About Paris Attractions
Paris is history come alive. It’s like taking a time machine where you stroll the streets of larger-than-life historical figures such as King Louis XIII, Marie de Medici and Voltaire; View churches built in the 12th Century (Notre Dame); And visit neighborhoods where Thomas Jefferson (Palais-Royal) and Benjamin Franklin (Trocadéro- Passy) once lived. Then of course there’s the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, the Panthéon and the walkways along the River Seine.
It pays, too, to read the historical placards posted all throughout the city in front of imposing buildings such as Palais Bourbon, Sainte-Chapelle and Musée d’Orsay, beautifully landscaped parks and gardens such as the Tuileries, Parc Monceau and Jardins du Luxembourg, and ancient churches such as La Madeleine, they offer a sort of teaser to the legends of the city.

Expert Tips for Paris Attractions
-
Body Float: "The water is 100% cleaned and filtered and additionally put through an ultra UV purifying light between each guest. It's also filtered again all night long. This experience is very hygienic, perhaps even more so than at the habitual massage spa. At this location, too, there is one couple's Float, so be sure to request it if that's what you want."
-
Street Musicians: "Once upon a time, I remember seeing loads of musicians in the metro. Any more, the Parisian street musicians seem to be seeking the outdoors. And who can blame them? When you can play on a bridge named after one of the patron saints of France - Pont Saint-Louis - why would you play anywhere else?"
-
College des Bernardins: "This summer the College des Bernardins is hosting a 3D immersive viewing of the reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral, post fire. It is free and open to all ages."
