Top Selections for Paris

By Taylor Martinerin

There are so many interesting things to see in Paris, it might be hard to start narrowing down the list. Hopefully this guide will help give you an idea of just what sites in Paris should be on any tourist's schedule.

The first thing you should probably consider doing is seeing a day tour of the city, since this can give you some more ideas of what would attract you personally. Besides, it's a good idea to get a general grasp of how the city's arranged before you begin moving about without anyone who actually knows Paris. Make sure you know how to pronounce where you're staying, just in case. These basic steps might really come in handy, just in case you get lost.

When people talk about Paris, they inevitably mention the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is a great landmark, visible for miles around. Make sure you check the hours the tower is open for the season you're visiting, as they do change slightly based on the season.

The Louvre is another obvious selection on any quick tour of Paris, especially for art lovers. Housing tens of thousands of artworks, the Louvre really does live up to it's phenomenal reputation.

For those interested in History, the Notre Dame Cathedral is another must-see attraction. Unfortunately, there is limited mobility access in most places. It is free of charge to tour this ancient relic.

The largest public park in the nation, Luxembourg Gardens is a great destination for nature lovers. There are many statues, flowers, and fountains to catch the eye. Don't worry about the kids, either, as the park also hosts a number of great attractions anyone can enjoy.

Located on the Seine River, Paris Plage is a great beach with many attractions. It is run by the city of Paris and each year new attractions are added. Though the beach itself is free of charge, the various attractions do have individual admission prices. - 30439
