If you are in the Eiffel Tower area, you can board for a cruise on the Seine.

The Louvre, one of the most beautiful museums in the world
A magnificent museum to do and redo! More than 35,000 works on display (among the 500,000 belonging to the museum): from the Middle Ages to 1848, on ancient civilizations, on the Arts of the first Christians and Islam. And major pieces such as the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the Victory of Samothrace... To avoid queues, it is advisable to get tickets to the Louvre in advance.

Notre-Dame and the Île-de-la-Cité, the heart of Paris
Since the fire of Notre-Dame de Paris, access to the cathedral is no longer possible. However, you can walk all around on the Ile-de-la-Cité and Ile-Saint-Louis. This is the historic heart of Paris! Next to Notre-Dame de Paris, we also advise you to the visit of the Conciergerie and the Saint-Chapelle church as well as the Archeological Crypt.
Montmartre and the Sacré-Coeur, a mad charm
We love the atmosphere, the view from the Sacré-Coeur, the café terraces, the nice little restaurants, getting lost in the alleys... On weekends, it's a crazy world! But no matter, Montmartre is a place where we like to go for a walk. For the curious and game lovers, the Escape Games in Montmartre are TOP (❤) to learn more about the neighbourhood while having fun. Also to be done with family or friends, the Montmartre Enigma WalkVery nice (without guide). And did you know, that there was also Street Art in Montmartre !
The Musée d'Orsay, an extraordinary museum
❤ ❤ ❤ It is one of our favourite museums (with the Jacquemart André Museum). Everything is beautiful: the works exhibited, the architecture of the place... It is an absolutely magnificent place which hosts one of the most beautiful impressionist collections in the world! If you cross the Seine and you like museums, you will enjoy the Louvre Museum and the Orangery Museum.
The Champs-Elysées, of course
Tourists and Parisians walk there for pleasure or for a shopping trip. It is one of the most beautiful avenues in the world! 2km walk from the Arc de Triomphe to La Concorde. Don't miss the view from the Arc de Triomphethe perspective is very beautiful (and it's free for children).
