Paris is considered by many to be the
capital of Europe and one of the
greatest cities in the world. There are
literally millions of things to do and see in
Paris so you will certainly never be bored.
In a city with more than 2 million people
Paris lives up to its high reputation. Some
of the best museums, restaurants,
buildings and parks can be found in the
enormous city.
Sights
If you only have the chance to see one
thing in the glorious city of Paris, France
then I strongly suggest you go to the
Louvre. The Musee du Louvre is easily the
world's most amazing museum and
probably the biggest as well. There is
literally something for every kind of art
lover whether it be renaissance paintings
or Greek architecture the Louvre has it all.
Another wonderful sight that you won't
want to miss is the Basilique du Sacre
Coeur. This breathtaking church looks like
something out of a Disney fairy tale as it
lies on top of a hill called Butte de
Montmartre. Now, I'm sure the first thing
every tourist wants to do is head directly
to the Eiffel Tower (which is better seen
at night) and then perhaps to Notre Dame
but please make time for the first two
previously mentioned sights as I'm certain
you will not regret it.
Weather
Paris has a strange type of weather
pattern as strong can suddenly fall at the
most random time imaginable. The winter
can get pretty cold with temperatures
ranging around 37 degrees Fahrenheit (3
degrees Celsius) and in the summer it can
jump to the 90s (30 Celsius).
Transportation
While inside the city boundaries I highly
recommend that you take advantage of
the outstanding public transportation
system in Paris, most notably the subway.
Many say it is the best in the world
because it is both dependable and easy to
use. There is literally a metro station
located every few blocks so it should not
be a problem for you to find one. If you
are having any difficulty then simply ask
someone or just look for the large "M" as it
will lead you there.
Paris is definitely one of the best cities on
Earth so no matter what you decide to do
on your trip there I'm sure it will be a
magical experience.
