Are you ready? Allons-y (Let’s go!)
- So Many Sights to See
So, what to do in Paris? There are so many sights to see, you won’t get the chance to visit them all. Without a doubt, the Eiffel Tower is the quintessential tourist attraction you’ve got to visit on your Paris vacay.
There are also many other iconic sights to see, such as the Arc de Triomphe and the Notredame (when it’s back to its former glory). Also try a river cruise along the Seine, a leisurely ramble through the park of Verdant, and a spooky tour of the Catacombs hidden underneath the city.
A Lourve museum tour is also a MUST DO when you visit Paris. Seeing the famous “Mona Lisa” painting is an obligatory thing to do for culture vultures visiting the city.
- The Mouth-Watering Cuisine
One of the most tantalizing things to do in Paris is to eat your way through the city! From tastebud-tingling patisseries to bistros and brasseries. The traditional food of France is the perfect hunting ground for the foodie within.
On top of the lip-smacking delights, nearly everywhere you go will have trademark awnings with outdoor seating. Grab a glass of wine and watch the world go by for an authentic “à la Parisien” experience!
- A Night on the Town
The city of lights boasts an abundance of entertainment for night owls. One of the best things to do in Paris is to check out a Cabaret performance, an Opera, or Ballet.
For something a bit more trendy, bar-hop the city visiting a variety of jazz clubs, Latin dance clubs, and unusual party venues.
- You Can Shop ’til You Drop
One of the best things to do in Paris is a bit of retail therapy. The fashion capital of the world lays out chic boutiques, elegant department stores, and luxury designer outlets.
If you’re looking for some budget-friendly shopping, look no further than the sprawling flea markets dotted around the city.
And for some cultural trinkets to take home, just take a walk down the Seine River. You’ll find vintage stands selling old books, artwork, and more.
- It’s the City of Love
Nobody has to tell you that Paris is the city of love. It’s one of the top places to visit on your honeymoon after all.
To add to your amorous agenda, don’t forget to add a vintage horse-drawn carriage ride or a picnic in the park. Visit The Wall of Love where you’ll find the words “I Love You” written in 250 languages. And enjoy a romantic meal for two at the Eiffel Tower with panoramic views.
- Fun for ALL
As well as Paris being the city of love, it’s also surprisingly fun for the entire family. For starters they have Disneyland!
In the city itself, explore on a Segway tour, or visit the Chocolate Museum. There’s also the Grevin Wax Museum or Parc Asterix for some more family fun.
