From sunrise over the Seine to late-night jazz in a candlelit cellar, Paris offers the perfect escape for a long weekend. You don’t need to rush through museums or tick off every landmark—instead, let the city unfold slowly. Sit beneath a chestnut tree in the Luxembourg Gardens, follow your nose to a corner patisserie, or discover a quiet passageway where time seems to stand still. Paris rewards those who pause, observe, and stroll without direction.
A long weekend is just enough time to taste Paris without exhausting yourself. The city is vast, but its heart is walkable—with history and romance at every turn. Spring and early autumn are ideal, when café terraces bloom with life and golden light falls softly on cobbled streets. Even in winter, Paris offers charm: warm galettes, quiet museums, and rain-slicked pavements that shimmer under lamplight.

Here are five places to enjoy Paris at its most timeless, each perfect for lingering, wandering, and falling in love all over again.
