When we come to Sicily we usually look for the cheapest city in Europe to fly into, spend a few days there, then hop a cheap flight over to Catania. This time it was Paris. We suggest flying overnight if you can and then do whatever you can to grab a nap. We paid an extra fee to our airBnB to get in early. We sleep usually 2-3 hours, wake up and try our best to "get on the time zone". Usually we are pretty successful and today we had no problems and don't expect any jet lag. Since bodies are still tired even if minds are not we usually do a Big Bus Tour first half day. This gives you some key first sights AND gives you the lay of the land of your city without absolutely exhausting your body. We finished with a nice on-brand French dinner at a bistro and are turning in at 10:18pm with plans to get up for our first tour tomorrow around 7am. In the meantime we got our first taste of Paris in Early Spring.
