What if we took advantage of the night to walk around the most iconic places of the capital? Seeing the Eiffel Tower light up at night, crossing luminous bridges, walking the Champs-Elysées at night, these are magical scenes that may seem to date from another life for some. But it's time to remember why Paris is nicknamed the City of Light!
We then recommend you some routes worthy of the most beautiful movies. For example, you can start your night tour from the most beautiful avenue in the world. While admiring the beautiful perspective on theArc de Triomphe, you can then pass between the small and the big palace to cross the Alexandre III bridge. Be sure to be there after sunset, at one o'clock sharp: the Eiffel Tower will then light up under your eyes. As a reminder, it shines for 5 minutes at the beginning of each hour at nightfall.
Another great tour awaits you on theOpéra side. First stop on the boulevard Haussmann, the hot spot of the department stores. From there you can walk along theOpera Garnier and admire this magnificent monument by the light of the street lamps. We can then go down theAvenue de l'Opéra by turning over regularly to admire the perspective. We will then pass by various iconic addresses like the café de la Paix before joining the magnificent Place Vendôme. From there, we walk along the rue Rivoli and the Tuileries garden to finish on the Place de la Concorde, even more beautiful at night!
Another charming night stroll, this time on the side of Montmartre. From the Abbesses station, you can take the funicular to get to the foot of the Sacré Coeur. From there, you can marvel at the magnificent view over the capital. Then, we let the charm of Montmartre work: we cross the beautiful Place du Tertre, we go along the vineyards to rediscover the Maison Rose, we greet the Passe-Muraille and the bust of Dalida. Here, there will always be a scene, a detail or a spot that will catch your eye. It must be said that in Montmartre, the surprise is at every corner!
And to rediscover the historic heart of the capital by night, first go to the Louvre Museum and its pyramid illuminated at night. From there we cross the Seine to reach theIle de la Cité. A small stopover on the side of the statue of Henri IV will allow you to admire a magnificent point of view on the capital and its river. Then we pass by the Place Dauphine and the Sainte-Chapelle to reach the square of Notre-Dame. From there we admire the magnificent cathedral before being guided towards theSaint-Louis Island and its authentic charm which gives us the impression to make a real jump in time! Finally, we cross the Seine again to reach the square of the Hôtel de Ville and its illuminated façade.
For the more sporty ones who are not only looking for beautiful panoramas but also for nice sweat sessions, the rollerblading tours are back in Paris! Every Friday, we put on our skates, rollerblades, or we take our bike, skateboard or scooter to run through the streets of the capital. The route changes every week, and the rides are totally free. The departure takes place at the Montparnasse train station, from 9:30 pm. So, ready for a rollerblade ride in Paris?
