When you book a cheap flight to Paris from your local airport you will be whisked off to one of Europe's most vibrant places, a city of café culture, haute couture, romance and high art. That short Paris flight across the English Channel opens up a whole world of amazing sights, sounds and smells. Paris is a city that stirs the senses and encourages you to immerse yourself in its electrifying cosmopolitan atmosphere. The charming streets and boulevards of Paris play host to the fascinating daily routine of Parisian life. As you stroll past fancy boutiques selling the latest fashions, cars rush by with honking horns, shoppers breeze past laden with bags, the smell of fresh bread drifts from restaurant doorways and the clinking of coffee cups in cafés causes pecking birds to suddenly take flight. Paris bears witness to such wonderful sights and sounds each and every day.

Flying to Paris
A cheap flight to Paris takes just over an hour from the UK. You can fly with a large range of scheduled and low-cost airlines which depart from airports across the country. From the airport you can also hire a car, but only do that if you are planning to travel out of the city because driving in Paris is difficult and unnecessary.

What to do in Paris
Not only does Paris have tremendous culture and a modern European forward way of thinking, it also has a wonderful history and fascinating heritage. There are also tonnes of great sights in Paris, including of course the world famous Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the beautiful gothic cathedral of Notre Dame, all of which are just at the other end of a short flight. Paris has a reputation as an extremely cultured and bohemian city, which has been the home of many of the world's great artists, writers and musicians. It is perhaps fitting then that arguably the world's most famous painting, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, is housed in the dramatic surroundings of the dazzling Louvre art gallery and museum. Even the cemeteries of Paris have become attractions in their own right, as they present a haven of peace and quiet amid the hustle and bustle of the city. The Père-Lachaise cemetery attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year to wander among the grave stones and tombs of some of the most eminent former residents of Paris, including Frederic Chopin, Edith Piaf, Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison.

Modern Paris has also become a fantastic family holiday destination thanks to the hugely popular Disneyland Resort Paris. A massive entertainment complex, Disneyland Resort Paris features thrill rides, family-friendly shows, restaurants, bars and shopping malls. This is also a good opportunity to book a cheap holiday package to Paris.

Where to stay in Paris
As you might expect Paris has a great range of chic boutique hotels and beautiful historical hotels. Hotel rates are among the highest in Europe, but it is still possible to get a good deal if you do a hotel comparison search before you arrive. There are many beautiful areas of Paris to stay in and if you are close to a Metro station you will have no problem getting to the major sights. Booking a Paris flight is just the start, once there you will have some amazing experiences.
