Whether you are self-employed or an employee of a company, a business trip requires a certain amount of organization. From planning meetings to choosing a hotel and booking transportation, we have some tips for organize a business trip.

Take into account all the constraints of business travel

Has your boss entrusted you with organizing the next business trip? To be sure not to forget anything and to make this business trip a success, you must start by taking stock of all the elements and constraints to take into account before leaving.

What is the objective of this professional trip?

By determining the purpose of business trip, you will be able to take the right steps: reserve a meeting room or a place for a trade show, organize meetings, choose locations, days and dates…

What is the destination of the business trip?

Depending on the city or country of destination, you will be able to book transportation (nearby airport or train station),choose the hotel and work rooms, anticipate catering, and possibly plan free time between two business days. You will also be able to plan the time difference, the travel time and the type of transport (plane, car, train, etc.), adaptation to customs and local currency, the type of clothing to take and the administrative documents to be provided.

What are the duration and budget of the business trip?

Managing 2-day business trips is not organized in the same way as for a longer stay. In the same way, the budget envelope will not be the same. Have information about duration and budget will optimize time and manage expenses to save both time and money.

What are the requirements of the professional who goes on a trip?

Also take the time to find out the expectations of the person who will be traveling. This will allow you to determine the hotel standard and options, for example. Try to find out if he wants to reserve a restaurant, have breakfast at the hotel, or if he has a preference for seat on the plane or train. If the person is used to traveling for work, ask them if they have a subscription, loyalty cards, or even accommodation habits for their stay.

Anticipate transport and accommodation reservations

Accommodation and transportation represent the biggest expense in the budget for a business trip. Depending on the destination, this can also be quite a challenge, and reservations should be made as far in advance as possible. You will then need find transport and accommodation the most economical, to limit travel and accommodation costs, but also respect the budget envelope.

Travel management

Depending on the different work and meeting spaces planned during the business stay, you will need to find the modes of transport the most suitable and practical. Take the time to identify the different meeting places, in order to find the nearest airport or train station. If traveling by car, be sure to check that business travelers will have no difficulty parking.

Finally, you will still have to manage the booking plane tickets from the airline, train ticket, or car rental. Also remember to determine the comfort level of the trip (business class, second class, etc.).

Don’t forget to take into account travel times and possible connections to ensure a comfortable and optimized trip.

Hotel reservation

Once transport has been organized, you will need to choose and book accommodation. Here again, it will be necessary to take into account the different workplaces, in order to limit travel times between the hotel and the offices. But this is not the only criterion to take into consideration:

• What is the expected level of comfort (4-star hotel, apartment, etc.)?
• How many people will stay in the same room?
• Does the company have a travel policy that includes an agreement with a hotel chain?
• Does the professional have a loyalty card in an establishment?

The success of a business trip then lies in the small details. Remember to find out about the options (luggage storage, breakfast, etc.), in order to anticipate additional expense reports and unnecessary waste of time.

Good to know: to limit professional expenses as much as possible when organizing business trips, it is always more interesting to book directly on the hotel’s official website, rather than going through online travel agencies. In fact, these OTAs take a significant margin on each reservation, which inflates prices.

Gather all the necessary documents for your business trip

Once everything is booked, you will need to be organized so as not to forget anything. It is therefore strongly recommended to gather all supporting documents and professional documents and personnel which will be necessary to travel peacefully.

Depending on the means of transport, remember to bring your ID and/or passport, as well as your plane or train tickets. Depending on the country of destination, you may also need to have a visa, in which case you will need to anticipate the demand before your professional mission.

Practical advice: gather all your documents in a folder, so you can easily find them. And for even greater security, we recommend that you keep a copy of your documents on digital media, or even several. This could be particularly useful if you lose your pouch!

Finally, as part of a business trip, it is always appropriate to have business cards on oneself, so that they can be easily transmitted to colleagues during professional meetings.

Prepare the suitcase: think about the professional without forgetting the staff

The last thing before going on a business trip is to prepare the suitcase. If you are organizing the trip for your colleague or superior, you can then draw up a small checklist for them so that they don’t forget anything. The challenge is to successfully combine personal business and professional essentials.

First choose the type of luggage, remembering that the most practical thing is to to pack light (cabin suitcase, hand luggage, etc.). Then, if the trip is by plane, remember to check the airline requirements (sharp objects, liquid containers, baggage size, etc.).

In your suitcase, remember to take everything you need to work: documents, computer, phone, tablet, as well as all the chargers that go with it. On the personal side, go to the essentials by taking into account the weather and the equipment already present at the hotel (hairdryer, towels, shampoo, etc.). The objective is then to choose outfits suitable for events(meeting, gala, etc.) without overloading the suitcase.

With its appearance of small villages, its cobbled streets and its many artists, the district of Montmartre exudes incredible charm. But the Butte Montmartre, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, is even more pleasant to visit in good weather. Summer is therefore the best time to enjoy Montmartre .

The Sacré-Coeur, the focal point of Montmartre

When we talk about the Montmartre district, everyone obviously thinks of the hill, on which rests the sublime monument of dazzling whiteness: the Sacré-Coeur basilica . It must be said that this masterpiece of the 19th century astonishes and attracts, with its Romano-Byzantine style architecture, but also with its astonishing color and its dome installed 83 meters above the ground.

Then take the Montmartre funicular , or climb the small cobbled streets, to reach this monumental religious building. From up there, you can admire a breathtaking view of Paris, and take advantage of the lawns of the Louise Michel square to make yourself comfortable.

Inside the place of worship is the largest mosaic in France, while the huge square tower houses the largest bell in France.

Anecdote: the Montmartre hill is the highest point in Paris, at 130 meters above sea level.

The village atmosphere in the heart of Paris

Montmartre is above all a lively district , where the cobbled streets guide you to the top of the hill, passing through small corners that look like small villages. Finally, we find the rural atmosphere in which the district has almost always been immersed. Because, barely 2 centuries ago, Montmartre was only a vast hillock, on which were erected 12 mills, and where the space was occupied by vines.

Even today, the district perpetuates the tradition by continuing to cultivate the vine, but also by carefully preserving 2 of these mills (Moulin de la Galette and Moulin Radet). It is from this story that the name of the famous French Cancan cabaret, the Moulin Rouge , comes to us .

Clos Montmartre wine is the only wine produced in inner Paris. Each new cuvée is celebrated in the fall, during the Harvest Festival .

In the footsteps of Amélie Poulain

Cinema lovers cannot miss the success of the film Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain. This feature film by Jean-Pierre Jeunet is an ode to Montmartre , its typical charm and its conviviality. You can then wander the streets at random to follow in the footsteps of the young Amélie Poulain, but you can’t miss the famous Café des Deux Moulins , where the protagonist works as a waitress.

Next, head to Maison Collignon , where the owner has kept both the name of the grocery store from the film, but also its ambiance. Finally, you will be able to recognize the merry-go-round in Square Willette, where Amélie has strategically set up a treasure hunt to attract Nino Quincampoix.

Montmartre artist studios

If Montmartre seduces with its atypical charm, it is easy to understand that it has been the muse of many artists since the dawn of time. We are, of course, talking about the traditional caricaturists and portraitists of the Place du Tertre , but not only. Artists have always enjoyed meeting up in neighborhood cafés and workshops, to give free rein to their talent and imagination.

The district has seen the parade of many renowned artists, such as Modigliani, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Renoir, and even Manet. Would you like to learn more about these great painters? Head to the Musée de Montmartre , and if you love Dali’s surrealist painting, head to the Musée Dali , where an entire gallery is dedicated to the artist.

Anecdote: you will find many of these great artists in the cemetery of Montmartre .

Gastronomy and romantic restaurants in the heart of Montmartre

If you want to take the time to completely immerse yourself in this warm and relaxed atmosphere of Montmartre, sit down quietly on the terrace of a bistro, and savor the moment. At the Rendez-Vous des Amis or the Café des Deux Moulins , we will be happy to serve you a little coffee or a well-deserved aperitif.

When it comes to restaurants, the district is not to be outdone either. Then take a break while climbing the Montmartre hill, and take a seat in a restaurant serving traditional French cuisine, the best addresses of which are undoubtedly À la Bonne Franquette , rue des Saules, La Maison Rose , rue de l’ trough, and Au Cadet de Gascogne , on the Place du Tertre.

If you want to enjoy the view from the Sacré-Coeur basilica, climb to the top of the hill, and stop at Chamarré , a gastronomic restaurant masterfully run by starred chef Antoine Heerah. The rooftop of the Terrass Hotel is also not bad for a dinner with a view of Paris. You will find this gourmet bistro on rue Joseph de Maistre.

Anecdote: to end your visit in style, take the time to attend one of the Lapin Agile shows , an authentic 19th century cabaret.

If you have watched a few episodes of Emily in Paris, or if you have literally devoured the 3 seasons of this series in a few days, you have probably fallen for the magical setting in which the young American evolves. Take advantage of your stay in Paris to walk in the footsteps of the actress, discovering all the emblematic places of Emily in Paris .

Place de l’Estrapade

Let’s start our escapade in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, and more precisely at number 1 of the place de l’Estrapade . This is where young Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) and her charming neighbor Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) live. At the foot of the building, we find the fountain and the benches on which the actors often meet to discuss. You can also discover the Boulangerie Moderne , a mythical place where Emily buys her first pain au chocolat, and the Café de la Nouvelle Mairie.

On Place de l’Estrapade, there is also Gabriel’s restaurant. If in the series, it bears the name of ” Deux Compères “, in real life, it is the “Terra Nova” which invites you to feast.

Valois Square

Let’s continue to follow Emily Cooper in her daily life, heading to number 6 Place de Valois , in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. This is the address of the Savoir marketing agency for which the ambitious young American works.

In the heart of Paris, this square is very close to the Louvre Museum, but also to Place Colette. This famous square is home to the Bistrot Valois , where Savoir’s collaborators meet on several occasions in different episodes, but it is also here that the Grand Hôtel du Palais Royal is located.

The garden of the Royal Palace

From the first episode, Emily goes close to her workplace, in the garden of the Palais Royal , still in the 1st arrondissement. It is here that she will regularly take her lunch break, near the fountain, but it is also the place of her meeting with her new friend, Mindy Chen (Ashley Park). Many moments of complicity between the two friends will be filmed here, and in particular the legendary photo shoot, near the Deux Plateaux (or Colonnes de Buren).

Wanting to take full advantage of her Parisian experience, Emily will try several times, in vain, to have a reservation for the starred restaurant Le Grand Véfour , in this same park. Maybe you’ll have better luck than her?

The man’s cafe

Rich in chic and trendy events, the Emily in Paris series introduces us to the French way of life. The launch of the perfume “De l’heure”, imagined by Maison Lavaux, is one of those moments that put stars in Emily’s eyes. It must be said that the party took place in a breathtaking space, at the Trocadero. Inside the Palais de Chaillot, it is at the Café de l’Homme that you can discover the dazzling setting that amazed the protagonist.

And if you have time, the 16th arrondissement and its surroundings are also home to many tourist sites: Guimet museum, Palais Galliera, Musée de l’Homme…

The Alexander III Bridge

If you are a true fan of the Netflix series which has won over millions of viewers, you have surely noticed that the director is very fond of the bridges of Paris. The Alexandre III bridge , in the 7th arrondissement, is also at the heart of several scenes. The advertisement for the perfume “De l’heure” is thus shot on this historic monument dating from 1900. But this is not the only moment when it appears on the screen, since it is also in the background when the actors meet at the Bistrot Alexandre III , on the banks of the Seine.

Here, Emily’s boss, Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) and her client Antoine (William Abadie), come to chat after the interruption of the shooting of the advertisement for the Maison Lavaux perfume.

The Evreux hotel

Among the many events in which the young Emily participates, there is the reception of influencers, organized by the cosmetics brand Duration. This event takes place in the 1st arrondissement, on the famous Place Vendôme , and more precisely in the Hôtel d’Evreux .

Recognized for its luxury boutiques and jewelry stores, Place Vendôme appears many times in the series, but also in many films shot in Paris.

The Workshop of Lights

Spectators from all over the world have the chance to discover part of the immersive exhibition around the works of Van Gogh. For that, just watch the episode where Emily, Gabriel and Camille (Gabriel’s girlfriend) meet at the Atelier des Lumières . We then see the actors strolling through the digital exhibition, and soaking up the many paintings of the artist, in particular La Nuit Étoilée .

Do you want to discover this digital art center? Meet at 38, rue Saint-Maur, in the 11th arrondissement.

But if you want to approach the capital from a different perspective, there are many unusual activities to visit Paris . Here are 8 ideas for amazing outings to do with family in the capital .

Take an original means of transport to visit Paris

During a classic visit to Paris, tourists walk a lot. And if the distances seem too long, the option of the metro, bus, RER, bicycle, or even taxi, is preferred. But why not get off the beaten track by visiting Paris aboard a more unusual means of transport? We are not talking here about the traditional open-air tourist bus, but rather a Tuk Tuk, or even a sidecar.

Visiting Paris by Tuk Tuk is undoubtedly an unforgettable and unusual experience. It must be said that this small vehicle, which can carry up to 6 people, is particularly practical for sneaking through the small streets of Paris, and thus discovering more atypical places in the city.

For an unusual experience, you can also choose to visit Paris in a sidecar . The 2 passengers can then also circulate easily in the small streets of Paris, and discover all the secrets of the capital.

Discover an artists’ squat in the heart of Paris

In Paris, art is everywhere! But if you want to live an immersive experience in the heart of artists’ studios , go to 59 Rivoli , in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. In this 6-storey building, artists of all kinds live, work and exhibit their works, to the delight of visitors for whom access is completely free.

Street art lovers can also discover the FAT (French Art Touch) , a bar in the 3rd arrondissement that showcases urban art. Sit down around a good cocktail or a craft beer, and live a unique experience in an eclectic setting where artistic events follow one another (graffiti artist, tattoo artist, DJ…).

Visit an unusual museum

If you are enjoying a family stay in Paris, visits to unusual museums are the best activities to interest young and old alike. So, after discovering the unmissable Parisian museums, such as the Louvre or the Musée d’Orsay, go to more amazing spaces, for a fun experience:

• The Museum of Illusion;
• The city of Science ;

Whether you are with friends or family, the escape game is the ideal unusual activity to spend a convivial moment. In Paris, it is possible to make the moment even more amazing, by participating in original escape games, in the streets of Paris or indoors.

The open-air escape game is the perfect opportunity to discover the history of Paris and its different districts, while having fun. Le Libre Promeneur invites you to approach the major districts of Paris from another angle, with different themes, such as Montmartre, the Covered Passages, or the Ile de la Cité.

Discover Paris in virtual reality

Paris is huge, and full of secrets that are not always accessible to the general public. So, to afford the chance and the curiosity to access forbidden places, why not turn to virtual reality ? This is what offers, for example, Flyview, Viality Tour, or Illucity. Live an unforgettable moment during an unusual visit to Hidden Paris , and travel through space and time.

Relive the construction of the Eiffel Tower, go behind the scenes at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, or fly over the pyramids of Egypt without ever leaving the Virtual Room. This is the perfect activity for traveling without getting tired, or for keeping busy in rainy weather.

Explore the forest of Fontainebleau by dog sled

After a few unusual visits to the heart of Paris , the desire to get some fresh air in large green spaces is sometimes felt. So, rather than settling for a classic walk in the Luxembourg Gardens or the Champ-de-Mars Park, why not continue with an unusual experience? The dog sled ride in the forest of Fontainebleau is the ideal activity to create good memories and experience strong sensations. Evasion Canine then invites you to climb on a kart, and let yourself be guided by the dogs!

Book the only table in the restaurant “La tête dans les olives”

The discovery of Paris necessarily involves the discovery of French cuisine. In terms of unusual outings around gastronomy, we often think of the culinary activity. But this time, we suggest you have lunch or dinner in a single restaurant , since it only has one table , for a maximum of 5 people.

Remember to book several months in advance, to be able to discover the Sicilian cuisine of this restaurant which also does groceries, and experience the privilege of being at the center of chef Cédric Casanova’s concerns.
