Fall in Love with Paris

Where else can you see exquisite sights, get samplings of the finest art, eat world-renowned delicacies and of course, fall in love but in Paris, France? The most romantic city in the world is indeed just that but Paris has so much to offer that it’s hard not to wonder what to do first. Only in this wonderful city can you have your portrait painted, listen to unique music and sample some of the finest cheeses and wine all within one city block! Whether you’re there for romance or simply to visit a city unlike any other, Paris is sure to be perfect!

Top your list of things to do with visiting the top of the Eiffel Tower, perhaps Paris’ most famous attraction. Throughout the years lights have been added all along the structure that twinkle every twenty minutes for amazing effects and viewing the tower at night there are fountains that also light up as the magic spray shoots up. Travel to the top of the tower and enjoy the many different views of the city from the platforms – you can see over 65 kilometers in any direction! If heights aren’t really your game, the view is just as good at the bottom where you can grab a picnic basket and sit in the grassy area around the tower and marvel at its beauty.

If the Eiffel Tower is the top attraction in Paris, the Louvre is a close second. This museum is massive so it’s best to plan to spend a day or two in it and to avoid becoming overwhelmed, split one day up with a break for lunch and come back and try to take in all the rest. Tickets are good all day and include leaving privileges so it’s easy to fully enjoy this other world-renowned attraction. When you first enter the museum, make sure to check out the signs that will point you to the most popular displays – these will be forever helpful in finding very interesting pieces and won’t leave you frustrated as you try to track them down.

While you are in the fashion capital of the world it only makes sense that you would check out some of the newest trends and designs emerging from some very young and hot designers. To see some of the finest work you will need to check out the Marais, where shopping is abound and designers have their galleries right in the center of it all for you to check out! This is truly a once in a lifetime shopping experience and you can also pick up things such as contemporary house wares if fashion isn’t your thing. But do at least check out the different styles and you will be amazed at some of the hottest pieces that come out of Paris!

Go see what all the fuss is about at Notre Dame. This magnificent building is just like you see it in the movies, with gargoyles leering from the sides of the building and the steeple which reaches high into the sky. Once you are done fawning over the architecture and taking a tour inside, cross the street for the finest ice cream you will ever eat at Berthillon. This isn’t any old ice cream, though. Not only does is have specialties such as being artifice-free but there are so many flavors, there’s sure to be something for everyone! If you’re crazy about chocolate, you may want to even sample any one of their five different chocolate flavors alone!
