Day 1: Start our tour of Paris discovering one of the most classic and bohemian neighborhoods of the city is a success. Marais is dazzling no matter where you look at it. The Place des Vosges or simply its narrow streets, look like something out of a movie and are full of wonderful stores. You can take the opportunity to visit the Carnavalet Museum afterwards and admire works of cubism at the Picasso Museum. You can also reach the Pompidou center and then go to the Ile de la Cite, which connects the two banks of the Seine. Here you will also find Notre Dame and the Conciergerie, the oldest Royal Palace in Paris.
Day 2: On your second day you should head to Montmartre, the artists’ quarter in the north of Paris. Getting lost among its bars and stores on the Butte (hill) to end up at the imposing Sacré-Coeur basilica is simply great. In the evening you can take the opportunity to attend a show at the Moulin Rouge and stroll through the red light district of Pigalle.
