HOME AT FIRST ParisA Monumental Romance

Fall in Love with Home At First Paris —

Independent Apartment-based Travel

Explore the romantic City of Light via Home At First Paris independent apartment-based travel.

  Paris has evolved for 2,300 years or so, expanding outward from the original sheltered village on two islands in the River Seine. Celts, Romans, Franks, French royals, English royals, French revolutionaries, Napoleon Bonaparte, French republicans, Nazis & Vichy French, and post-war modern parliamentarians from the socialist left to the reactionary right have made Paris their place of power.

  Revolutionary ideas both influenced and challenged Parisian power politics. In its universities, in its streets, Paris’s intellectual elite found the proper conditions for experiments in art, architecture, cuisine, education, fashion, literature, philosophy, politics, science, and theater.

  Revolutionary forces shaped the medieval city into the romantic Paris we love to explore: a city of monuments, grand boulevards, incomparable art museums, parks, squares, & gardens inviting pauses and picnics, and warrens of alleys lined with boutiques, cafés, and galleries.

  The River Seine dominates the city’s geography. Its arched course bisects Paris into two distinct halves: the Right Bank and the Left Bank. The halves are fragmented into individual arrondissements (districts) comprised of unique neighborhoods. Each neighborhood has its own character, history, attractions, surprises, and charms. Each invites exploration. Each rewards discovery.

  Discover Home At First’s Paris independent apartment-based travel. To discover Paris is to fall in love.

  While public transportation makes getting around the city easy, most visitors find Paris very walkable.
