Top Things to Do in Paris: History, Shopping, and Culture

Take time to appreciate the cultural scene of Paris. The Domaine National de Saint Cloud is worth a detour. Additionally, Seine Musicale, one of France’s most famous performance venues, is home to an impressive lineup of performances, from ballet to theater.

If you're looking for a peaceful break, consider renting a boat on the serene lake in the Bois de Boulogne. It's the perfect way to see the city from a slower pace and enjoy its natural beauty.

For a restful night, stay at our Radisson Blu Hotel, Paris Boulogne, located near key attractions. In the morning, head to the elegant La Terrasse Seguin for brunch, just a short walk from the hotel.

Known as the City of Lights, Paris is always dazzling, but the wider region offers even more to discover. We recommend spending a couple of nights outside the city for a relaxing escape. For a perfect shopping spree, indulge in some retail therapy at La Vallée Village, an open-air shopping village with over 100 upscale outlet stores, elegant dining options, and beautiful terraces.

To add some magic to your trip, enjoy a special visit to the most magical theme park in Paris. Get the adrenaline pumping on the thrilling rides, be entertained by the captivating shows, and meet your favorite characters from beloved stories. Our Radisson Blu Hotel, Paris Marne-la-Vallée, apart from being close to this famous theme park, is also near La Vallée Village and Sea Life, Paris, an exciting aquarium where the whole family can learn all about the flora and fauna of the oceans!

No visit to France would be complete without visiting a château or two. Head to the Baroque-style Vaux-le-Vicomte and marvel at its rich history and ornate charm. It was conceived by Nicolas Fouquet, the finance minister during the reign of Louis XIV in the 17th century. Legend has it that Louis XIV was so envious of its splendour that he allegedly had Fouquet imprisoned!

For another historical experience, explore Rueil-Malmaison, where you can visit the Château de Malmaison, once home to Napoleon and Joséphine, and enjoy the scenic Impressionist Route. Le Relais de La Malmaison, a member of Radisson Individuals, is a perfect place to stay, offering a serene escape while remaining just a short distance from the capital.

The Marais district offers some of the most picturesque spots in the city. This area, with its mix of old and new, is home to fashion boutiques, vintage stores, and high-end brands. Spend your afternoon wandering around Le Marais, with its historic architecture and inviting cafés.

Food lovers will enjoy the tasty falafel on Rue des Rosiers before visiting the beautiful Place des Vosges nearby. Some say it’s the most beautiful square in Paris!  To see the city from a different perspective, enjoy a rooftop lunch or dinner at Perruche Restaurant, located at the top of the Printemps boutique near the Opéra de Paris.

To top off a magical visit to Paris, admire the elegance of the Jardins du Palais Royal. Take a reviving coffee break at Kitsuné Café, right in the heart of this urban oasis. Finally, take snaps at the iconic Les Deux Plateaux, also known as the Colonnes de Buren, for the ultimate Parisian postcard. For the best place to feel at home, our central Hotel YAC Paris Clichy, a member of Radisson Individuals offers style and comfort to your Parisian summer adventure.

They say that Paris is always a good idea! So, join the excitement and explore the vibrant French capital while enjoying a relaxing and rejuvenating stay at your chosen Radisson Hotel.
