DK Travel : Paris

From Notre-Dame to the Eiffel Tower, Paris holds some of the world's most famous sights and these highlights should be top of the list for any first-time visitor. With the exception of the overtly modern Pompidou Centre, they have been landmarks of this elegant and romantic capital for centuries and remain awe-inspiring sights, no matter how often you visit the city.

Hotel VILLA FENELON

Quiet, clean, well-priced by Paris standards and very nicely located near the Opera, about two blocks from a Metro stop, and if you want, walk-able to the Louvre and other tourist stops. There are tons of places to eat close by.
Jardin du Luxembourg

A beautiful park set in the Left Bank. A favourite of Parisiens, who can be found sitting and reading or strolling around, the Jardin du Luxembourg is an oasis of calm in a frenetic city.

Sit in one of the numerous chairs lining the walkways, take a picnic and stretch out on the grass and watch the world go by. The shallow lake draws adults and children alike to hire a toy sail boat and a long stick ad set sail across the water! A children's play area and merry-go-round are reminiscent of the parks of days gone by. Why not sit and relax by the bandstand - there is usually someone playing - be it a small orchestra or lone musician.

The park is beautiful all year round but especially in spring, as everything wakes up and the gardens are sprinkled with an explosion of colour.
L'Ecluse Grands Augustins‎

Wine bar and Restaurant with a great selection of Bordeaux by the glass. Staff are very friendly and very knowledgeable about their wines!
L'Embacle

It's a modern fountain, the work of a Québecois artist named Guillaume Daudelin. More than an ordinary fountain, it is a sculpture, given in 1984 as an hommage from Quebec to the city of Paris. It is called L'Embâcle, which means Ice Jam (that is, obstruction of a river bed with blocks of ices). There is no gap between the sidewalk's large paving stones and the fountain's four slabs of bronze, so that the pavement seems lifted up by the water that sprays through it.

L'Embâcle beautifully conjures up break-up of ice in Québec when springs arrives at last. It is famous because of its artistic value, and functional originality as well.
La Galerie

This nightclub has the best of everything, even reggaeton. Just make sure you don't pass out from alcohol poisoning...
La Grande Arche

La Tour d’argent

Renowned for its wine list, which is considered to be the best in Paris, as well as for its lovely views of the Seine and Notre-Dame. Duck à l’orange is one of the specialities and the sauce is prepared before your eyes.
La Victoire Supreme du Coeur

Laduree

For a quintessential Parisian experince pop into a Laduree in Paris and sit and enjoy a macaroon. The presentation and overall experience is a delight and the take away packaging is just as pretty
