When you conjure the ultimate Parisian scene in your head, do you imagine yourself sitting at an outdoor café, sipping coffee and perhaps munching on a freshly baked pain au chocolate? That image is a cliché for a reason. But don’t worry; most of us imagine the exact same thing.

Everyone wants a taste of the authentic Paris, or London, or Rome, or whichever destination you plan to visit. And there are so many guides and insider tips to getting said authentic experience that it should be a challenge to fail at it. At the end of the day, it’s your trip and you should do as you please. Don’t let fear of being “touristy” stop you.

Paris tours won’t be complete without tagging the not-to-miss items on the list. A Hop-on Hop-off Paris Pass along the River Seine is one of the best ways to do it. Get to the Paris tourist attractions of your choice in a fun, relaxed way via this boat cruise. You want to see the Eiffel Tower, Musée d’Orsay, Montmartre, and the Louvre Museum? Done. Those and many more sights are convenient stops along the river. And that’s not all; the dinner cruise on the River Seine is a fantastic way to experience the romantic nighttime view of the City of Light.

Un Peu Plus, S’il Vous Plaît

But there is so much more to France. And since you’re already in Paris, why not get a taste of the neighboring regions? Day tours from Paris abound.

• Bask in the radiance of the Sun King’s magnificent palace—and gardens, and Trianons. The Versailles day trip from Paris is quick and easy. Sitting on the western edge of Paris, Versailles is only a 75-minute drive.

• Go north and take in Normandy and the land of the châteaux. With a day trip to Mont Saint-Michel and Loire Valley, you can get your fill of castles and medieval architecture.

• If the bouquet of vineyards and the fields of lavender and sunflowers call to you, or if you just want to see what true Provençal style is (a.k.a. French country style), then answer with a Provence day tour.

• Does Mickey have a French accent? Are their castles more authentic-looking? If you’re curious about how the European counterparts match up or you just want to give the kids a reprieve from serious sightseeing, then maybe a visit to Disneyland Paris is in order.
