What's on in Paris

  1. Late May to early June

    Roland-Garros

    The French Open brings two weeks of clay-court tennis to the Bois de Boulogne. Tickets for the show courts are prized, so ask your concierge well in advance.

  2. 21 June

    Fête de la Musique

    On the summer solstice the whole city becomes a stage, with free concerts spilling out of courtyards, squares and café terraces until late.

  3. 14 July

    Bastille Day

    France's national day opens with a military parade on the Champs-Élysées and closes with fireworks over the Eiffel Tower, best watched from a well-placed terrace.

  4. Late September to early October

    Paris Fashion Week

    The womenswear shows fill the city with exhibitions, pop-ups and people-watching, and the city's grand addresses book out accordingly.

Paris through the seasons

  1. Spring (March – May)

    Blossom along the boulevards

    Chestnut trees and café terraces come back to life, and the gardens of the Tuileries and Luxembourg are at their best for unhurried city walks.

  2. Summer (June – August)

    Long evenings and Paris Plages

    Daylight lingers past ten, the Seine banks turn into promenades and beaches, and August offers a quieter, more local city as Parisians head south.

  3. Autumn (September – November)

    La rentrée and gallery season

    The cultural year restarts with major exhibition openings, fashion week and golden light over the Seine, arguably the most Parisian months of all.

  4. Winter (December – February)

    Illuminations and museum days

    Christmas windows on Boulevard Haussmann, skating rinks and low-season access to the Louvre and Orsay make winter a rewarding time for an apartment or townhouse stay.

All 41 villas in Paris

Every home in Paris that can be booked with Smiling House, as a plain list.

Smiling House also offers a concierge for private chefs, transfers, ski instructors, yachts and cars, a VIP Club with first access to new residences and member rates, chalets for sale in the Gstaad region through its real estate division and instantly bookable homes with live availability.

The Area

Paris rewards those who wander. The Seine threads through the heart of the city, linking the Right and Left Banks and lending its quays to long, unhurried strolls. Grand landmarks anchor every view, from the Eiffel Tower to the Gothic silhouette of Notre-Dame on the Ile de la Cite. Each arrondissement carries its own character, whether the literary cafes of Saint-Germain, the bohemian lanes of Montmartre beneath Sacre-Coeur, or the leafy avenues of Auteuil. Manicured green spaces such as the Luxembourg Gardens offer calm between sightseeing, while the Champs-Elysees and Avenue Montaigne supply the city's couture pulse. It is a place where art, history and fashion converge in a single, walkable whole.

Where to Stay in Luxury Villas in Paris

Smiling House offers a curated collection of luxury villas and apartments across the city's most desirable quarters. The 6th Arrondissement suits those drawn to Saint-Germain's bookshops and bistros, while the 8th places you among grand hotels, embassies and flagship boutiques. The 16th Arrondissement and neighbouring Auteuil offer a quieter, residential elegance with handsome Haussmann facades and proximity to the Bois de Boulogne. The 13th Arrondissement and the 11th near Pere Lachaise appeal to travellers seeking a more local, creative rhythm. Whichever address you choose, our concierge team arranges the details, from airport transfers to restaurant reservations and private guides, so your stay feels considered from arrival.

Things to Do

Begin with the essentials: ascend the Eiffel Tower for sweeping views, then lose an afternoon among the masterpieces of the Louvre, home to the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. The Musee d'Orsay, set in a former railway station, gathers the great Impressionists, with Monet, Degas and Van Gogh under one vaulted roof. Wander Montmartre's cobbled streets to Sacre-Coeur, drift through the Luxembourg Gardens, and admire Notre-Dame from the Ile de la Cite. A Seine river cruise reveals the city's landmarks from the water, particularly at dusk. Couture shopping along the Champs-Elysees and Avenue Montaigne completes the quintessential Parisian day.

Dining & Nightlife

Paris is a gastronomic capital with range to match. Michelin-starred Le Meurice serves refined French cuisine within its namesake palace hotel, while Septime in the 11th turns sustainable produce into inventive, minimalist plates. L'Avenue on Avenue Montaigne draws a stylish crowd, and Le Comptoir du Relais delivers seasonal bistro classics in Saint-Germain. For something casual, L'As du Fallafel in the Marais is a beloved institution. After dark, sip expertly mixed cocktails at the legendary Bar Hemingway in the Ritz, watch the sunset from rooftop Le Perchoir, or settle into the glamour of Le Bar du Plaza Athenee. Belleville's La Bellevilloise brings live music and a more bohemian energy.

When to Visit

Spring, from April to June, brings blossom to the gardens and pleasantly mild days ideal for walking. Early autumn, September and October, offers similar comfort with thinner crowds and the buzz of Paris Fashion Week, when the city becomes the centre of the design world. Summer is lively, peaking around Bastille Day on 14 July with fireworks and a parade on the Champs-Elysees, and the Fete de la Musique filling the streets on 21 June. Winter is quieter and atmospheric, with festive lights and museums at their calmest. October's Nuit Blanche keeps galleries open through the night for an all-hours celebration of art.

Getting There

Paris is among the best-connected cities in the world. Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) handles long-haul and international arrivals, roughly forty-five minutes from the centre, while Paris-Orly (ORY) is convenient for shorter European routes. High-speed TGV and Eurostar services link the city directly to London, Brussels, and major French and European cities through stations such as Gare du Nord and Gare de Lyon. Within the city, an extensive metro, RER and bus network makes getting around simple, though much of central Paris is best explored on foot. Our concierge can arrange private transfers and chauffeured cars so your journey from airport or station to villa is seamless.
