As an affluent traveler, you know what you want—and you're not shy to ask for it!

When it comes to accommodation, you prefer one that embodies a city's rich cultural heritage.

You should check in to The Crest Collection.
There's a reason Paris is called the
"City of Lights"
It was the birthplace of the "Age of Enlightenment," having inspired poets, engineers, scientists, and philosophers in Europe. It's no wonder that many travelers who visit "La Ville-Lumière" leave quite inspired, as well.
Sights & Sounds
Walk in the shoes of France's national chanteuse at The Musée Edith Piaf (5 Rue Crespin du Gast), which can be found in two rooms on the 4th floor of an apartment that the singer once lived in. If you're into avant-garde art and architecture, visit Villa La Roche by Le Corbusier (10 Square du Docteur Blanche), and be treated to a spatial experience where expect space, perspective, and light come together to create a one-of-a-kind three-dimensional effect.
Impressionist and post-Impressionist fans would love Musée Marmottan Monet (2 Rue Louis Boilly), where Monet's pieces, along with those of Berthe Morisot, Edgar Degas, and Alfred Sisley, are on display.

Marvel at the private collection of Édouard André and Nélie Jacquemart at The Musée Jacquemart-André (158 Boulevard Haussmann), which was first opened to the public in 1913. If you lean towards modern art pieces, head to Palais de Tokyo (13 Avenue du Président Wilson), which is the largest museum in France that houses temporary exhibitions of contemporary art.
A trip to Paris wouldn't be complete without seeing a cabaret or burlesque show. Swing by Le Lido (116 Avenue des Champs-Élysées) and be mesmerized with show-stopping acts decked out in costumes worth thousands of dollars (those feathers, rhinestones, rich fabrics, and top quality furs don't come cheap!) Feeling a bit more risqué? Drop by Crazy Horse (12 Avenue George V), where trained nude performers, along with jugglers, magicians, and mimes, entertain the crowd.
Eat & Drink
Step back in time (to the 1400s, to be exact) at Auberge Nicolas Flamel (51 Rue de Montmorency), found in the city's oldest stone house. The menu, which features dishes like foie gras, veal, lobster, and even vegetarian options, changes according to what's in season. Experience traditional French cuisine at Le Coupe Gorge (2 Rue de la Coutelliere), a 113-year old restaurant now headed by Michelin-starred chef, Julien Stefanizzi. While you're there, don't forget to take home some of his infamous nougat!

Have a quiet, cozy meal at Benoit (20 Rue Saint-Martin), the only Parisian bistro with a Michellin star. Opened in 1912, Benoit has the quintessential "bistro" feel that many cafes try—and fail—to replicate.
Cheese lovers must visit Barthélemy, Saint-Germain-des-Prés (51 Rue de Grenelle), a 40-year old fromagère that carries more than 200 varieties of cheese—most of them made with raw milk. Cheese varies with what's in season, and priced according to age. Expect to drop some serious dime for cheeses that have been aged for up to 18 months.

Have a nightcap at Harry's New York Bar (5 Rue Daunou), which has been making perfect cocktails since 1911. Ernest Hemingway, Coco Chanel, Rita Hayworth, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein were only some of the many poets, writers, and celebrities who frequented the watering hole.
Delve deeper
Explore the Seine with Bateaux Mouches, a company that offers guided tours. You can even book brunch, lunch, or a romantic dinner on the water! Learn all about French wines at Les Caves du Louvre (52 Rue de l'Arbre Sec), where visitors can concoct bespoke wine. Created by King Louis XV's private sommelier, Les Caves du Louvre also houses barrels of wine made from 15 different grape varieties.
Shopping is definitely a must-do in Paris, and you can't go wrong with Quartier de Passy (Passy Plaza), Porte Maillot, and Boulevard Hausmann. If you're traveling with kids, bring them to Musée en Herbe (23 rue de L'Arbre-Sec), a children's art museum that often has art exhibits and workshops for kids, in the style of Picasso and Chagall.
