The Inspiring Sights of Paris
October 18, 2007 Places and Things No CommentsMost of the sights of Paris are within an easy walk of each other. These include the river Seine, Notre Dame cathedral, the Louvre museum, Hotel de Ville (Town Hall), the unbelievably beautiful Place des Vosges, the Pompidou Centre (modern art gallery), and the charming Ile St-Louis island on the Seine, along with the Latin Quarter and St-Germain area, just over the river.
Vacation rentals in Paris have become the favorite places to stay for many Paris visitors. They are, in fact, a better option than hotel rooms because they are larger, more visitor-friendly, and often less expensive. Discerning travelers would rather stay in a beautiful hand-picked short term rental apartment than an expensive Paris hotel room.
Paris is the home of many of the most famous sites in the world, from the Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame, to gazing on Mona Lisa in the Louvre. The Louvre Museum displays collections of western art from the Middle Ages to 1850, and the ancient civilisations that preceded and gave birth to this art.
A walking tour of Paris should be on everyone’s itinerary. You are able to walk the streets of Paris to some of the most photogenic sites in the city, including the amazing flying buttresses of Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral, the Palais Royal, and the Place Dauphine. Other highlights you can see are the many bridges crossing the Seine, many other interesting sites along the famous river, and the Louvre Museum with its open, west facing courtyard and unique glass pyramid entrance.
