Little Luxe Paris: Spring Days, Golden Nights, and Iconic Adventures

Paris in springtime is basically a rom-com with better architecture.
It’s the scent of blossoms drifting down from Montmartre, café chairs migrating onto sunlit sidewalks like they pay rent there, and the soft soundtrack of La Vie en Rose floating by (or… a guy with an accordion who is absolutely committed to the bit). It’s slow mornings with a cappuccino in hand, afternoons wandering flower markets pretending you “just live here now,” and evenings when the golden light makes the whole city glow like it has a built-in filter.
This is when Paris comes alive—inviting you outside, encouraging you to linger, and gently convincing you that your real life is back home… but your best life is right here.
Here are our favorite ways to experience Paris in full bloom, the Little Luxe Family Travel way: elevated, easy, and sprinkled with just enough magic (and snacks) to keep everyone happy.
Versailles is breathtaking… and also massive. Like “we should’ve trained for this” massive.
Start early, slip into the palace before the crowds, and soak up the glittering grandeur—Hall of Mirrors, Grand Apartments, all the “how many gold leaf budgets did we have?!” moments. Then head outside, where spring turns the gardens into a perfectly manicured masterpiece.
And here’s the luxe family hack: a private golf cart. Because you can absolutely see the best of the grounds without negotiating with tired legs (tiny or adult-sized). Cruise to the Trianon Estate, catch fountains sparkling in the sun, and enjoy the kind of peaceful beauty that makes you forget you were ever in a hurry.
Perfect for: families who want the full Versailles experience—without the full Versailles step count.
Want the Versailles experience that feels a little more “exclusive access” and a little less “herd of humanity”?
This semi-private visit takes you beyond the famous rooms into the King’s private apartments—the tucked-away spaces where history happened quietly, dramatically, and with the kind of courtly side-eye we can only aspire to today. Your guide brings Louis XIV’s world to life with stories of rivalries, intrigue, and power plays… basically the original prestige drama, but with better wallpaper.
Perfect for: curious travelers who love VIP rooms + juicy history.
This one is iconic for a reason. First: Eiffel Tower summit views—the kind that make everyone go quiet for once. Paris stretches out below like a storybook, rooftops glowing in soft spring light, and suddenly you’re all having a moment.
Then: the cherry on top—a Seine cruise. Sit back, relax, and watch the city glide by: Notre Dame, the Louvre, dreamy bridges, and that “how is this real?” feeling. Bonus: it’s a top-tier break for families because everyone gets to rest while still sightseeing. Win/win.
Perfect for: families chasing “we were there” moments without sprinting across the city.
The Louvre is not a museum. It is a beautiful labyrinth where time disappears and someone eventually asks, “Are we still in France?”
With an expert guide, you get the Louvre that makes sense: the Mona Lisa (yes, she’s smaller than you expect), the Winged Victory, and masterpieces that actually become memorable because someone is telling you why they matter—not just pointing and walking fast.
Perfect for: families who want art + stories + less “where are we?” energy.
When you need a Paris reset, the countryside delivers.
Travel privately to Giverny, where Monet’s garden is basically springtime in its most extra, best form—wisteria overhead, flowers everywhere, and lily ponds shimmering like a painting you can walk through. Tour his home, soak up the calm, and then continue on to Versailles, where grand avenues and sculpted gardens round out a day that feels equal parts elegant and effortlessly beautiful.
Perfect for: romantics, nature lovers, and families who want “France beyond the city” in one gorgeous day.
There is simply nothing like Paris in the spring. It’s romance carried on a breeze, elegance around every corner, and golden light that somehow makes even jet lag look charming.
If Paris has been on your heart for years… this is your sign.
