In this brief article we’ll take a look at the top three best short trips from Paris that you can make during the course of one day, either around the city or into the nearby outskirts. Since there’s so much to do and see in the vicinity of the famous city, having a large number of short day trips is a great way to see as much as possible without wasting too much time on the road. Traveling families will find all three of these short day trips to be fun, satisfying, and much less of a hassle than backtracking across France repeatedly.
The first of our best short trips from Paris is the river Seine. This river actually runs through the city, but is very long, wide, and slow-moving. Recreational boating is a very popular event along the Seine, and nothing is more relaxing than packing a picnic somewhere out in the country and either basking on the sandy banks, floating along in a rowboat with your lover, or even taking a guided tour through the canals of Paris. The Seine offers a good variety of fun and history for all ages, and is a great way to vacation like a Parisian. If you’re with a larger group, it’s always fun to be able to meet back in the city by taking the day to travel in by boat, and riverboats traverse over sixty percent of the river, so getting transportation is easy.
The second of the best short trips from Paris is the Champs Elysees, which is actually in Paris. Why leave the city if you haven’t seen this historic avenue yet? The world-famous street has been changing for centuries, and has become known across the globe for being the center of upscale shopping and corporate flagship stores. There are fountains, footpaths, parks, and various historic monuments such as the presidential palace for those who don’t have lots of money to spend, but those that do will find a virtually limitless number of incredible shopping experiences that are sure to pique even the most jaded buyer’s interests.
The third of the best short trips from Paris we recommend is a brief trip to Normandy, which offers much in the way of history both modern and ancient. The region is famous especially for its role in the Second World War, though it is also a popular destination for its unique cuisine, seashores along the English Channel, and quaint countryside feel and fishing villages.
