"Must See" Places on your Trip to Paris

Sent by Jana (Czech Republic) on 15 September 2007

There's so much to see on a trip to Paris that you will need to plan your vacation in advance to make sure you don't miss anything. Whether your passion is to shop, wander around historic buildings, enjoy tourist attractions and landmarks, or spend your vacation sampling the local nightlife, Paris has everything. There are four places that you must see on your visit however, five if you are daring enough to enter the doors of the infamous Moulin Rouge! The other four are the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre, and if you have kids (or if you're young at heart) Disneyland Paris.

The Eiffel Tower is first on the list because it is probably the most famous of all the Parisian landmarks. At 75 stories high, it offers a magnificent view of the city below.
Apart from the panoramic view, there are restaurants at the top of the Eiffel Tower to reward yourself for climbing up! If you're inspired for another climb, then the Bell Tower of the Notre Dame Cathedral is another place not to be missed on your trip to Paris. If you enjoy wandering around art galleries then the Louvre, home of the "Mona Lisa" is another not to be missed item for your itinerary. If you are on a family vacation, one way of sweetening the museum visits to any younger members is to offer a day at Disneyland, Paris. Situated just outside of France's capital is a smaller version of the king of all theme parks - Disneyworld!

For a romantic trip to Paris, try and visit the city in spring when it is at its most beautiful. Stroll around the city with your partner, stopping for light lunch or a glass of wine at a small bistro. For something a little more special take an evening boat trip down the River Seine, enjoying a quiet supper whilst you pass the illuminated Paris landmarks.

It doesn't matter what you like to do on vacation, you're soon to find something on your trip to Paris to make it a vacation to remember.
