Paris à partir de 49 CHF Take the time to enjoy your trip

Autumn is coming to Paris. Imagine yourself strolling beneath the golden trees in the Tuileries Garden, sipping hot chocolate in the Café des Deux Moulins, or keeping warm in one of the many galleries in Saint-Germain. Pause and take in how vibrant displays transform every street into an artist’s canvas.

These days, the trend is for ‘slow’ travel. Explore your destination entirely at your own pace, far from mass tourism. And it all starts with your journey.

Taking your time

Taking the train means taking your time: letting yourself be lulled by the sway of the train, taking in the view, listening to your favourite podcast, or watching your favourite series. Today, you can take your time and simply enjoy the present moment for CHF 49.
