10 places to visit in paris?

Question

tourism.

Answer 1

1. The Louvre

2. Musee d'Orsay

3. Musee Rodin

4. Notre-Dame Cathedral

5. Take a tour of some of the really nice Metro stations. The Louvre stop looks like a museum itself.

6. Sacre-Coeur Basilica (the view is amazing)

7. Cruise along the Seine River

8. Versailles

9. Sainte Chapelle (the stained glass church near Notre-Dame)

10. Jim Haynes' atelier for dinner. Every Sunday, Jim hosts a dinner at his apartment for Parisians and fellow tourists alike. The cost is $20 and you get a wonderful meal in a dinner party atmosphere (where you mostly mingle as there is no table) plus a chance to rub elbows with people from all spectrums. It is a lot of fun and I can't wait to return to Paris to attend another dinner.

Answer 2

2 Picasso Museum - famous artworks displayed

3 St. Germain des Pres - fashion shopping at boutiques

4 Place de Vosges

5 la Perle

6 Avenue - delectable dishes

7 Chez Francis - fine restaurant

8 George - great food

9 Maxims - sit-down dinner

10 Burgundy - wine county

Answer 3

Only 10 ?

Answer 4

Shakespeare & Co. bookshop - amazing

For an unbelievable dinner, try "Les Bouquinistes" along the Seine and get the seafood ravioli.  Don't be afraid of the strawberry tart with basil sorbet, it's out of this world!

Make sure to climb all the way to the top of the Notre Dame spire.

Saint Sulpice is a really cool church and if you are a DaVinci Code fan, so much the better.

Make sure to visit the Latin Quarter with its quaint shoppes and restaurants.

Visit Invalides if you are into ancient weapons and Napoleonic history.

The Rodin museum is great as well.

Visit the "Pere LaChaise" cemetery and see the graves of Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Chopin and Edith Piaf.  If you're lucky, they will let you do grave rubbings (not Jim though, they blocked him off because of vandals).

Obviously the Louvre and the Musee D'Orsay and Eiffel tower.

Go to Les Tuileries and have a sandwich in the park.

Shop on the Champs Elysees and make your way toward the Arc de Triomphe (actually climbing it is overrated).

Versailles, of course, but it's a bit outside of Paris.  You can take the Metro.

If you love chocolate, go to Jean-Paul Hevin's chocolatier.  You will think you have died and gone to heaven.  I actually order the chocolates from Paris directly, they are THAT good (well worth the 50 dollar shipping charge).

And finally (and VERY importantly), just pick a spot and spend the afternoon just walking around the little side streets and exploring.  There is nothing like striking out in Paris, not knowing your destination and stumbling upon an amazing little restaurant or shop you would have otherwise missed.

Bonne Chance!

8. The streets of Paris are a "sight"

9. Montparnasse Tower (great view of the city)

Answer 9

Most people will tell you about the usual tourist "don't miss" spots like the Tour Eiffel and such.

But if you would like to see something off the beaten path, I'd recommend the Musee Dapper.  It is one of the best African art museums I've ever been to!

Also, make sure you grab a book (from the English book store across the street if you forget your own) and sit and read in the garden/park outside of the Louvre museum-- direct metro stop is "Tuileries".  Watching the couples walk hand in hand, seeing children rollerblade and ride horses in the summertime... its my favorite place in the city!

Finally, if you manage to get out to Versailles, visit France Miniature.  A neat park which has all of France (including Corsica) in miniature scale.  It is a great way to see the differences in dress, geography, etc that France has in just a day.

Enjoy and bon voyage,
