As the birthplace of the Age of Enlightenment and a constant trendsetter in the world of fashion, Paris has cemented itself as one of the world's must-see cities. In a country known for exceptional food, style and culture, the capital delivers on all three counts.
The city is split into 20 districts (known as 'arrondissements'), which all display their own character. Le Marais (in the fourth arrondissement) is famed for its medieval, meandering lanes, full of traditional patisseries and chic boutiques. The area is also home to the iconic cathedral of Notre-Dame, considered one of the best examples of French Gothic architecture.
The seventh arrondissement is home to some of Paris' most famous landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides and Musée d'Orsay. Neighbouring districts also have plenty to offer, such as the famous Champs-Elysées, Arc de Triomphe and Opéra Garnier. In the centre of Paris you'll find the world-famous Musée du Louvre, home to tens of thousands of works of art, including da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa'. Further outside the city, but still worth a visit, are the mysterious Catacombs and the Château de Versailles.
Each French city takes pride in its cuisine and Paris is no exception, offering some of the world's best food. You'll find everything from three-Michelin-starred establishments like Restaurant Guy Savoy, to laid-back bistros like La Mascotte.
Offering fun for visitors of all ages, Disneyland Paris is located to the east of the city, in the suburb of Marne-la-Vallée and can be reached easily by train.

The train and bus system is excellent.
25 April 2024
The train and bus system is excellent. Here's the biggest tip I'd give anyone visiting the city: download a compass app on your phone. Paris has more multi-road intersections I've ever seen and there are few N-S E-W streets. The museum and historical sites are also fantastic. The food was great and so many types to choose from. We found everyone we engaged with to be friendly.
The second time I came to Paris, there were a lot of people.
25 April 2024
The second time I came to Paris, there were a lot of people. The commercial development was transitional, and the residents were not as friendly and gave people a sense of security as before. People on the road feel very alert. There are more consumption traps than before, and consumption has become much more expensive.
Speaking as a woman in her 20s, Paris is so majestic.
24 April 2024
Speaking as a woman in her 20s, Paris is so majestic. I loved every minute of it and I already went twice. The architecture, the streets, the opera, the parks and of course her majesty the Eiffel Tower. Some people think that Paris is over-rated and some other people can't get enough of it. If you love fashion, aesthetics, art, theater, taking pictures, history, museums then you're going to so have fun in Paris. Great food can be found too! Even in one of those restaurants in the Eiffel Tower itself. The steak entrecôte is also worth it, but frog legs - are not for everyone!
Stay away from tourist sites!
24 April 2024
Stay away from tourist sites! Thousands of person only there because someone told them to be there, not because they even had any reverence for Sacre Coeur or the Louvre! My cousin said they "went to the Louvre just to see the Mona Lisa, but then it was just this little thing..." I looked up Montmartre toward the cathedral and all I saw was 1000 people sitting on the steps watching acrobats. I left. Foraging on my own, I found sites and museums I had never heard of and loved them. One must constantly watch for bikes and scooters. Corners are highly dangerous as anything on wheels can come flying around them no matter who has the actual rightofway. French trains are easy to manage for day trips. 1 year of college French 60 years ago still allowed me to operate in stores every day. Get Google translate and then look up possible words you will need before you go out. NOTE: I did not go to even one of the "Popular places in Paris! Take a mini umbrella with you at all times!
Sight seeing is what it’s all about.
23 April 2024
Sight seeing is what it’s all about. Have a wine bottle opener handy and grab some wine, cheese and bread and sit in front of the attractions. Have one fancy dinner out and eat like the French, plan to sit for hours and take it in. Boat tour at night plan it to be in route after 9 pm so you can see the Eiffel Tower in all her glory.
Love Paris, no matter what!
19 April 2024
Love Paris, no matter what!! I find more French people in all walks of life speak English more and friendlier. Only problem is Taxi. Drivers were rough, not courteous and non speaking English. I stopped using after couple of times and started to call Uber, which was a great surprise!! They were efficient, reliable, friendly, professional and cheaper!! I am so happy to know Uber is freely accessible in Paris. Paris is my second home that I cannot possibly write all the charms here but it is always beautiful and exciting. Visited pharmacies, art supply shop, Monoprix, Samaritane, Lafayette. Found and bought many skincare products and out of this world cookies and chestnuts paste at Monoprix. I can see why all my friends in other EU countries look up Paris and yarning to visit. Paris is the city of beauty, excitement and excellence above all the other cities.
