What to Do
There will always be memorable milestones in every traveller’s life, and seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time is one of them. You can’t really say you’ve been to Paris if you haven’t caught a glimpse of the statuesque structure.
Coming in close is The Louvre, the world’s largest art museum. The home to French kings, including Louis XIV, was transformed into a museum in the 18th century and has witnessed dynamic art movements since then.
Really bask in the ambience by strolling along the Champs-Élysées, one of the most famous streets in the world. This avenue runs from Place de la Concorde, another of Paris’ famed public squares, to the Arc de Triomphe, one of the most recognisable monuments in the city – both are worth a visit.
Roam the art, cultural and historical side of the city by checking out Sainte Chapelle cathedral, boasting exceptional displays of stained glass. Last but not least, who doesn’t want to experience Versailles, a royal chateau on the outskirts of Paris. In 1682, Louis XIV moved the royal court from The Louvre to the Palace of Versailles, and the rest is history.
