Paris Trip
I had dreamed of visiting Paris
since I was a little girl and I finally got the chance .Paris is one of the
most visited cities in the world and one of the most romantic cities in Europe.
It’s a beautiful city, easy to walk around, with an interesting history, and
with lots of things to see and do. The history, the culture, the lifestyle are
fascinating and will certainly give you a new perspective on life. Paris is
overflowing with beautiful, world-famous buildings and monuments – like Sacre
Cœur, the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Pompidou Centre, Luxembourg Palace,
Les Invalides and the Opéra Garnier .
The elegant boulevards, iconic architecture, beautiful parks, and delicious
food really do make this a magical city and one we never tire of exploring. The
view from the Arc de Triomphe is breath-taking, especially at sunset, and the
queues aren’t as long as at the Eiffel Tower. Even if you only have one day in
Paris you can still see and eat a lot.
We went to Paris on two day trip.
We explore Paris city by walk, train ,bus and in cruise. In a city like Paris
almost all of the buses pass by different monuments and beautiful spots more
than once, and if you have the time, you can truly get some serious sightseeing
done on the way to your actual destination.

We preferred Hop On Hop Off bus service to
explore the city. This will give you a more leisurely opportunity to explore
the city, taking in almost every major sight… without the need to navigate
public transport of course! I took had free commentary running. All I had to do
was grab a pair of headphones, sit back and listen to tons of interesting info
about the many sights I was viewing out of the window!Way more interesting than
having my head buried in a Paris guidebook, it was great to hear about the
history behind what I was actually looking at!
head to Ile de la Cité, an island
in the middle of the Seine that is home to some of the most popular tourist
destinations in Paris. Take a stroll on the historic island before you make
your way to the Eiffel Tower. Spend some time enjoying the stunning views of
Paris from the summit of the tower. Once you've visited the Eiffel Tower, head
for a sightseeing cruise on the Seine river that will show you important
highlights and landmarks of the city. In the evening, head to the Louvre Museum
to admire the most important works of art in the world. Finally, end your day
at another iconic Parisian landmark, Arc de Triomphe.
In 2 days in Paris we visited-
Notre Dame Cathedral, Eiffel Tower, Sightseeing Seine Cruise, Louvre Museum,
Arc De Triomphe
Notre Dame Cathedral:
the Île de la Cité, a historic
island in the heart of Paris full of beautiful historic buildings. The most
important of them all is the Notre Dame Cathedral.
The iconic church that was
built almost eight centuries ago is another monument that is considered the
pride of Paris. This notable cathedral is located on a small island (Île de la
Cite) in the middle of river Seine. The 800 year old church displays its tragic
as well as glorious moments through the history of Paris. Through its phase of
being almost demolished to being restored to its former beauty, a visit to
Notre Dame is nothing less than taking a stroll down the valiant history of
France. Be sure to catch a glimpse of the sparkling river Seine as well as
historical artefacts housed within the Church once you’re in it.
Eiffel Tower:

Paris, 325 meters high (or 1066 ft), the Eiffel Tower was built for the Paris
World Exhibition of 1889 by Gustave Eiffel.

France and is recognised world wide as a defining moment of the industrial era
in the country. Today, this glorious work of art attracts as many as 7 million
visitors annually, making the Eiffel Tower the most visited monument around the
world.
Comprising of three levels, you are greeted to a unique panoramic view
of the city and the glittering skies during night-time. In fact, the beautiful

Find the best way to visit the
"City of Light" enjoying a cruise on the Seine, especially at night. Seine
River Cruise. These are a really popular way to sight-see in Paris, and a
number of Seine River cruises depart from right next to the Eiffel Tower. We
went by 9 pm on cruise.
When the sun sets,( Here sun sets by 9 pm) the
monuments are lit slowly. You get a panoramic view to the forefront so you can
enjoy the beauty of Paris: Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Pont Alexandre III and
many more. The Seine river delimits the left bank and the right bank of Paris.
All about it is so magical.
The bridges, the docks, and its historical islands
can best be seen during a boat cruise This leisurely, hour long cruise takes
you past some of the most iconic Parisian monuments afloat. Admire prestigious
landmarks such as Assemblee Nationale, Musee d'Orsay, Institut de France,
Pantheon, Cite de la Mode, Hotel de Ville, Notre Dame, Conciergerie, and more.
The mesmerising cruise also allows you to enjoy an exhilarating experience from
on top of the boat’s terrace and passageways. It provides a complete new
perspective on the city and its monuments!
The Banks of the Seine can be
considered as the beaches of Paris. The Parisians like going there to relax and
have a drink when it is sunny. The best spot is probably at the western tip of
the Saint-Louis Island. At night, you will experience the typical Parisian
lifestyle. People are playing the guitar and drinking either beer or wine!
Surrounded by locals, it can turn out to be an unforgettable and one-of-a-kind
moment!

dedicated to art, mostly Impressionism and modern architecture. I also tried to
