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.

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.

From Bordeaux to Paris by train

France is known for the speed and efficiency of its trains. The TGV high-speed train will get you from Bordeaux to Paris in about 2 hours. There are approximately 19 trains per day, so check the timetable and find what suits your needs. Make sure you don’t buy tickets last minute. You can usually book around 3 months in advance, which can bring the ticket price down to €29. When buying a TGV train ticket, you can choose between three fare classes:

• Standard or second-class
• Premiere or first-class
• Business Premier

The first and second classes will provide you with all the necessities, including WiFi and power sockets. If you are looking for a more luxurious option, choose the business class.

From Bordeaux to Paris by bus

If you did not manage to grab the train tickets in advance, you can opt for the bus, another affordable and convenient transport. Bus tickets cost about the same as when you go by train, starting from €28, but the bus ride from Bordeaux to Paris takes around 6.5 hours. Several bus companies take you to Paris. Check out their timetables to find what aligns with your plans.

From Bordeaux to Paris by plane

You can also opt for a flight. It sounds like the quickest way to get from Bordeaux to Paris, as it takes you to the destination in just over an hour. But after factoring in the extra time getting to and from the airport, 2 hours for check-in and security, and all the other little delays, you're at 4-5 hours total travel time. There are multiple daily flights available from Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport (BOD) to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) and Paris-Orly Airport (ORY).

Why would you miss the opportunity to experience more of France?

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.
