Early Paris

Paris was once a fishing town due to its rich waters and natural protection from the surrounding mountains. It was founded by a Celtic tribe in the 1st century BC but began its growth in the 4th century AD when the Roman army took control of the area.

During this timeframe, the city changed its name from Lutetia to Paris, and the area saw a rapid increase in population. Although the region endured many attacks throughout the centuries, its fortunes changed in the 11th century. Its strategic position in Europe sat along a vital trade route for traders and religious worshippers.

The rise of Paris

Due to its final success along trade routes and its exchange of natural materials such as silver, Paris had enough capital to start its rise as a European powerhouse. Gothic architecture became the latest trend. And thus, the mesmerizing Notre Dame Cathedral was born. What's even more incredible is that it still stands more than 860 years later, even after its devastating fire in 2019.

The growing population made it one of the worst-hit regions during Europe's Bubonic Plague in the 1300s. Almost one in every three locals died, and this bloodshed gave insight into what was to come next.

From 1789 to 1799, historians believe that up to 3.5 million residents were killed or injured during the French Revolution. Tensions between civilians and politicians hit boiling points as Paris's lanes remained poverty-struck while government figures continued to enjoy an easy life. It wasn't until King Louis XVI was beheaded and Parisians seized the Tuileries Palace that France began its new journey as a republic.

Recent and modern Paris

France sat at the center of World War II, and in 1940, German forces reached the streets of Paris. But despite the tragic events and vast destruction in parts of the city, it still retains its cobbled streets and historical buildings decorated in the distinctive Parisian style. Landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and the Sainte-Chapelle, dating back hundreds of years, still stand proud in the cityscape.

However, Paris blends its rich past with contemporary ideology. Its robust public transport system, including a subway and an expansion of urban parks, shows its drive to become a sustainable city. There are also plenty of eco-friendly initiatives, like car-free days, and plans to transform the nerve-racking roundabout at the Arc de Triomphe into one of the city's largest green spaces.

Travel to Paris early in the day

There are numerous reasons why Paris is such a sought-after city, but its traffic isn't one of them. Each year, Paris is given the unwanted award of being one of Europe's most traffic-congested cities. However, you'll avoid the rush hours between 8:00 and 10:00 AM and 5:00 and 8:00 PM if you set off early. Additionally, you'll have enough time to explore sites en route by starting your journey early in the morning.

Pack light

Have you ever tried hurdling an oversized bag into a train overhead storage department? Or did you ever haul luggage over cobbled lanes from a bus station far from your accommodation?

If so, you know how quickly it can sour your vacation spirit. Try and avoid this at all costs.

A useful tip for traveling light is to reduce the size of your suitcases. This way, you can only bring the essential items and keep your back, neck, and arms happy!

Prepare for Paris culture

Paris is a sprawling city that welcomes millions of visitors through its gates. As a result, many unauthentic bars, restaurants, and tours only aimed at tourists dilute your experience of the French lifestyle.

If you book Daytrip's private door-to-door service, speak to your driver. Although not a tour guide, they're English-speaking, passionate locals and have extensive knowledge you can't find in a tourist blog. If you travel by public transport, bring a pocket travel guide to learn some cultural differences and a few basic phrases.

Take an alternative route

The north of France is a relatively remote region. Although this provides magnificent natural wonders, reaching attractions can be challenging and time-consuming.

The best way to see outstanding sites is to stop along the Bayeux-to-Paris drive. Calvados Christian Drouin, a distillery home to regional apple brandy, sits outside the small town of Pont-l'Évêque and would require a day trip if you were to backtrack from Paris.

Train from Bayeux to Paris

Most people who travel from Bayeux to Paris opt for the train. It's a quick, reliable service with modern conveniences that won't break the bank.

Direct trains leave from Gare de Bayeux seven times daily and arrive in Paris at Gare Saint-Lazare around 2 hours, 20 minutes later. Several indirect trains can be more affordable and allow you to explore cities such as Rouen Rive Droite and Caen.

Carpool from Bayeux to Paris

BlaBlaCar is the primary carpool carrier. However, drivers can set their prices, so tickets can drastically vary from $10.80-$43 (€10-€40). You should expect to pay towards the top end of the scale if traveling in the summer or on weekends.

Bus from Bayeux to Paris

The bus is the least favored way to get from Bayeux to Paris. There are no direct buses between the two cities, and it can cost you more than other modes of public transportation.

First, you must catch bus number 114 from Bayeux Saint-Exupère. It only operates on weekdays, and the journey takes almost an hour since it has multiple stops en route. Tickets can be bought onboard for $4.30 (€4) per person.

Flixbus is the most common bus provider from Caen. The company offers several daily departures, costing between $10.80 and $21.75 (€10-€20) and taking around 3 hours to complete.

The entire bus trip from Bayeux to Paris will cost $15.20-$26 (€14-€24) and take 4 to 5 hours.

Ascend the Eiffel Tower

Almost everyone recognizes the Eiffel Tower, a symbol of Paris and one of the few nominees for one of the Seven Wonders of the World. So you can't say you've visited The City of Love without witnessing this man-made marvel.

Although mesmerizing from the floor, the views from the top are even more special. After you walk up or take the elevator, you'll have unspoiled views of the Parisian cityscape and the top landmarks. A pro tip is to visit during the golden hour, one hour before sunset!

Walk the Champs-Élysées

Designer lovers, get ready to shop until you drop by the world fashion capital, the Champs-Élysées! Dior, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Hugo Boss, Nike, and many more famous brands have stores along the 1.2-mile-long (2-km) avenue.

During the day, the leafy paths are buzzing, and it's the ideal time to recharge with your daily dose of caffeine in one of the stylish cafes. After some people-watching, you'll have more than enough energy to stroll to the west end of the Champs-Élysées and admire the hectic yet captivating Arc de Triomphe.

Explore the Louvre Museum

If you're a culture vulture with limited time on your schedule, exploring the Louvre Museum needs to be a priority. The gallery has one of the most extensive and prestigious collections worldwide, home to thousands of art creations, including the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. This magical setting transports you back in time, from ancient civilizations to the Renaissance and even 20th-century works in temporary displays.

If you're driving from Bayeux to Paris outside of July and August, our local driver has an insider secret for you. Visit on the first Friday of the month after 6 PM to take advantage of free entry and save yourself $18.50 (€17)!

Get lost in Montmartre

Montmartre has everything you'd associate with the French capital: brick roads, colorful villas mixed in with chic Parisian-style whitewashed buildings, and enough tasty eateries to feed every tourist who flocks to the region.

The best way to experience Montmartre is to turn off your phone and simply lose yourself in its narrow walkways. You'll uncover boutique stores off the tourist map and new bakeries yet to make it into guidebooks.

Keep roaming until you discover the towering Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris. This stunning man-made splendor showcases the best ancient Roman, Byzantine, and Neo-Byzantine architecture in one building.

Along with the blue skies, the warming climate brings a pop of color to the city. The gardens and green spaces bring colorful plants and trees to life, which you can admire in al fresco-style cafes.

Unknown to most people, August is also a fantastic time to visit Paris. The vast majority of residents take their vacation during this month, traveling south or abroad. The streets won't be empty since it's still the peak tourist season, but fewer people will be outside the significant tourist attractions.
