What will be the best place to visit in paris?

Answer 1

Well if this could be a once in a lifetime trip and you want to see some internationally recognised sights but that are also interesting (not just bricks) then I would say my top three are:

The Eiffel Tower - do go up it.

Montmartre - walk up the front then wander round the artist area at the back.

A boat ride on the Seine - book an evening meal on a boat - excellent food and you sail past a lot of big sights, at least you see them even if you don't get chance to visit them.

Answer 2

The question really depends on what you are looking to do in Paris. There are the basic tourist destinations: Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Place de la Concorde, Champs Elysees, and about 20 other museums that I could run off. I would suggest that you really look at what you want to do before you get there (so you don't spend valuable time trying to figure it out when you are there). Then, map it out. Try to work in as much as you can in each day. For example, you could go see Notre Dame  on the Ile de la Cite (go early in the am to avoid the crowds) then spend some time on Ile St. Louis which is the second of the two islands in the Seine. There is also a wonderful Church on the Ile de la Cite called Saint Chapell which has the bible mapped out in stained glass. It is truly exquisite. These two islands and what there is to see there could take half a day or more. I would suggest the Louvre (again go early) as a half day or more excursion. There is a wonderful restaurant in the lower lobby called the Le Grand Louvre. It is expensive, but really worth it. After the Louvre, walk down its Tuileries Gardens (you will be able to see the Arc de Triomphe in the distance). Along the way you will see the Place de la Concorde (where Marie Antoinette was executed) and then the Champs Elysees. You can end at the Arc de Triomphe. There is also a wonderful ferry that runs in the River Seine called the Batu Bus (I think that is how it is spelled). You can purchase a day or week pass and it runs around the river beginning at the Eiffel Tower making stops all along the route as it circles the two islands and goes back up to the Eiffel Tower. You can get off and on anywhere it stops (just like a bus). It is a wonderful way to see the city from the river and just get around. Start at the Eiffel Tower and get off at the Louvre or Notre Dame walk around, then get back on and stop somewhere else. I know this is a lot, and I am just scratching the surface, so be sure to plan ahead. Use a good travel book on Paris to choose what you want to see, then map it out. And don't be afraid to change the plans if you find a place you fall in love with and want to spend more time visiting. I hope this helps and have a great trip.

Answer 3

If I could only visit one place in Paris, it would be the Palais Royal.  The garden is beautiful and there are usually some odd metal sculptures on display.  

My second choice would be Notre Dame.  Even a non-religious person like myself can go there just to find a peaceful place to meditate.

Answer 4

obviously the Eiffel tower, and Champs Alysées, and if la cathédrale de Notre- Dame is in Paris, definitely that

Answer 5

besides the obvious internationally famous tourist attractions, you should walk around at Momatre neighborhood, have a look at the art galleries and choose a nice, charming cafe to eat a pain au chocolat and coffee.
