Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

This famous cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture on which construction began in the 12th century, stands on the Île de la Cité and is the symbolic heart of the city.
A must visit landmark Cathedral in Paris, I turned up at 7:45 AM.. early and entered inide at 8 : 00 AM, the exterior architecture is amazing magnificent , the cathedral is stunning with ornate and intricate statues and two bell tower , he facade of the Cathedral is well designed in Gothic architectural style, the interiors of the cathedral is impressive with high column and glass works ,as i walked inside the cathedral i was just lost in the era of the Gothic Period. This is one of the best cathedral that i ve ever visited in my life. You can capture some of the stunning views of the cathedral . My suggestion to visit the cathedral is enter the cathedral in the morning early hours , when the crowd is less, the entry is free, but you have to stand in line to enter and security check is there. the touristic crowd and group tour pours in so visit at early is always the best to enjoy your visit to this marvelous masterpiece.. At evening hour the views of the cathedral is also stunning...there is a huge open space in front of the cathedral for capturing beautiful views.

Located on the Île de la Cité, this memorial is dedicated to the 200,000 French citizens who died in concentration camps during World War II.
We happened to stumble across this memorial site. The surface looks like a small, peaceful park, and overlooks the Seine. Once you are inside, the weight of the memorial will come down on you. An extremely moving site, and something to see for all.

The main street on Paris's Île St-Louis.
Many years ago we rented an apartment on this lovely street and had the time of our lives for 6 months. The island has changed, not for the better, alas, now full of tourists and it has become the land of ice cream with one ice cream stand after another. But still, the architecture is lovely, and the block at the end of the island toward the East is still sublime and quiet.

Cobble-stoned neighborhood featuring quiet shops, cafes and bistros.
Ile Saint-Louis is one of 2 islands in the middle of the Seine. Its streets are filled with 17th and 18th century architecture with lots of quaint shops, cafes and restaurants. The island is quite small and easily walk-able and a must for anyone visiting Paris

Splendid example of baroque architecture, this mansion is now a museum of art and artifacts of 19th century French literary and art figures.
I always enjoy tours with Thierry Heil because they are frequently "off the beaten path" and not the places every tourist has on their list. This was definetly the case with Hotel de Lauzen, a private home dating from the 17th Century located on the Isle Saint-Louis If you walked past this imposing building you might never imagine the glories hidden inside! Entering from the street was like stepping back in time. Theirry made the rooms come alive with his stories of the families who lived in this amazing place, including the legendary parties attended by Victor Hugo and Baudelaire!

A visit of the Towers of Notre Dame de Paris, built from 1160 in the Flamboyant Gothic style, gives visitors a close-up view of the Cathedral's flying buttresses, spires and roofs. Gargoyles and chimeras adorn the outer gallery of the North Tower with its ribbed vaulting and spiral staircase, while the South Tower houses the belfry and Emmanuel, the great bourdon bell. The upper gallery provides magnificent views of Paris, the Seine and the succession of bridges across the river.

These fountains are ubiquitous, just adding to the architectural beauty of Paris, the ladies holding up the fountain, (the four caryatids), represent kindness, simplicity, charity and sobriety. It was quite fun seeking them out during our travels.
