to Paris.

And unlike public transportation, with a private car stopping along the way is easy. Stop at the Chateau de Bizy, Claude Monet's Garden at Giverny, or the Palace of Versailles to enrich your travel day. You'll also likely love that our fare starts at 73 euros per person.

Admire the Arc de Triomphe

The Arc de Triomphe might not be one of Paris's most popular travel destinations, but it's worth a spot on your bucket list. This triumphal arch is a monument honoring French soldiers and generals who fought for their country during the bloody Napoleonic Wars and the French Revolution.

It can be found at the western end of the famous Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Not only is it beautiful to look upon, but it also has an eternal flame that honors all the fallen soldiers who could not be named. It's free to visit, but a paid ticket is needed to go on the observation deck.

Get lost in the Louvre Museum

Alongside the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre Museum’s glass pyramid is one of Paris’ most iconic landmarks. It’s also home to one of the world’s finest art collections.

In its extensive collection, you’ll find some masterworks like Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, and the ancient Greek Venus de Milo. This magical setting is a must-visit for art enthusiasts and history buffs, offering a journey through time, from ancient civilizations to the Renaissance. You could easily spend a day (or more!) roaming its halls, discovering masterpiece after masterpiece.

Fall in love on a Seine River cruise

Some might say Vienna is the most romantic city in the world, but they probably haven't been to Paris. If you're traveling with a significant other and a romantic experience like no other, you need to book a Seine River cruise.

These cruise excursions give visitors an unparalleled look at Paris. They allow visitors to see some of the most famous Parisian landmarks, including the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and Notre Dame Cathedral.

What's more, many different types of tour cruises are on offer, with some only being an hour long. We recommend a sunset cruise tour if you want to see these landmarks at the golden hour while enjoying a scrumptious dinner!

However, you should note that the cheapest time to travel to Paris from Le Havre is in the winter, from early December to the end of February. It's considered the off-season because of Paris's harsh winters, but it's the perfect budget-friendly time to visit if you don't mind bundling up.
