  • A Taste of Greater Paris
    Morning

    You won't cover Greater Paris in a day, and Disneyland Resort Paris and Versailles both need at least a day.

    If you want variety, go to Montparnasse by métro and, in front of the busy mainline station, is the Tour Montparnasse - take a trip to the top. Return to the station and take a coffee break in one of its cafés, to see Parisians going about their business.

    Back at the Tour Montparnasse, walk down boulevard Edgar Quinet. On your right is the entrance to the Cimetière du Montparnasse. An hour should be plenty of time here.

    Walk towards the Vavin metro station to the café/ brasserie La Coupole , to have lunch.

    Afternoon

    Take the metro at Vavin, changing at Réaumur-Sébastopol, to Cimetière du Père Lachaise and explore the city's other great cemetery. Spend one or two hours searching out the famous names buried here and admiring the architecture of some of the monuments. Have a coffee afterwards at a good little neighbourhood café, Le Saint Amour (2 ave Gambetta 01 47 97 20 15 Metro Père-Lachaise). From Père-Lachaise it is again just one change on the metro, at Nation, to the Bois de Vincennes, where you can spend the late afternoon in the park.
