Paris is always a good idea! So let’s go! And of course I want to take you with me! My Instagram and Snapchat ‘wendyvsoest’ will be up-to-date 100%. Follow me HERE to see my adventures through the city of love ‘Paris’.
I already went to Paris a view times, but now I’m going with a friend who is never been in Paris. So we gonna do a lot of tourist things an here and there a view fashion week things. I always make a travel guide of the places I’m visit, so here is my guide about Paris.
Eiffel tower
Number 1 attraction is of course the Eiffel Tower, the symbol of Paris. With the elevator it is possible to enjoy a unique view over Paris. On the first floor is an exhibit to find more information about the Eiffel Tower. in the evening between 21:00 and 24:00 there is every hour a relieved to see although Eiffel Tower for a few minutes.
Arc de Triomphe
This triumphal arch is one of the most famous symbols of Paris. The fifty-metre-high construction work dates back to the time of Napoleon and is on one of the busiest transportation hubs of Paris. The roof terrace has a beautiful view of Paris.
Champs Elysees
This is the city’s most famous street. Essentially it’s just a combination of designer shops, chain stores, restaurants and entertainment venues. If you’re feeling really energetic, you can then cross the Place de la Concorde with its beautiful water fountains and walk through the lovely linear Jardin de Tuileries park all the way to the Louvre museum.
Jardin du Tuileries
This beautiful public park was once the garden to the Tuileries Palace, which is now the Louvre Museum. It’s sandwiched between the Place de la Concorde and the Louvre and continues the linear layout of this part of Paris from the Arc de Triomphe, down the Champs Elysees and through the main path in the gardens.
Louvre Museum
This always reminds me of the film ‘The Da Vinci Code’. It’s one of the important musa’s in the world with a lot of treasures of history. One of those treasures is ‘Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa’. You will recognize this museum of the glass pyramid. if you don’t plan to go to the musuem, I recommend you descend into the pyramid to see how it looks from underneath. This area is free to access and you can browse the shop and the walkways without purchasing a ticket. Nearest metro station is Palais-Royal–Musée du Louvre.
Notre Dame Cathedral
The famous cathedral from the book and Disney movie ’the hunchback of notre dame’. It’s possible to climb this 130-meter-high building for a pretty city view, but be aware it moves very slowly! Arrive around 15 minutes before the towers open at 10am and see how many people are waiting. They let around 20 people climb the steps every 10 minutes, so you can work out roughly how long you’ll have to wait. Metro stop Hôtel de Ville or Châtelet, or RER stop Notre Dame Saint Michel.
Saint Sulpice
If you like seeing churches, this one is certainly worth a visit. It’s towers are visible on the city skyline from many of the viewing areas like the towers at Notre Dame and inside it’s both humble and huge. If you’ve read The DaVinci Code you’ll know that the obelisk and brass line in the floor feature in the book. Nearest Metro stop is Saint Sulpice.
Seine
The beautiful Seine of Paris, this is one of the reason why Paris called the city of love. You can do different boat trips. You will see the many historic along the Seine River, such as La Statue de la Liberté, Le Grand Palais, La Place de La Concorde, L’Assemblée national and La Conciergerie. There are also boat trips where you can dining with live music.
Basilique du Sacré-Coeur
This white colored Basilica on top of the Hill ‘Montmartre’ has a very beautiful sight and appearance. On the green square with huge steps are often people to enjoy the beautiful views. Also the inside is worth it, especially the huge image of Jesus made of mosaic.
Galeries Lafayette
Galeries Lafayette is probably the most famous department store of Paris. A true walhalla for fashionista’s.
Centre Pompidou
If you like your modern art, you’ll love a visit inside. All the functional bits like pipes, lifts, escalators etc are on the outside, rather than being hidden away. Metro stop Châtelet.
Moulin Rouge
Since it opened in 1899, the Moulin Rouge has been entertaining the public with its flamboyant dancing shows. The theatre is world famous and every show will sell out. If you want to visit at the best price, I definitely recommend booking in advance. Most people opt for dinner along with the show and you watch from the table you ate your food at. The theatre is designed so that everyone will be able to see, and the show does not disappoint.
Paris Catacombs
Did you know that under the streets of Paris there are secret tunnels which link almost the whole city? The Paris Catacombs were created by quarrying hundreds of years ago and there are all sorts of stories about people living down there to this day. The vast majority of the city’s catacombs are off-limits to visitors however, but one small section – about 2km – is now a tourist attraction. The whole thing is a bit of a spooky experience though as the tunnels were used a cemetery for human remains for almost one hundred years. One minute you’re walking along empty carved tunnels, looking at some of the things the quarrymen built and the next you’re surrounded by endless stacks of human bones, all lined up in neat patterns. The Catacombs entrance is a green hut, opposite the entrance to Denfert-Rochereau metro station
Disneyland Paris
At Marne-la-Vallée, a 45 minute train journey from Paris, you’ll find the two theme parks that make up Disneyland Paris, surrounded by hotels, restaurants and other services. It’s an easy day trip to take, but make sure you buy your park tickets in advance for the best prices. The two parks are the Walt Disney Studios and Disneyland Park and both are right next to each other just a short walk from the RER station. Disneyland Park is a replica of the Magic Kingdom with most of the rides you’ll find in the one in Florida set in 5 different lands surrounding Sleeping Beauty’s Castle.
Enjoy your weekend!
