Richard Ayoade and Mel Giedroyc visit Paris in Travel Man.

Tuesday’s best TV: Travel Man: 48 Hours in Paris; Derren Brown: Pushed to the Edge; Stargazing Live; Stella

Travel man: 48 hours in paris 8.30pm, channel 4.

Richard Ayoade takes his desert-dry snark to France, staying at l’Hotel, the opulent site of Oscar Wilde’s death. Leaving that shrine to Left Bank literary chic, he heads for the Montparnasse tower to look at the Eiffel tower, before going on a scooter tour, eating calf’s head casserole, drinking absinthe and learning about cordon bleu cookery, fine art and bespoke perfume. Trying not to simply stand there helpless with laughter as Ayoade relentlessly undermines his own enterprise is this week’s companion, Mel Giedroyc. Jack Seale

Derren Brown: Pushed to the Edge 9pm, Channel 4

“We’ll do anything to fit in,” frets Derren, against footage of Islamic State fighters and Anonymous protesters. To enable a keener understanding of social compliance, he has orchestrated a complex setup – there’s a charity auction, and the potential for someone to become a murderer – although to reveal more would be to risk spoilers. The result is ludicrous, disturbing, timely and a great plug for special-effects team Igor Studios. Ali Catterall

Stargazing Live 9pm, BBC2

A new series of the engaging space series with Professor Brian Cox and Dara Ó Briain. Most exciting tonight is their interview with new British space celebrity Tim Peake, whom they speak to as he zooms over our heads, watching Star Wars and eating dehydrated macaroni cheese. Comedian John Bishop has a bash at spaceman training at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, and Professor Lucie Green provides tips on how to spot Peake’s giant space caravan as it soars above us in the night sky. Julia Raeside

Saved 9pm, ITV

The documentary series recalling life-or-death situations that brought out the best in ordinary Britons continues. In the case of Neville Powell and Tim Slater this meant going to the aid of Peter Langdown, a teenager who was left impaled in his seat following a car crash, but needed to be pulled out of the vehicle because of an electrical fire. We also hear from Dan Ward – whose fishing trip went badly awry when his kayak tipped over in rough and chilly waters – and his surfer rescuer, Steve Lewis. Jonathan Wright

The Secret Life of the Family 10pm, Channel 5

Debut of Channel 5’s new reality conceit, in which six families are filmed around the clock in order to present a portrait of family life in 21st-century Britain and/or inflame the passions of the online peanut gallery. The theme of tonight’s episode is chores, and, perhaps in recognition of the fact that watching people do them is even duller than doing them, the mothers are encouraged to persuade their partners and children to pitch in, with varying success. It’s narrated by Hugh Dennis, late of Outnumbered. Andrew Mueller

The Knick 9pm, Sky Atlantic

Second series of the Steven Soderbergh-directed medical drama, which combines period allure with a story of characters yearning to escape from the prejudices and limitations of their age. Clive Owen stars as Thackery, the chief surgeon at an early 20th-century New York hospital battling for more modern methods. In this opener, he has taken time out to tackle his ongoing drug addiction, leaving the Knick in the charge of his African-American assistant Dr Edwards, enraging the returning Dr Gallinger. David Stubbs

Stella 9pm, Sky1

Ruth Jones’s comedy-drama opens for its fifth series of slightly ridiculous storylines and panto-esque characters. Stella is being ridiculously tolerant of the fact that her current love interest, Michael, is fathering the lovechild of Beyoncé, whom Aunty Brenda refers to as the local Jezebel. Nadine is preparing to christen her daughter, while her dopey husband, Karl, is stuck on a train. Meanwhile, there’s a new undertaker in Pontyberry as Ivan Schloss (Fresh Meat’s Tony Gardner) comes to town. It’s pleasant comfort telly. Hannah Verdier

Brent Biscoe, Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton in A Simple Plan.

Film choice

A Simple Plan (Sam Raimi, 1998) 11.40pm, BBC1

Three rural guys – Hank (Bill Paxton), his slow-on-the-uptake brother Jacob (Billy Bob Thornton) and the latter’s redneck friend Lou (Brent Briscoe) – find a crashed plane containing $4.4m in a snowy wood. Their simple plan – to hang on to the loot and say nothing – leads to one death after another as inevitably as retribution in Greek tragedy. Raimi’s intelligent thriller is an original, with the brothers’ loving but stunted relationship at its aching heart. Paul Howlett

48 Hours in Paris: The Ultimate Itinerary

travel man 48 hours in paris

Jacques Loic, Getty Images 

Is it possible to really enjoy Paris in only 48 hours? It may seem a little ambitious. But if you've only got a couple of days at your disposal to explore the French capital, planning your time carefully can ensure you make the most of your visit.

Follow our suggested self-guided itinerary below to take in the best Paris has to offer, with stops at Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Latin Quarter, the hilly heights of Montmartre, a Seine River cruise, and the stylish, contemporary Marais district. You'll see both the more traditional left bank ( rive gauche ) and the contemporary right bank ( rive droite ), where students, artists, young professionals, and diverse communities live and thrive, offering you varied perspectives of the city.

The itinerary is designed to be flexible and adaptable, so feel free to change the order of the activities or even add your own. To make the most of your stay, wear a decent pair of walking shoes, and make sure you bring weather-appropriate clothes and accessories with you.

Day 1: Morning

9 a.m.:  Welcome to Paris! After arriving by air or by train, head to your hotel to unload your bags. It's recommended that you choose a hotel or other accommodations close to the city center, saving you travel time as you experience each point on the itinerary.

Your first stop is the Latin Quarter , the historic center of artistic and intellectual history in Paris and home to picturesque sidewalk cafes, winding, cobbled streets, lush parks, and handsome university buildings.

Start at Rue Mouffetard and wander up the centuries-old market street, admiring some of its old-fashioned storefronts and perhaps ordering a croissant or patisserie for breakfast from one of the bakeries in the area.

Wander past the Place de la Contrescarpe, a square popular for its sidewalk cafes, and head northeast to the Panthéon, a neoclassical-style mausoleum housing the remains of Victor Hugo, Voltaire, Marie Curie, and other great French minds. From here, turn to admire the Luxembourg Gardens and Eiffel Tower further on the horizon. Then head northwest through the narrow streets of the old quarter to admire the Place de la Sorbonne and the main facade of the Sorbonne University.

12:30 p.m.: Take a lunch break at Les Trublions , a French bistro with a friendly vibe and excellent value. Alternatively, try Baieta , a highly-reviewed restaurant serving French Mediterranean specialties.

Day 1: Afternoon

2 p.m: Your next stop is Notre-Dame Cathedral , the 12th-century Gothic marvel that for many represents the historic "ground zero" of medieval Paris. To get there, cross the Pont de l'Archeveque or Pont Saint-Michel bridge from the Latin Quarter.

From the enormous plaza (parvis), admire the Cathedral's ornate facade—boasting three portals decorated with delicate statues and carvings. Unfortunately, due to a 2019 fire that severely damaged the roof and destroyed the spire at Notre-Dame, renovation efforts are currently underway , and the interiors and towers have been closed to the public until further notice. The cathedral is expected to fully re-open for visits sometime in 2024.

3:30 pm: From Notre-Dame, head west by foot or bus to visit one of two major Parisian museums, the Louvre or the Musée d'Orsay .

Both are among the city's most impressive collections, with the Louvre focused on European (and Egyptian) art and antiquities from the ancient period through the Renaissance and the Musée d'Orsay boasting an impressive collection of impressionist and expressionist masterpieces, as well as decorative objects and sculptures.

At the Louvre, see masterpieces from Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Delacroix, Da Vinci, and Van Dyck. At the Orsay, beeline to works from Monet, Degas, Manet, Gaugin, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, and many other masters of 19th and 20th-century art. To avoid burnout, plan to spend around two hours in one or two wings of the permanent collections.

Day 1: Evening

Courtesy of headout.com  

6 p.m.: To start your evening in style, head to the Avenue des Champs-Elysées (via Metro Line 1 from the Louvre-Rivoli or Tuileries stop to the Charles de Gaulle-Etoile stop ). One of the world's most famous streets, the "Champs" (as locals call it) is lined with trees, boutiques, and cafes with terraces spilling out onto the sidewalks. In recent times, it's been a favorite site for taking in festive winter holiday decorations and markets.

Start at the upper part of the long Avenue and admire the Arc de Triomphe, a 164-foot-high arch commissioned by Emperor Napoleon I to celebrate his military victories. Take in dusky views of the monument, then head down Avenue and perhaps stop at a café for a before-dinner drink (aperitif).

8 p.m.: For dinner, you have two options, both picturesque and memorable: either take an evening dinner cruise on the Seine or have dinner at one of the Eiffel Tower's two restaurants, 58 Tour Eiffel or Le Jules Verne. Whichever you choose, make sure to book well in advance to avoid disappointment.

If you take a dinner cruise with an operator such as Bateaux Parisiens , the cruise typically begins at 8:30 p.m. and lasts for around two hours, with variable courses served depending on your budget and the chosen package. Wine, champagne, live music, and other entertainment are often part of the service, and gliding along the waters allows you to see some of the city's most iconic sites bathed in the poetic evening light.

Meanwhile, dining at the Eiffel Tower lets you admire the fine details of the tower's construction up close while enjoying panoramic vantages over the whole capital.

10:30 p.m.: Feel like a nightcap? Why not grab a drink or head to the dancefloor at one of Paris' best after-dark spots?

Day 2: Morning

8 a.m.: Welcome to day two, focusing on the Right Bank and a more contemporary side of Paris. We recommend you start early to take full advantage of your second day exploring the capital. For breakfast, either grab some pastries from a good bakery close to your hotel or at one on or around Rue Saint-Paul, the main artery in the Marais district, your first stop of the day.

From the Saint-Paul Metro stop, explore the winding streets, Renaissance-era mansions, trendy boutiques, and medieval remnants of the Marais, one of Paris' oldest areas and home to a historic Jewish quarter. Today, the neighborhood is coveted for its LGBTQ-friendly bars and clubs, fashionable stores, delicious street food, and people-watching opportunities.

There's a lot to see and do in the district, from the Paris History Museum (Musée Carnavalet; entry to the permanent collection is free) to the Place des Vosges , a 13th-century square flanked by grand townhouses with red-bricked facades.

This is also an excellent gift and souvenir shopping area, endowed as it is with artisan boutiques selling handmade jewelry and accessories, high-quality chocolate, tea and coffee, and other authentic goods.

12:30 p.m.: Strolling and sightseeing have probably left your stomach grumbling, and you're in luck—this is one of the best areas in town for lunch. If it's a sunny day, grab a mouthwatering falafel from L'As du Fallafel or Chez Hanna on Rue des Rosiers, the heart of the historic pletzl (Jewish Quarter). You can also grab a table at the nearby Chez Marianne for a full sit-down meal.

Day 2: Afternoon

2 p.m.: After lunch, catch Metro Line 11 at the Hotel de Ville or Rambuteau station, and take it to the République stop. From here, walk around 10 minutes east until you reach the Canal Saint-Martin .

Originally built as a shipping canal in the early 19th century, this is a narrow waterway lined with trees, punctuated by elegant footbridges in greenish metal, and surrounded by eternally busy cafes, restaurants, and shops.

Wander up the canal, browse its shops, and traipse across the footbridges for interesting perspectives of the area before stopping for a drink at neighborhood watering holes such as Hôtel du Nord . This is a historic cafe named after the 1928 Marcel Carné film of the same name and an important landmark in the district.

You may also be interested in stopping at Le Verre Volé , a popular wine bar on an adjacent street. It's an ideal spot for a decent glass of red or white or for selecting a bottle to bring home with you.

4:30 p.m.: From the Canal, walk to Metro Goncourt and take it to the Belleville station.

One of Paris' most interesting neighborhoods, Belleville is also relatively little-known to tourists. It's a traditionally working-class district whose long history of immigration makes it both diverse and uniquely cosmopolitan. It's also an important site for art and performance; once home to the legendary singer Edith Piaf, today countless working artists live and work from studios in the area.

While Belleville doesn't correspond to the "postcard-pretty" Paris you may expect, it's fascinating for its quirky murals, vibrant Chinatown, weekly food markets, and winding, secretive little streets. Take some time to explore it, notably by wandering up Rue Denoyez (lined with street art and artists' studios) and up the steep heights of Rue de Belleville.

Day 2: Evening

6:30 p.m.: Return to the Belleville Metro station and take the same line to the Anvers stop. Walk up the steep hill towards Sacré-Coeur (following the signs from the Metro) and into the heart of Montmartre. If you wish, you can also take the funicular up the hill (for the price of a Metro ticket), accessible from Rue Steinkerque.

For the last leg of your 48-hour whirl through Paris, you'll spend a memorable evening in Montmartre , a hilly area in the north that was once an external village (and still feels like one, from many standpoints).

The area's steep cobblestoned streets, quiet lanes, ivy-covered buildings, and historic cafes are all enduring draw cards. There's even a functioning vineyard, the Vignes du Clos-Montmartre, at Rue des Saules.

Admire the "creampuff"-like exterior of the legendary Sacre-Coeur Basilica , and take in sweeping panoramic views from its terraces. See an original Montmartre windmill at Le Moulin de la Galette , a restaurant once painted by the likes of Van Gogh, and leaving an emblematic trace of the area's agricultural past.

Le Bateau Lavoir , meanwhile, is an unassuming building perched on a steep hillside that once housed the studios of artists, including Pablo Picasso, while a museum dedicated to Salvador Dalí is just blocks away.

8 p.m.: It's time for a late dinner and show at one of Montmartre's traditional cabarets: either at the legendary Moulin Rouge (down the hill towards Metro Pigalle) or Au Lapin Agile , a traditional cabaret circa 1860 that's housed in an iconic pink house on one of Montmartre's quieter little streets.

In both cases, reservations are a must.

About Travel Man

Screenshot 2021-05-24 at 14.40.05.png

Since 2015 Travel Man has been delivering the definitive guide to making the most of 48 hours (and sometimes a little longer) in some of the most exciting destinations in the world.   In the process it has become the most popular holiday show on UK television.

For the first 9 series the show was hosted by comedic polymath (Actor, Presenter Writer, Director) Richard Ayoade. Since 2020 the show’s host has been the comedic polymath (Comedian,  Presenter, Writer, Director) Joe Lycett . Joining them on their travels have been some of the finest and most available comic talents from Britain and the US, among them Bill Bailey, Sarah Millican, Lena Dunham, Jon Hamm and Paul Rudd.

The show’s aim remains the same; a mini-break with the boring bits taken out.  A guide that combines famous attractions, the quirky and the cultural, mixing the must-see and the offbeat, and making sure there is always lots to do, whether it’s a cookery class, an interactive tour, or even an art lesson.

Travel Man’s peak audience for an episode is 2.8 million and its YouTube channel attracts 2 million views a month.  The show has been nominated for 2 BAFTA awards and won 5 Royal Television Society Awards, the most recent of these being a Best Presenter gong for Joe Lycett.  Travel Man has been shown in 62 countries.  It has received glowing reviews from as far afield as the New York Times and the Australian Guardian, and was described as ‘hilarious and surprisingly informative’ by The Times.  

The show is produced in Birmingham by North One Television .
