   If there is only one art museum you see in your life then this is the one (and maybe the Tate Modern). Okay that's a bit extreme and presumptive. But this is the best I have been to. I live in Australia and apart from the gallery in my home town this is the only one in the world I have been to... more If there is only one art museum you see in your life then this is the one (and maybe the Tate Modern). Okay that's a bit extreme and presumptive. But this is the best I have been to. I live in Australia and apart from the gallery in my home town this is the only one in the world I have been to more than once! There are just too many great works to see here. The queues in the forecourt can put you off but don't worry they move relatively quickly!close

   It is actually huge arc in the middle of big roundabout. DO NOT try to cross the road throught to the arc as there are no lines on the road and those drivers are just crazy.

DO NOT try to cross the road throught to the arc as there are no lines on the road and those drivers are just crazy. If you want you can climb to the top of this arc for few euro and you can get nice view as you can see on my picture and you can see whole Champ's Elisee and Eifell tower. Arc is guarded with military as there is a soldier grave under it.close

   La Sainte Chapelle and Conciergerie complex on the ile de la Cité in central Paris is well worth visiting.

You can visit both sites or just one, but the queues for the Sainte Chapelle in particular are quite daunting so be warned. The Church was started in 1241 and is considered a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. The upper chapel has the most amazing rose window and the stained glass is considered the best of its kind in the world. Not surprising - the place just takes your breath away. The lower chapels is ornately decorated and brightly painted.close

   We went to this cathedral on sunday evening and there was a mass but cathedral was still open for tourists and all the chairs were divided from tourists so you can walk around all the people and listen to the songs and take pictures. Entrance was free during mass.

   We went to to the top of this tower for 11,50EURO as you can see price list on the picture. You can see queue as well on other picture. DO NOT GO only to 1st or second floor... it is nothing if you compare it with the view from top of the tower. It is windy up there but there is always two floors... more We went to to the top of this tower for 11,50EURO as you can see price list on the picture. You can see queue as well on other picture. DO NOT GO only to 1st or second floor... it is nothing if you compare it with the view from top of the tower. It is windy up there but there is always two floors on each level and one of them is covered with windows. Tower starts to flash from 5 minutes to 9pm every hour for 10 minutes.close

   I went to the Louvre museum on a school trip it was so-so.

I didn't really see what all the fuss was about, everyone claiming the Mona Lisa painting was a masterpiece, and it isn't really that impressive. I know that it is a good talent to be able to paint like L. de Vinci did but there were plenty of paintings and pieces in the museum which were just as good if not better than the Mona Lisa, and non of these were nearlly as famous. I would like to know why. Another thing that shocked me was how much there was to see in one museum and you couldn't really appreciate what each piece really had to offer because you wanted to try and see everything. My experience was okay and even though I was not overly impressed by the Mona Lisa at least I can say that I have seen it for myself nd gathered my own opinion. Antoinette Adamsclose

It's located in the actual sewer system. A fascinating place, even if a little quirky and smelly. A complete history of how Paris has dealt over the centuries with several aspects of life most of us pretty much take for granted these days, including water supply and waste treatment. I discovered Paris with an other view. It is less glamour...close

    This place is from my point of view one of the nicest place in Paris. You are in a small village which is situated in the heart of Paris. There is no noise anymore like in the city centre, no polution, it's like being in a typical french village with his public place, his painter, his artist.... more This place is from my point of view one of the nicest place in Paris. You are in a small village which is situated in the heart of Paris. There is no noise anymore like in the city centre, no polution, it's like being in a typical french village with his public place, his painter, his artist. If you want to be in an artistical atmosphere, go to Montmartre where Modigliani, Van gogh Gauguin used to live. Take a glass of wine in a terrace and just appreciate the view of Paris. If you want you can make a picnick in the park just closed to the Sacre Coeur.close
