Musée du Louvre

The world’s largest museum unsurprisingly also contains one of the world’s most important collections of art and antiquities. To complete the superlatives, the building was once France’s largest royal palace.

Musée d’Orsay

This remarkable conversion has turned a former railway station into one of the world’s leading art galleries and is, for many, reason alone to visit Paris.

View attraction

Eiffel Tower

Some six million visitors a year ascend to the top of this most famous Paris landmark for the spectacular views. It was erected for the Universal Exhibition of 1889.

View attraction

Notre-Dame

This great Gothic cathedral, founded on the site of a Roman temple, was completed in 1334 and is a repository of French art and history. It also represents the geographical heart of France.

The terrace in front of this monumental white-domed basilica in Montmartre affords one of the finest free views over Paris.

Arc de Triomphe

Napoleon’s triumphal arch, celebrating battle victories, stands proudly at the top of the Champs-Elysées and, along with the Eiffel Tower, is one of the city’s most enduring images.

View attraction

Centre Georges Pompidou

Home to the Paris Museum of Modern Art, the design of the Pompidou Centre makes it a distinctive exhibition in itself. The Centre also has extensive research facilities.

This coffee shop on Rue de Rivoli serves the best hot chocolate in town (the renowned 'L'Africain'). Its other specialty is a great Mont Blanc (chestnut puree on meringue with whipped cream on top - diabetics beware).

Boat trip

The best way to see Paris is from a bateau mouche. Just lie back and watch the sights go by.

Cheap treats on a budget.

The food in Paris is always overpriced and when you have children in tow, it can be hard to find them something they like. Whilst at the Eiffel Tower this year though, we all enjoyed the most wonderful crepes from the little stalls just outside from the tower, overlooking the view, fantastic for those on a budget and with children, as there was so many versions and flavours for everyone.

La Grande Arche
La Grande Arche

Amazing 110 metre high marble Arch with great views over Paris from the top, which is reached by a transparent tube elevator. Also there, is a huge shopping centre together with a massive paved open area, all surrounded by modern skyscrapers

View attraction

Latin Quarter

Great local cheap food where the real lcoals eat - crepes, fast food, restaurants - its all there and a fraction of the price.

View attraction

Relais de l'Entrecôte

A simple but attractive French restaurant where one can have delicous steaks and chips. Prices are generally between 15 and 25 euros.

Unplanned Exploring

There is no better way to see Paris then to simply explore all the area of the city, whether it be by foot, bike or bus. Start early in the morning and follow your instincts around the streets, stopping at places of interest. Who know what you will find when you let go of your plans and simply see what Paris has to offer.
