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 historic street is most famous for its assortment of old cafés.
Boulevard St. Germain is a great street. We walked along this beautiful stretch a number of times. It is a busy area, full of cafes, restaurants, many other shops, and people. It has a very long history, and it was the centrepiece of the new city design back in the 19th century. A must, to walk on.

This beautiful neo-classical building serves as a meeting place for the country's politicians, while its beautiful gardens are enjoyed by all.
Luxembourg Palace was built in the first half of the 17th century as a royal residence. It has had some really interesting and intriguing history. Today it is the place where the Senate, part of the French Parliament meets. It is quite a luxurious building, and you would expect nothing less!

This fountain, located in front of the St. Sulpice church, honors four of France's most famous Christians.
Saint Sulpice is a fantastic church to visit and also outside is this amazing fountain with water coming out of lions and statues of bishops at the top. Truly amazing fountain.

Don't leave your hotel room without your credit card: this busy shopping street is lined with pricey antique shops and boutiques.
The rue Bonaparte is a great street in Paris for visitors to use. With a little bit of hedging it connects the Luxembourg Gardens to the Tuileries by way of the Pont des Arts and the Louvre. After exploring the Luxembourg Gardens you can pick up the rue Bonaparte by exiting at the bottom left as you face the Seine. It's just across the rue Vaugirard. Walking towards the river there is a nice fountain to see and at least one permanent statue to photograph, plus, usually, a few surprises along the way. The street intersects the Blvd. St. Germain just at les Deux Magots and the Eglide St. Germain des Pres, but if you are tempted to stop for a drink, walk one more block to the Cafe Bonaparte. Six or seven blocks farther along will take you to the river just at the Pont des Arts, a pedestrian bridge with a great view of the tip of the Ile de la Cite to the right and about a half of the Eiffel Tower to the left. (You can come out here after dark and watch as the Seine tourist boats sail underneath you , all lit up, and watch the tower twinkle on the hour.) On the other side of the bridge is an entrance to an inner courtyard of the Louvre. To the left there is an exit out past the pyramids, then into the Tuileries Gardens. Voila! From the Luxembourg Gardens to the Tuileries via the rue Bonaparte. Kinda.

Created in the mid 80’s this is quite an impressive sculpture (mythical creature, body of horse, head of man) standing at 5 meters high, if you look closely at the breastplate you will see a miniature statue of Liberty.
