I am going to Paris for the day - what must I see?

Question

does anyone have any suggestions of what is must see/do/eat? Only there for a day - know I want to go up the effiel tower and that's about it!

Answer 1

Been up the Eiffel Tower last year. It's okay.

Answer 2

Best way to see it is start at the Champs Elysee or Nortre dame, depending on which way you are coming from. And walk the entire way from either point. But don't go into any museums because you will get caught up into it and it will take your time. So walk from Notre dame towards the Louvre, then up into the Gardens or next to them, to Place de la concorde then up the Champs Elysee. If you want, climb the Champs Elysee for about 5 euro 7.5 dollars, and you can see all of paris (without the line unlike the Eiffel tower)

Answer 3

Hi I went to Paris in The Easter holidays of 2007 and my family and I had a good time there.

When you are there I would suggest you visit the Eiffel Tower (I got lost here so I went down to the bottom when my 2 sister's,dad and mum where at one of the Restaurants), The Louvre and The Notre-Dame.

We also went to a Science Museum which was quite good.

Louvre( Palace)

ChampsElysees Ave(Avenue des Champs-Elysées)

don't ask questions in English,or they'll answer in fluent English:sorry I don't speak English.

Answer 5

Visit the church of Notre Dame and the church of La Madeleine.  Visit the Louvre if you have time.

Answer 6

the eiffel tower of course

Answer 7

arch le truimpth

golden rose (for diana)

Answer 8

That's about all I was going to suggest...the Eiffel Tower.

See if you can find a good restaurant and order crepes....they are delicious in French restaurants in the USA...expect they must be outstanding in France.

Answer 9

you may see a few french people there

Answer 10

Notre Dame cathedral is spectacular. Remember to go all the way round or you'll miss the flying butresses.

A stroll along the left bank  is a must.

If you're into art, give the Louvre a wide berth and go to the Musee D'Orsay instead.

Have a brilliant time

Answer 11

Sacre Coeur and Montmartre, Notre Dame and the Latin Quarter..eat the crepes and gallettes from street sellers so you can keep sight seeing...,

Answer 12

the Louvre , the cathedral and the Eiffeltoren .

Also the painters alongside the Seine.

Answer 13

of course the eiffel tower, take a walk or boat ride by the river seine, there are tons of amazing art galleries - i would suggest you look them up cos you will really only have time to go to one. when you eat try not to eat exactly by a big tourist place - the food will be rubbish, not very 'french' and extremely overpriced. just walk away a couple of streets and you will find much nicer places.

paris is beautiful you will have a wonderful time!

Answer 14

Be prepared for long queues for the Eiffel Tower. Try to see Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe, Place de la Concorde, Montmartre (including Sacre Coeur). If you like Art go to the Louvre.

Answer 15

The Eiffel tower, moulin rouge, museum etc. And ofcourse the french kissing.

Answer 16

Get drunk theres plenty of wine

Answer 17

THE CARS..BE CAREFUL DONT GET HURT!

Answer 18

Go to the sacre coeur (sacred heart) its a church on top of a hill and you can look out over the entire city...there are a few bars and a market up there too

Answer 19

Notre Dame  You must go to Notre Dame, and walk the Champs - Elysees, and eat quiche lorraine, and pate and a nice glass of wine (not necessarily all at once) and have  a crepe from a cart on the street, and sit in one of the cafés and have coffee and pastry.  That ought to take a whole day.

If you had more time, you would have to do the Louvre as well, but that takes a whole day in itself.  And the Musée d'Orsay, and ...well, when you have time to spend a whole week, we'll give you some ideas.
