Few cities evoke the same level of sentiment as the City of Light, the City of Love, Gay Paree. The iconography runs deep: baguettes; paint palettes; breton shirts and berets; supercilious waiters in white aprons. Most of Paris’s charms are so obvious that it hardly requires a guide to find them; the problem is how to create an itinerary in the face of its array of museums, dining spots, historical sites and independent boutiques.

First impressions: Whether you’re asking for a croissant or directions, don’t just launch straight into your request: it’s considered wildly impolite.
Banking on it: Paris’s Left and Right banks are not simply demarcated by geography: they represent different lifestyles. The Left is all art galleries and upscale cafés, the Right is more varied.
In vino veritas: Wine is the tipple of choice in Paris – in many bars and restaurants it’s cheaper than a soft drink. French people are partial to meeting for an apéro (a drink and a bite to eat) between 18.00 and 20.00.
Do your homework: Always look online or call ahead to check that the venue you want to visit is open. Most Parisian restaurants open five or six days a week but figuring out which do when is the rub.
Pick of the bunch: Paris’s pickpockets are predatory with tourists. Be particularly wary of young children bearing clipboards: it’s a distraction technique.
