Just following along is half the battle! Recommended courses by schedule and theme

Although it is only one-third the size of Seoul, Paris is a place where you can plan hundreds of travel itineraries according to your taste, as the saying goes, "There is something to see in Paris every 100 meters."
Travelers with different schedules and budgets cannot travel on the same course.
"Friends Paris 24~25" recommends three core courses by schedule and theme to help travelers explore Paris more efficiently.
By schedule, we suggest a 'transit/one-day business trip' for travelers who can only stay one day in Paris, a '3-night/4-day plan' for honeymoons and photo shoots, and a 'one-week plan' for those who can even do some serious shopping. By theme, we introduce 'One-week trip for art lovers', '7 ideas with young children', and 'Michelin trip for those who are serious about taste', so take a look before you start your full-fledged trip and plan a trip that's right for you.
