Paris is one of the most famous cities in the world. One of the things you don’t expect to see is how compact everything in Paris actually is which makes sightseeing really easy. It’s one of the world’s greatest cities and is full of wonderful buildings and famous tourist attractions. It also has superb restaurants, sometimes it feels like there’s one on every corner so staying close to Paris means you’ll have plenty to do and see.
Known as the “City of Lights,” Paris it’s is one of the world’s top business centres and is renowned for its culture and fashion. Paris is a beautiful, cosmopolitan city that was designed to demonstrate France’s glory and some of its sweeping boulevards really do take your breath away.
Don’t forget though that Paris is best seen on foot. Strolling from place to place you’ll come across pretty tree lined streets and squares with pleasant cafes and restaurants. Finding your way around is easy. T he geographical centre of Paris, the first arondissemont, hosts the Louvre, possible the finest museum in the world, and the famous Tuileries Gardens, opposite the Pyramid of the Louvre. Place Vendôme is home to Paris’ jewelers Van Cleef & Arpels and Boucheron. While haute couture designers such as Yves St-Laurent and Christian Dior can be found on rue Saint-Honoré. The 3rd and 4th arondissemont together make up the area of Marais, the oldest part of the city. The area is steeped in history and has plenty of atmosphere, served in bucket loads and is well worth visiting.
The River Seine runs through the city and divides the city into some it’s most colourful areas. Walking along the river is a great way to see what’s on offer in the city and gets you access to the Isle de La Cite.
Things to do in Paris
Eiffel Tower
Built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution in 1889 the tower is still going strong over 120 years later. It has become the symbol of all things French and Parisian as well. It’s worth visiting because the views from the top are something spectacular.. You can see up to 45 miles on a good day. It does get busy (very) as you’d expect so I might be work planning an early visit to avoid the crowds.
Sacre Coeur
In Montmartre the Sacre Coeur Basilica looks out, from the top of a hill across Paris with views to the Eiffel Tower and Pompideu Centre. Behind the basilica is the artists square where you can buy original art and eat a lovely lunch in the shade of the trees. Below the basilica is the area of Monmatre which id the home of the famous Moulin Rouge cabaret bar.
Centre Pompidou
The Centre Pompidou is some thirty years old and has become aprt of trhe cultural backbone of France. It has a vast collection of contemporary art and is constantly housing groundbreaking exhibitions. The building itself was groundbreaking when it was designed in that it’s shell contains a network of pipes on the outside that contain services. Blue pipes for air conditioning, green for plumbing, yellow for electricity and red for elevators.
