Holiday Flats Paris from Pad-A-Terre
Aside from plonking yourselves on one of the ubiquitous
London-style red double deckers (which at Pad à Terre we certainly do
not recommend), one of the best ways to familiarise yourselves with the
city during your stay at one of our holiday flats in Paris is to follow a walking-tour
itinerary. The following Paris tour has a bit of 'romantic' twist to
it. We have added transport links (if you insist) but suggest
that taking your time to walk the distance is far more
rewarding.
Set off early in the morning from your
Paris
holiday flat. Start at Métro Trocadéro on the place
for a view of the Eiffel Tower. If you are staying at one of
our Paris apartments in the 6th, you are a little closer.
Next stop, the Musée Rodin. To
get there, you can either skip down the steps, across the bridge (back
towards you Paris apartments 6th), under the tower and through the
Champ de Mars or take aerial metro line Paris 6 which passes over the
Pont Bir-Hakeim (remember Last Tango in Paris?), changing at La
Motte-Piquet Grenelle and getting out at La Tour-Maubourg.
Once at the museum, walk through the gardens to find the Jardin de
Varenne café, a perfect spot for breakfast, complete with birdsong (not
guaranteed though). That is of course if you did not already
tuck into a croissant in your Paris holiday
flat.
Hop on the no. 82 bus, on boulevard des
Invalides opposite rue de Babylone which takes you all the way to the
Jardin de Luxembourg. Get off at
the Guynemer Vavin stop and wander through the Italianate park in
search of the Medici Fountain, a favourite lovers' trysting
spot. Skirt around the Palais du Luxembourg and take one of
the roads north into St-Germain-des-Prés. From here you can
either walk back to your holiday flats Paris or if you are at one of
our Paris apartments
6th - walk! |
