About Paris
Paris is France's capital city, and for centuries, has been one of Western Europe's major centers of business, history, and culture. Some of the world's greatest writers, poets, artists, chefs, fashion designers, and scholars have called Paris home because the city is not only beautiful but also inspirational. With more than two million people living in Paris, it's unsurprising that there is so much to see and do during a visit.
Historically, Paris began as a town on an island in the Seine River. It was founded over 2,000 years ago by people called the Parisii, but they didn't hold onto it for very long before the Romans captured it in 52 BCE. With the Roman influence, the town began to flourish and grow, spreading onto the surrounding riverbanks.
Years later, in 987 CE, Paris became the capital of France, and its economy grew exponentially before the great plague killed hundreds of thousands of people in the 1300s. The city eventually recovered and began to grow anew by the 1500s, with periods of great historical significance like the French Revolution of the 1700s and the modernization of Paris in the 1800s influencing the city's trajectory and global influence.
With its monumental past, it's unsurprising that today, it is a global hub for all things culinary, fashion, and architecture. When you visit, look forward to seeing some of the most beautiful attractions in the world. For example, you can stroll down the Champs Elysees, climb the Eiffel Tower, wander through the Louvre, or tour one of the many shows and exhibitions at any of the many galleries and museums in the city. But no matter where your wanderings take you, be prepared for an unforgettable Parisian experience, enduring memories, and a whirlwind of romanticism.
From Le Havre to Paris: travel tips
There are a few travel tips that can be helpful to learn if you're planning a trip from Le Havre to Paris. Although the distance between these two French cities isn't too far – 110 miles (197 km) – keeping in mind the travel tips below to ensure a hassle-free travel experience.
### Book main attractions in advance
If you're planning on visiting some of the main attractions in Paris—let's face it, who isn't if they are visiting—you must book tickets in advance.
If you book tickets online in advance, you'll save lots of time waiting in lines and see exhibitions, landmarks, theater performances, galleries, museums, and other attractions far quicker. Trust us, it's more enjoyable when you haven't spent time waiting outside or in a lobby.
### Stop for sightseeing
The road from Le Havre to Paris will bring you past some of the most significant sights in France, from Monet’s Garden at Giverny to the inimitable Palace of Versailles. When you ride with Daytrip, you can easily visit these sites to enrich your trip and stretch your legs - something not possible with any other transportation option.
### Keep an eye on your belongings
Unfortunately, no matter where your travels take you, you must keep an eye on your belongings. In Paris and in many of the towns and cities along the way, many pickpockets prey on travelers.
Often, pickpockets will try to approach you with items for sale, lost possessions, or to sign petitions, and while you're distracted, another will steal your belongings. So, remain vigilant, and you should have no issues with criminals.
### Dress like a Parisian
When traveling to Paris, it's a good idea to dress like a local (so skip the cargo shorts and sandals with socks). Many of the attractions in Paris and along the way can be explored on foot, so comfortable, understated clothing and shoes will keep you from looking too much like a tourist, making your travel experience safer and you less likely to be taken advantage of in terms of local pricing.
### Learn some French
Paris has an elitist reputation, and it's not entirely unwarranted. Learn some basic French phrases like bonjour (good day), merci (thank you), and parlez-vous Anglais? (do you speak English?) and you'll find your stay in the city tres bien!
How to get from Le Havre to Paris
So you want to travel from Le Havre to Paris but don't know how to get there? Fear not, as we've shared a few of the best transportation options available. Some options might be more appealing than others, so choose the transportation that suits your needs best.
### From Le Havre to Paris by bus
A bus trip isn't glamorous, but it doesn't need to be if you're on a budget and need to get from Le Havre to Paris. Typically, three bus lines operate trips between these two cities. They include FlixBus, BlaBlaCar Bus, and RATP Metro.
Each bus line offers similar ticket pricing, but you can expect to pay between $21 and $29 one way. These trips usually take about two hours and 46 minutes, and most are direct, so you won't encounter stops or transfers. However, Flixbus only operates trips twice daily, while RATP Metro offers trips every ten minutes.
It's important to note that most buses leave in the afternoon, so check the schedule and timetable of the coach line you choose to be sure when you can travel.
### From Le Havre to Paris by train
For many people, traveling by train is the preferred public transportation option. If you're of that mindset and want to travel by train from Le Havre to Paris, the SNFC train line offers multiple trips daily from early morning to late evening.
The train trip is often direct, taking about two and a half hours to travel from Le Havre to Paris. Train trips are more expensive than the bus though. Expect the fare to cost between $52 and $89 one way. You should also note that a train leaves every hour.
### From Le Havre to Paris by private car transfer
The fastest, most comfortable, convenient, and cost-effective way to travel from Le Havre to Paris is by private car. Unlike with a taxi, you can expect a pleasant travel experience filled with exciting conversation, comfortable seating, and accommodating drivers who understand your passion for travel.
With Daytrip, your English-speaking driver will bring you door-to-door and help with your luggage. And unlike driving yourself, you won't need to worry about traffic, mapping the route you need to drive, or finding parking when you get to Paris.
And unlike public transportation, with a private car stopping along the way is easy. Stop at the Chateau de Bizy, Claude Monet's Garden at Giverny, or the Palace of Versailles to enrich your travel day. You'll also likely love that our fare starts at 73 euros per person.
Things to do when you get to Paris
There is quite possibly nothing as exciting as visiting Paris for the first time. Getting lost in this beautiful city with its stunning landscapes, impressive landmarks, and beautiful cobblestone streets is an experience you'll remember for the rest of your life. But if you don't have much time and want to see a few of the best attractions, you'll want to add these top things to do when you get to Paris after your trip from Le Havre.
Climb the Eiffel Tower
You cannot visit Paris without exploring the Eiffel Tower, the international symbol representing Paris and France. This tower is a one-of-a-kind wonder, and there is no surprise that it's the most visited paid attraction in Europe.
The Eiffel Tower was constructed in 1887 with a spectacular wrought iron lattice and a triangular shape that no one can forget. It was originally intended to be a temporary attraction for the Paris World Fair in 1889 and be dismantled 20 years later. But because so many people visited, it was left in place and became a national landmark.
When you visit, you can admire it from the ground, or if you're not afraid of heights and want a stunning view of the city, why not climb it? There are multiple viewing platforms, each giving a sweeping view of the city below. If you visit at night, it's even more beautiful with its shimmering lights that sparkle at the top of the hour every hour.
### Admire the Arc de Triomphe
The Arc de Triomphe might not be one of Paris's most popular travel destinations, but it's worth a spot on your bucket list. This triumphal arch is a monument honoring French soldiers and generals who fought for their country during the bloody Napoleonic Wars and the French Revolution.
It can be found at the western end of the famous Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Not only is it beautiful to look upon, but it also has an eternal flame that honors all the fallen soldiers who could not be named. It's free to visit, but a paid ticket is needed to go on the observation deck.
### Get lost in the Louvre Museum
Alongside the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre Museum’s glass pyramid is one of Paris’ most iconic landmarks. It’s also home to one of the world’s finest art collections.
In its extensive collection, you’ll find some masterworks like Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, and the ancient Greek Venus de Milo. This magical setting is a must-visit for art enthusiasts and history buffs, offering a journey through time, from ancient civilizations to the Renaissance. You could easily spend a day (or more!) roaming its halls, discovering masterpiece after masterpiece.
### Fall in love on a Seine River cruise
Some might say Vienna is the most romantic city in the world, but they probably haven't been to Paris. If you're traveling with a significant other and a romantic experience like no other, you need to book a Seine River cruise.
These cruise excursions give visitors an unparalleled look at Paris. They allow visitors to see some of the most famous Parisian landmarks, including the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and Notre Dame Cathedral.
What's more, many different types of tour cruises are on offer, with some only being an hour long. We recommend a sunset cruise tour if you want to see these landmarks at the golden hour while enjoying a scrumptious dinner!
When is the best time to visit Paris?
Before you travel from Le Havre to Paris, you must know that the best time to visit is usually from March to June and October to early November. During these months, the weather is nice, and the tourist crowds are thinner, so you won't feel nearly as crowded as you would if you traveled during the peak summer season. Hotel prices are also a bit lower.
However, you should note that the cheapest time to travel to Paris from Le Havre is in the winter, from early December to the end of February. It's considered the off-season because of Paris's harsh winters, but it's the perfect budget-friendly time to visit if you don't mind bundling up.

"Asad M was an excellent driver. There was a once in a blue moon major snow storm on the day we arrived to the port. The ship was late at getting the arrival process started. Asad kept in contact with us and waited until we were finally aloud to leave the ship. It was snowing so hard that the roads were tricky. He made sure we were safe and comfortable. Once we got to Paris, he gave us insight on what to do in the city. We will use his services again the next time we are in Paris.

"Our trip with Halim was beyond our expectations from the start. He was already awaiting our arrival when we exited our ship. He greeted each one of us while taking luggage from us at the same time. He carefully loaded our mountain of luggage into the car, and checked to be sure we did not need anything from any of our luggage before we began our journey. There was water waiting in the car which we were thankful for.
Halim willingly answered any questions we had, and carried on a conversation at our desire until we the passengers, all nodded off. He so kindly announced our arrival at Monet’s Garden, personally helped each of us out of the car, and made sure there was nothing we needed before beginning our visit.
Our trip from there to Paris was just as pleasant, with Halim anticipating our every need. Upon our arrival, he not only unloaded the car, but spoke with the doorman and bellman of our hotel to be sure that we were taken care of.
I have lived in Chicago, Manhattan, and traveled all over the world… and this was by far my best experience with a car service ever. "

"Everything a client could ask for was done and then some! It was breezy and cool but he was searching for us in the crowd until he found us. There was a slight mix-up with our luggage, so he took my wife to the comfort of his vehicle and then returned to assist in translating and finding the bags.
The drive was enjoyable as he provided insights into sections of France we passed as well as advice on what we would find on items on our next two days in the Paris region and what type of timing would be required for getting to CDG on departure day. Invaluable information!
It goes without saying that both he and the vehicle were of a very high standard and well worth the cost. An exceptional value for anyone with weak French capability and a first-timer in France/Paris and great value for even a more experienced client."
