Paris

Paris is a city that invites you to dream. Founded around 250 BC on a small island on the River Seine, the Gallic Parisii, is one of the most romantic destinations in the world. Paris charms visitors with its monumental buildings and symbols, such as the Eiffel Tower or the Opera House, but also with its bohemian atmosphere and avant-garde, you breathe from Montmartre to the corner most unexpected. Paris invites you to discover little by little, getting lost in its streets. Cradle of artistic and cultural movements, Paris was the city of artists and intellectuals such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Rene Descartes, Monet, Renoir and Dumas.

To really appreciate the spirit of this city, you will need to escape from the usual tourist routes. Relax at the table of a small cafe, savor a glass of wine and watch the comings and goings of the street. Paris, romantic ... and beyond.

In Paris, the problem is where to start.
Places the icons, the Eiffel Tower, the bridges of the Seine, the Arc de Triomphe?
Museums, the Louvre, the Picasso museum, the Musée d'Orsay or the Beaubourg?
Districts, the Marais, the Latin Quarter, Montmartre, Belleville? From the new Paris la Defense or La Villette?

The suggestions are useless: each construct the following visit their emotions.
Lovers of literature can sit at a table in the Café Les Deux Magots, imagining to see Sartre in the next, and wander through the narrow streets of St-Germain-des-Prés.
Those who love art in all its forms has a hundred museums available.
The romantics can stroll in the moonlight along the banks of the Seine, the "vicious" to hunt for sins to Pigalle, the "trendy" hang the trendiest neighborhoods (at this time, the ethnic mix of Belleville).

And of course, all the tourists who are not ashamed of it can climb the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame to join, make a stop on the steps of Sacre Coeur and the Place des Vosges on the benches.
Last stop, the top of the Tour Montparnasse, to see the sun set and deliver to Paris on his heart.

What to visit

- The museums (Louvre, the Picasso Museum, the Palais de Chailot, the Centre Pompidou, the Musée d'Orsay: these are, um ... "mandatory").

- Monuments (see above); neighborhoods (ditto).

- The shops and department stores.

- Parks (the Luxembourg, the Tuileries Gardens, the parc Montsouris, that of the Palais de Chailot).
