Paris needs no introduction. Being the dream destination for millions of people every year, Paris is known for its food, culture, fashion, and extravagant architecture. Take a stroll along the Seine and marvel at famous iconic structures like the Eiffel Tower and the Cathédrale Notre Dame. Linger over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café or see a show at the Moulin Rouge. No matter how long or how often you’ve been to Paris, there is always something exquisite and unique you have not yet seen.

Paris, known as the “City of Love”, is overflowing with culture, art, beauty, and history. Find yourself searching out Monet’s Water Lilies at Musée de l’Orangerie, climbing the 270 steps to reach the Sacré-Cœur, marvelling over the beauty of the renovated Picasso Museum, or searching out the best crepes along the Seine. Paris is a divine city that deserves to share its beauty and magic with anyone.

Musée du Louvre

The Louvre Museum is the world’s largest art museum located on the Right Bank of the Seine as a central landmark of the city. Approximately 38,000 objects from prehistory to the 21st century are exhibited in the museum, with works including Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci and The Scream by Edvard Munch. In 2017, the Louvre was the world;s most visited art museum, receiving 8.1 million visitors. 

Eiffel Tower

Visiting the Eiffel Tower is a must when visiting Paris. While originally a temporary installation, intended to stand for twenty years after being built for the 1889 World Fair, the popularity and beauty of the 320m-tall structure assured its survival. Take the lift to the top of the tower, or for the more energetic visitors, climb the 704 stairs to the 2nd floor of the tower. 

Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris

As Paris’s most visited unticketed site, the Notre Dame Cathedral is visited by on average 14 million visitors per year. The cathedral is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. With its spectacular rose windows, treasury and bell towers, and sculptural decoration, the cathedral shows the heavy influence of naturalism, unlike that of earlier Romanesque architecture.
