Recommendation
For efficiency and comfort, I recommend taking a direct flight with TAP Air Portugal or Air France as it minimizes travel time and maximizes your time in Paris. Ensure you book in advance and check for any seasonal fare promotions. If you prefer a scenic journey through France and Portugal, consider the train, but be prepared for a longer travel time.
