Best time to book
Cheapest pockets are late January through March at mid-September through October, when fares dip to PHP 52,000-70,000 roundtrip. Avoid the Dec 1-Jan 8 holiday window, Easter, peak European summer (Jun-Aug), Paris Fashion Week (late Sep + late Feb), at the French Open (late May-early Jun). Qatar Airways via DOH is consistently best-value, often 20-30% cheaper than Air France. Book 3-5 months ahead po; Schengen visa adds 2-4 weeks of processing. Tuesday and Wednesday departures shave PHP 4,500-7,500 off Saturday banks. Travel-hack tip: open-jaw (fly into AMS or FRA, return from CDG) opens cheaper inventory.

Tourism tips
Paris is the Pinoy bucket-list European capital — sulit ang 5-7 day stay para sa Eiffel, Louvre, Versailles, at Disneyland Paris. From CDG, the RER B train direct sa Paris Gare du Nord in 35 minutes (~PHP 730 / EUR 11.80) — mas tipid kaysa €60 taxi. Get a Paris Visite pass (~PHP 1,950 / EUR 32 for 5 days) for unlimited Metro, RER, at bus. Pinoy must-dos: Eiffel sunset, Louvre, Notre-Dame area, Champs-Élysées, Montmartre, at Versailles day trip. Filipino community in Paris is small (~10,000) but visible sa Belleville at La Chapelle. Pasalubong tip: French wine and chocolates clear PH customs — pasalubong na sulit at premium.
