Paris is one of our favourite destinations in Europe; this year we had over 10 projects there. No wonder we have tons of travel inspiration to share with you. These are our go-to places to eat, sleep and drink in Paris if you are travelling with a group. Happy travelling!

A fascinating rooftop venue with a dazzling view of the Eiffel tower! www.maxims-de-paris.com/fr
L'APERO//
L’apéro - short for ‘the aperitif’ - is only one of France’s many culinary traditions. Parisians in particular, practice the tradition with great devotion and as often as possible. So, do follow their example and enjoy a pre-dinner drink with delicious nibbles at one of these special places:
10/ When the weather is nice, check out the terraces at Les Halles.
11/ Le Verre Volé
This authentic bistro just off the canal is a lively lunch spot and a great place for an evening drink in a bobo-romantic atmosphere. www.leverrevole.fr
12/ Frenchie Wine Bar
A wildly popular wine bar that serves fantastic sharing plates (just like Frenchie restaurant, which is across the street). If you want a table, make sure you arrive well before opening time at 7pm, as they don’t take reservations and once people are seated they will stay there for quite some time! www.frenchie-restaurant.com

13/ The Hardware Société
A lovely café for a hearty breakfast in Monmartre.
