Paris Travel Essentials: Paris Holiday 2025-2026 Completely Revised Edition!
The evolution of a steady seller that has been loved for 10 years!
We've compiled everything you need for your trip to Paris, from basic concepts to advanced information.


Customized itinerary suggestions based on your travel style and region!
A complete guide to the drastically changed public transportation system in Paris!
A special page about famous landmarks, including the reopened Notre Dame Cathedral!

"Paris Holiday" is a sensual guide to the emotional city of Paris.
It's been nearly 10 years since the first edition came out.
It has undergone several revisions over a long period of time and shows a more evolved appearance.
In particular, this comprehensively revised edition provides a detailed analysis of the changes in Paris' public transportation.
As the use of paper tickets ends in 2025, the use of Navigo cards has become very important.
You also need to learn how to issue and recharge a mobile transportation card using your smartphone.
Simply digging around in blog posts has its limits. Even using AI chat GPT isn't enough.
It is important to grasp the basic concepts clearly through a well-organized book and then put them into practice yourself.
Knowing just a little bit will make your trip much easier.
This is why it is essential to read the Paris Holiday guidebook at least once before your trip.


The first half of the "Paris Holiday" guidebook presents a bucket list of things to see, do, eat, and live in Paris.
In addition to Paris's representative tourist attractions, we introduce various ways to enjoy Paris by theme, such as walking, night views, cruises, and bicycles.
It also explains the romantic night view of Paris and the features of the beautiful Paris bridges.
Here are some of the most famous restaurants, bakeries, and dessert cafes that will make your trip to Paris even more colorful. We've carefully selected some of the best restaurants with long-standing reputations.
By following the recommended spots for sightseeing, food, shopping, and accommodations and marking the places you want to visit, you can complete the outline of your trip.
Meanwhile, the latter half of the book, in its regional section, divides Paris into 11 districts, providing guidance on how to plan your itinerary for each region.
Complete your own travel itinerary by referring to the regional characteristics and recommended itineraries that suit your travel style.
Local transportation and detailed maps are provided in detail, allowing travelers to create their own route that suits their schedule and preferences.


The detailed themed pages, which provide a detailed tour of Notre Dame Cathedral and Versailles, which reopened after a fire, are so helpful that they don't need a separate guide.
If you carry the portable "Paris Holiday" in your hand and read the brief, basic explanations while visiting the main spots, you will experience a completely different feeling than if you were just swept up in the crowds and took a quick certification shot.
The existence of a guidebook shines more when it broadens the background of a trip, rather than just providing recommendations for delicious restaurants!

A complete guide to Paris accommodations, tailored to your travel style and budget!

You're looking for a place to stay at a reasonable price on a hotel app! However, there are many factors to consider when choosing a place to stay.
Here's a clear, basic checklist of essential things you need to know when deciding where to stay in Paris.
From palace-level hotels to 3-5 star hotels, hostels, Korean guesthouses, and house rentals, we provide an easy-to-understand overview of Paris's numerous accommodations.
This luxury hotel, which recreates the living spaces of old nobles, is special and makes you feel like you are traveling through time as a king.
Also, take a look at hotels that offer clean facilities and friendly service at reasonable prices.
Meanwhile, because Paris restricts the expansion and renovation of buildings to protect cultural heritage, the condition of guest rooms varies depending on the zone even if they are of the same class.
After watching "Paris Holiday" and learning about the characteristics of accommodations in each district from the 1st to the 20th, you will be able to make smarter reservations.
