Five days in the heart of the Golden Triangle: two palace hotels a few steps from the Grand Palais, Michelin-starred tables in the Champs-Élysées gardens, and private escapes on the Seine and above Paris.
Where to stay

- Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel — An 18th-century residence on Place de la Concorde, a ten-minute walk from the Grand Palais: signature suites, the Sense spa, and the Nonos restaurant.
Where to dine
- Alléno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen — Yannick Alléno's three Michelin stars in a neoclassical pavilion in the Champs-Élysées gardens, moments from the Grand Palais.
- Monsieur Bleu — The Palais de Tokyo's restaurant, open onto the Seine and the Eiffel Tower: contemporary French cuisine, a spectacular dining room, and a seasonal garden.
