Paris Plans
Oct 29th, 2008 by Travel Reporter
When in Paris it’s important to make the most of your time there. Eating in the best Parisian restaurants, walking along the Seine with a loved one, trying ‘escargots’ and ‘moules marinées’ for the first time and of course, visiting all of the legendary attractions the city has to offer. However, with so much to do and so much to see, arriving in the French capital can be somewhat overwhelming if you haven’t properly planned out your trip. So read on to find out what the best places to see and visit really are.
The Eiffel Tower – Ok, I won’t patronise you, everyone knows that the Eiffel Tower is pretty much what characterises the city and that it’s the first thing you must see when there. So let’s just leave it at that.
The Louvre – Another obvious one, but nonetheless a crucial stop. Home to The Mona Lisa and Louis XIV’s bedchamber to name but a few, the Louvre not only holds some of the worlds most important art work, but the museum building itself is a work of art.
The Champs Élysées – The most famous avenue in Paris, stretching for 2 kilometres and known to have the most expensive real estate in Europe, the Champs Élysées is the most well desired street in the city. At one end is the infamous Arc de Triomphe and at the other is the Place de la Concorde, the most visited square in the city.
The Moulin Rouge – Although Cabaret is somewhat classified as cheesy and even tacky these days, it could be considered as almost sacrilege to visit Paris and not visit the place where Frank Sinatra performed, Nicole Kidman acted and the birth place of the Can-Can. Cabaret shows are still held to this day and will no doubt provide you with a full night of entertainment. The Moulin Rouge is a far cry from the sort of Cabaret you will see in any other establishment.
So there you have it, four places you really must visit next time in Paris. Don’t forget to book your Paris apartment (apartamento París) quite a bit in advance as Paris Hotels (hotel París) are some of the most desired accommodation (alojamiento París)in Europe. You should also consider renting a Paris apartment; one of those quaint apartments with high ceilings, wooden floors and a balcony overlooking a little winding road; perfect for a romantic stay in the capital of Love. Enjoy your trip and make sure to visit all of these destinations; they really are worth it.
