It's very simple - it's just one RER B train to Paris, which passes many central city stations like Châtelet-Les-Halles and Saint-Michel Notre Dame. The journey to the most popular exit (Gare du Nord) takes about 25 minutes.

It might surprise you just how many Paris attractions are actually free! Many museums have no entrance fee on certain days of the month, such as Musée de l'Orangerie (where you'll find Monet's Water Lilies), the Rodin Museum and many more. Don't forget to double check on their websites to avoid disappointment. You can also enjoy the city's Fête de la Musique every June, which happens all across the city, and pay homage at Cimitière du Père Lachaise where greats such as Edith Piaf and Oscar Wilde are buried.

Les Deux Magot on Place Saint-Germain-des-Prés is the home of French philosophy so don't be afraid to snap a few pics as you order your coffee. While fancier drinks can get a little pricey, this meeting spot of all the great 20th-century thinkers is well worth a visit. For something a little more down to earth, Le Malabar on rue Saint Dominique is the place to relax. With its rustic decor of chalkboards and dried flowers, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time.

For all the coolest bars and the best nightlife in Paris, Le Marais is the place to be. Even though it's one of the oldest areas in the city, the cobbled streets of Le Marais just across the water from Notre Dame Cathedral are filled with the hottest new venues and lively bars that will have you dancing until dawn. Fancy a cosy wine bar? Rue Montorgueil is your spot! Located in the 2nd arrondissement, you'll be able to stroll back to your XL bed in citizenM Paris Opera hotel.

Rue Mouffetard is the oldest street in Paris and is the city's ultimate 'market street'. Get all your fresh fruit, veg and cheeses in the 5th arrondissement - and don't be afraid to chat to the vendors (you may get some extra goodies to take home with you!). Or for picturesque flower stalls and classic striped awnings, go to Paris' Rue Cler in the 7th arrondissement. You'll find everyone here from the butcher, the baker and the chocolate makers. Finish off your shopping trip with al-fresco coffee in one of the street's many cafes.

The 7th arrondissement - it's chic, it's elegant, it's what Paris is all about! Head to Paris' Rue Sainte Dominique for the true fashionista inside you - it's 2.5km of shopping heaven. Or if you're after one of the traditional grand magasins in Paris (the world's original department stores), Le Bon Marché on Rue de Sèvres sparkles and glistens with all the classic French designers.
