What better time to experience the charm of Paris and its many attractions than during autumn? (Kevin Jiner via Unsplash)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The sweltering heat of summer is finally giving way to cool, crisp air and a change in the leaves. There\u2019s a sweet melancholy to fall in Paris, something that can only be rendered in person as the city enraptures you by its fiery orange and maroon hues. If you find yourself overwhelmed by the wonder of it all\u2014the distinct smell of the Paris metro, the winding streets decorated with local bakeries, and the guttural cadence of French natives\u2014New York Habitat has the perfect tour guide to accommodate your stay in the City of Lights. Our vacation rentals in Paris <\/a> are conveniently located near the city\u2019s most coveted gastronomy, fashion, and art attractions for a classic immersion in French culture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Enjoy a cultural mainstay: The French Caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\"Start\n\t

During your stay in Paris, do as the Parisians do and enjoy the refined artform of people watching on the last few warm days of summer. Caf\u00e9 de la Paix<\/strong> (between the Boulevard des Capucines and the Place de l\u2019Op\u00e9ra, 9th Arr.), declared a historic site by the French government in 1975, is a tourist landmark heralded for its architectural grandeur<\/strong>. Known as a former writing hub for novelists like \u00c9mile Zola, this cafe is the perfect spot to indulge your inner philosopher over an espresso.<\/p>\n

The recently restored Notre-Dame cathedral<\/strong>, which tragically made the news after the unprecedented 2019 fires, is now open for visitors to enjoy and rediscover in person. After taking in its grandeur, enjoy a coffee at Aux Tours de Notre-Dame (\u00cele de la Cit\u00e9, 4th Arr.), where you can take in a lovely view of the iconic monument.<\/p>\n

Revel in the remnants of the Roaring Twenties<\/strong> and enjoy a fresh pastry and caf\u00e9 cr\u00e8me at Caf\u00e9 de Flore (on the corner of Boulevard Saint-Germain and Rue Saint-Beno\u00eet, 6th Arr.) or Les Deux Magots (Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s, 6th Arr.), two iconic cafes across from one another known for hosting some of the most influential writers, artists, and musicians of the 1920s: Albert Camus, Ernest Hemingway, Simone de Beauvoir, and Jean-Paul Sartre. Other popular caf\u00e9s include The Hemingway Bar and Fouquet\u2019s, a cafe that doubles as a restaurant and hotel overlooking the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Have a sweet tooth? Complement your coffee pilgrimage by visiting the Salon du Chocolat<\/strong>, a yearly trade fair hosted in Paris-Porte de Versailles (usually held between the end of October and the beginning of November). Celebrating its 30th birthday in 2025, the festival is a chocolate lover\u2019s paradise on earth and one of the largest gatherings featuring chocolatiers from across the globe. Treat your eyes and palate to a variety of chocolate expressions. Fear not calorie counters; you\u2019ll have plenty of time to walk off your chocolate excursion!<\/p>\n

A leisurely stroll through the world\u2019s most famous parks and cemeteries<\/strong><\/p>\n

After you\u2019re sufficiently caffeinated, take a stroll through Paris’s biggest park, Jardin des Tuileries, located within the Place de la Concorde on the banks of the River Seine<\/strong>. The iconic park is positioned between the Louvre and Champs-Ely\u00e8es Avenue, making this an ideal photo op. A marvel of French-style landscaping, the gardens were formerly royal property to the Tuileries Palace<\/strong>, and the park is home to two museums: Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay<\/strong> and the Jeu de Paume<\/strong> museum.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the Louvre<\/strong>, no Paris trip is complete without exploring the renowned district. New York Habitat has several furnished apartment<\/strong> listings available within minutes from the iconic museum.<\/p>\n
