    Excellent, the area is clean, busy as one would expect. Security is very high which makes you feel safe. A lot to see in the surrounding areas. The Tower itself is great to look at, i would advise go before sunset because the view at night is astonishing.

    It’s a huge place full of beautiful pieces, paintings from many cultures! Big building, all is full of history! I couldn’t see even like 4 rooms of all the building!! So each time I could visit Paris I’ll visit it to see more new things i ate in a restaurant in the museum and its was good, so it’s a very good place to visit always

    We had been here before many years ago but did not spend much time here then. Many wonderful impressionist paintings by Monet, Manet, Renoir, Cezanne and van Gogh and many others. There is also great sculpture, including by Rodin. It is an old train station. We took our time to explore.

    Notre-Dame de Paris is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Its elaborate detailing, soaring spires and breathtaking story-telling stained glass windows will leave you in awe. A must-see for architecture lovers.

    We had arrived to Paris early in the morning, and had to drop our luggage at a Stasher location so we picked one next to these gardens. Once our luggage was dropped off, we got to go right into the gardens and it was such a nice visit. Everything is nice and open, lots of shade trees, and it was just a beautiful place to relax, grab a chair, and do some people watching. We loved the grand basin, we got to see one of the statues of liberty, and we got to use the public restrooms, (which are actually very nice). We finished our visit by stopping by the Medici fountain and then headed out of the gardens to continue our sightseeing for the day. It was a very relaxing stop and I'm so glad we didn't miss it!

    Great visit to top of Arc de Triomphe, go at dusk to get the best views of the Eiffel Tower and book online to save queuing. Worth the climb for the views.

    Incredible Basilica on top of the high point of Paris.
    This would be my 5th Paris trip and 5th visit to Sacre-Coeur and I love it every time. I think I am enjoying it more and more as I get older and appreciate the history and architecture more now. Absolutely lovely to walk through and look out across Paris city. Stunning anytime of day.

    Our first time to go visit Seine River as a family and we had a lot of fun. The view at night was stunning and gorgeous. Highly recommended

    We booked a guided tour called 'Les Mystères du Palais Garnier (English)' at 5pm. Overall, it is a tremendous experience, way above expectation.

    1. We were actually 10 minutes late, but the staff was able to quick confirm our booking simply by asking my last name, and quickly guided us to the correct touring group. Friendly and efficiently.

    2. The lady leading the tour is knowledgeable, passionate, humorous and friendly. I'm able to uncover lots of stories and facts related to Palais Garnier, which really enriches my trip here.

    3. As a bonus, the 5pm tour time meant we practically had the Palais Garnier to ourselves! It was a wonderful way to avoid the usual crowds.

    Montmartre, in Paris, is a charming artistic district full of history. Strolling the streets, you will find charming cafes, quaint stores and incredible views of Paris from the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. It is a perfect place for art lovers and those looking for the bohemian spirit of Paris.

    Notre Dame Cathedral was still closed for repairs from the fire when we were in Paris, so we wanted to go to St Chapelle, an old cathedral nearby, as we were told about the beautiful stain glass windows. We were told correctly, as the windows were beautiful. We walked over without an online reservation as it was a Tuesday and we did not think we needed one. We were wrong- big line, so we made online timed reservations to avoid waiting longer. Make timed online reservations ahead of time. There is a lower level and upper level so see it all. This cathedral was originally completed in 1248- amazing how it has lasted.

    We spent some time walking mourned the Marais, exploring this charming and historic area. The Marais covers the 3rd & 4th Arrondissements and is an easy place to walk around and discover narrow cobblestone streets with eclectic shops and boutiques, old aristocratic mansions, cafes and lovely architecture..
    The highlights were the Place des Vosges, two free museums and the best ever croque monsieur at a little wine-bar.
    We took the following route:
    i) We started from Notre Dame and strolled along the Seine, past the Ile St Louis (the less famous of Paris’ two small islands).
    ii) Along the way, we stopped to browse at the ‘bouquinistes’, the vintage book and poster sellers who unpack their stalls every day from the little green boxes that sit along the walls of the Seine River. Fortunately they were not moved on for the Olympics.
    iii) From there, we made our way to the Place de la Bastille
    iv) Next we walked to the Place des Vosges, often said to be the prettiest square in Paris.
    v) Nearby is a hidden gem - the Victor Hugo Museum. Stepping into his house was like stepping into a time warp. The lavish 19th century furnishings, as well as ceramics, sculptures, manuscripts, photographs, letters, and paintings have been preserved as a small museum. Entry is free.
    vi) We stopped for a light lunch and a glass of wine at Vins des Pyrenees where we sat outside the sun (this is where we discovered the croque monsieur)
    vii) Our final stop was the Carnavalet, another free museum. It was excellent and we could have easily spent a couple of hours but we had limited time and in just one hour, we barely scratched the surface.
