Untourist Guide To A Luxury Paris Apartment

Well-seasoned travelers understand that the usual tourist approach doesn't give you the true flavor of this most passionate and romantic city

. Experience Paris on your own terms: stay in a luxury apartment, and explore the city from the inside out. Here are four ways the "untourist" would choose to visit Paris.

1. Stay in a luxury apartment in Paris, not a hotel

The better hotels in Paris are undeniably elegant and comfortable. Still, they are public hotels, and are packed with traditional tourists. The untourist opts instead to rent a luxury apartment. Paris becomes your new hometown this way, and you'll experience it on a whole new level.

2. See the City of Light from the sky

Splurge on an unforgettable experience. A private driver will pick you up at your luxury apartment in Paris and whisk you off for a tour of the cathedral at Chartres and a walking tour of the town. Your VIP status allows you to scoot right past the tourist traps and long lines. From town you'll be escorted to Esclimont Castle for a hot air balloon flight complete with champagne. Dinner at the castle rounds out your very "untouristy" day.

3. Le Eiffel, close up and personal

Any visit to Paris in incomplete without a stop at the Eiffel Tower. What if you could see "La Tour Eiffel" from a whole new perspective? Your trip begins at your Paris luxury apartment, where your driver will bring you to the tower and escort you to the beginning of your VIP tour. The public is never allowed where you'll be going: you'll see the inner workings of the tower, explore a hidden bunker under the Champ de Mars, and see historic artifacts that most tourists couldn't imagine.

4. Visit the local food markets and gourmet shops

Your luxury Paris apartment comes with access to a concierge; ask him or her for information on the best local fresh food markets and foodie shops. Ask the vendors about authentic ways to prepare these local goodies, and then head back to your luxury apartment and create a meal worthy of the Food Network. You'll find everything you need in your well-equipped gourmet kitchen, and you'll feel right at home enjoying it in the comfort of your private apartment.

Think outside the typical tourist box and experience a Paris that few tourists even know exists. The journey begins when you rent a luxury apartment in Paris and enjoy all the perks and special attention that come from being a guest, not simply a tourist. Ask your rental agent for more suggestions on exploring this spectacular city.
