But no visit to Paris would be complete without a sophisticated dinner cruise and a chance to savour the most delicious French cuisine while gazing at illuminations along the banks. If you really want to splash out, you can charter your own boat and invite family and friends.Of course, deciding where to eat in Paris is always a challenge. Will it be a Michelin-starred venue oozing Parisian chic, a classic bistrot serving heart-warming food or a delicate sole meunière, a high-class brasserie renowned for its seafood and regional dishes, a select wine bar serving outstanding fare? Talk it over with your guide who may well mention the legendary Train Bleu in the gare de Lyon (the station where trains to Lyon depart). Open in 1901, it’s a listed building with a magnificent turn of the century décor and food to match. At 102 eurosper person for a tasting menu, it doesn’t come cheap but it’s worth it.Whatever the meal, French wine is always a bonus, including the small local production from Montmartre and Belleville. This may be hard to find but the Champagne vineyards are only a short drive away. Now, for a last wonderful look at Paris, don’t forget a private helicopter tour with a chance to see the city spreading at your feet, the elegant avenues, the majestic buildings, the leafy boulevards, the parks and gardens and the river Seine meandering like magic under the most romantic bridges.After this grandiose panorama, the luxurious City of Lights will stay with you for ever.
