Why Paris for a Anniversary Escape trip
A milestone anniversary calls for the city's grand palace hotels around the Golden Triangle and Place Vendôme, where the ceremony of service is part of the celebration. Book a suite with a salon for a private Champagne toast, reserve a tasting menu at a three-star restaurant, and consider a jeweler's appointment on Place Vendôme to mark the date. An evening at the Palais Garnier or a late visit to the Louvre adds the sense of occasion that makes the trip memorable years later.
Paris set the template for the grand hotel, and it still does palace-style luxury better than anywhere: gilded salons, couture-trained service, and suites that open onto the Seine, the Tuileries or the Eiffel Tower. The city rewards travelers who want culture at arm's length, with the Louvre, haute couture houses and Michelin-starred dining all within a short walk of the best addresses.
When to go: April through June and September through October bring mild temperatures, long evenings and gardens at their best. July and August are warm and busy with visitors while many Parisians leave town, and winter is cold and gray but quieter and atmospheric around the holidays.
