Paris Day 6th: Morning – One Last Paris Sunrise
There’s something quietly emotional about the last morning in Paris. The streets feel softer, the croissants smell sweeter, and every moment seems suspended in memory.
I woke early at The Westin – Vendôme, taking one last glance at the soft glow of the Eiffel Tower from my room. it isn’t just a stop — it’s a living poem, whispering in every street, café, and garden.
Breakfast was a light cappuccino at Café Verlet, just around the corner. The aroma of freshly roasted coffee, paired with a warm pastry, felt like the perfect quiet Parisian goodbye.

Mid-Morning – Check-Out & Transfers
Check-out from The Westin was smooth and elegant. A taxi awaited to take me to Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) — about a 40-minute ride through calm, early-morning streets.
For those flying from Orly Airport, travel takes roughly 30 minutes depending on traffic. If you prefer the train, the RER B line is quick, direct, and budget-friendly.
Transport Tips:
• Taxi/Uber: ~€55–€65 to CDG | ~€40–€50 to Orly.
• RER Train: €11 (CDG) | €14 (Orly via OrlyVal).
• Private transfers: Ideal for groups or early morning departures.
