Why this trip
Paris in May: chestnut trees bloom on the banks of the Seine, and the terraces fill up already in the morning. Anyone who carries the city as a lifelong wish, be it for a marriage proposal, a milestone birthday or a long postponed trip, does well to choose the period early. The Musée d'Orsay shows Impressionists in an old railway station, and the Notre-Dame cathedral stands for everyone looking for architecture in the heart of the city. Sacré-Cœur on Montmartre rewards with a view over the roofs, most beautiful in evening light.
The Arc de Triomphe sits at the end of the Champs-Élysées, and anyone who makes the climb sees the twelve avenues run away in the shape of a star. The periods May to June and September to October are considered favourable. As accommodation, the San Régis and the Four Seasons Hotel George V come into question. Because Paris knows many visitors, dinners and admissions are often taken early, and an occasion such as a proposal demands planning to the hour.
Once in a Lifetime discusses this schedule with you in the video call and asks which moment should be the most important.
