And if you’re contemplating turning your showroom trip into a minibreak (you really should), we’ve put together an itinerary for our favourite way to spend 24 romantic hours in the capital:
24 Hours in Paris
Parisian Beginnings:
There's nothing that sets you up for a day of sight-seeing like a good breakfast. La Parisienne Bakery is an award-winning spot (Grand Prix for the best baguette in the city!) known for its artisanal bread and legendary pastries. While the interior is beautifully Parisian, seating is limited—so arrive early or be prepared for takeaway.

A City Garden:
After breakfast, grab a coffee to go and head to the world famous Jardin du Luxembourg, a 20 minute stroll away and the perfect destination for walking off your croissants. Popular with locals and tourists alike, it offers serene walking paths, elegant fountains, and the stunning Luxembourg Palace as a backdrop. Perfect for a peaceful break from the city buzz.

The Arty Neighbourhood:
A stone’s throw (10 minutes by foot to be precise) from the Jardin du Luxembourg, Saint-Germain-des-Prés is a historic and arty neighbourhood filled with cafés, boutiques, and galleries. Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots are both famous literary hangouts and would make the perfect spot for an early lunch.

The Cultural Icon:
In the afternoon, you might like to dedicate a couple of hours to the Louvre Museum. Home to thousands of artworks, including the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo, it’s a must-visit for any cultural trip to the city. Note that pre-booking tickets is recommended to avoid the inevitably long lines.

The Fine Dining Experience:
Paris is not short of a fine dining establishment or two. If you don’t want to travel too far from the centre, Alain Ducasse's two-Michelin starred Restaurant le Meurice is known for its refined French cuisine and clientele of well dressed patrons who’ve come to enjoy a certain Parisian je-ne-sais-quoi.

Eiffel Tower After Dark:
No Parisian trip is complete without a visit to the spectacular Eiffel Tower. If you’re planning ahead, arrive in time to see the tower illuminated as night falls – it sparkles for 5 minutes every hour on the hour, while its beacon shines over Paris. The perfect end to a magical day in the city of light.
