And I have not yet mentioned the superb selection of Parisienne
restaurants and cafes, the haute couture or a stroll beside the Seine.
There are the many monuments, art galleries, palaces, gardens and
museums to enjoy. But don’t worry because you can always come
back another day and they will still be there waiting for you.
Paris is one of the world’s most romantic and intriguing cities. The Eiffel
Tower (Tour Eiffel) is the focal point for many visitors. On a clear day
the views over the city and beyond are exquisite. Built in 1889 by
Gustav Eiffel, it was way ahead of its time. Take the lift to the third
stage and gaze over Paris at your leisure. You can even see the
enormous springs which it is mounted on if you go downstairs.
With the help of a guide book it is easy to soak in the atmosphere of
Paris on foot. The famous Champs Elysee leads to the Arc de Triomphe
where, apart from the obvious, you can be amazed at the hectic, non-
stop traffic that encircles it. For exclusive shopping the Place Vendome
is the place to visit; then relax with a coffee or aperitif in one of the
many pavement cafes.
To get the most out of your holiday budget, the Paris Pass allows you
into all the most popular attractions at a discounted rated. You also
avoid the queues by presenting your pass at the ticket desk. It is a
wonderful feeling to be treated as a VIP in Paris!
Outside Paris, the Chateau de Versailles is arguably the most opulent
structure in France. Originally built as a hunting lodge, later enlarged it
fell into disrepair after the French Revolution and was eventually
restored in 1952. Situated to the south west of Paris, you will need a
whole day to visit but take note, it is closed on Mondays.
For the kids (or the kid inside you), Disneyland has developed into a
great holiday in itself. Here you can meet all the favourite characters in
a never ending sea of colour, sound and lights.
Nightlife in Paris is as elegant as the city herself. Perhaps you would
like to book a show after dining in one of the many gourmet
restaurants for which France is so famous. Indulge in some great
wines and finish your meal with a great cognac. You will be utterly
spoilt for choice. Bon Apetit!
The French and Parisians in particular, love to be spoken to in their
own language, so making an effort in that direction will endear you to
them. Try learning a few phrases for ordering your drinks or your hotel
room. They may laugh a little at your pronunciation but at least you
tried and its fun too.
The weather in Paris is generally good from spring until the autumn
and surprisingly for some, August can be a great time to visit. It is
warm or even hot at times but it is also the time when many Parisians
take their holidays. Consequently it is not quite as crowded.
Getting to Paris is simple via the Charles de Gaulle or Orly airports and
you can even combine a visit to London using the Eurorail fast train if
your time permits.
Paris is for lovers. Lovers of culture, lovers of art, lovers of fashion, of
architecture, of history, of beauty and the list goes on. Put Paris on
your list of places to visit and you will become a lover too..

Parisienne Holiday
By Edward Kirwan
One night in Paris is simply not enough.
With so much to experience by day and by
night you simply must allow yourself more
time. If you close your eyes and name the
first five things that spring to mind you will
see what I mean.
The Eiffel Tower, The Champs Elysee,
Notre Dame, the Louvre, Montmartre, La
Moulin Rouge and not forgetting Disney
Land are some names that spring to mind.
Do you imagine for one moment you could
fit these into a day or a week-end stay in
Paris.
