The iconic French capital city, Paris, is world famous for many reasons. Alongside its breath-taking architecture, culture and art, Paris has been at the heart of the country’s most famous historic events, including the 18th century French Revolution. The city today combines this proud history with a modern elegance - its vast expanse is divided by the River Seine, which has created two natural islands: the modest Île Saint-Louis, and the central, medieval Île de la Cité. The city is simply too expansive to cover in its entirety on foot, so book car rental from Charles de Gaulle Airport and enjoy the visual treats on offer.
La Rive Droite, or the Right Bank, is home to some of Paris’s most celebrated buildings and attractions. The area is famous for its theatre and arts – here you can take in a show at the Palais Garnier opera house, and bask in its ornate décor. Explore the city’s art exhibitions and pay a visit to the Centre Pompidou, and the iconic Musée du Louvre. To escape the hustle and bustle of central Paris, hire a car from Charles de Gaulle Airport. Visit Parc Naturel Regional Oise, a magnificent expanse of over 200 square miles, which is home to both stunning serenity and countryside, and an amusement park dedicated to one of France’s favourites, Parc Asterix, within easy reach – as is the iconic Disneyland Paris.
