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 street near the Champs-Élysées is known for its wide array of clothing shops, including nearly all of fashion's biggest names.
When in Paris, I always find time to stroll along Avenue Montaigne and do some window shopping. Unfortunately, many designer boutiques were closed in the evening with windows shuttered, but I took some photos of the opened ones and added to my “Avenue Montaigne”, (Paris) “Via Monte Napoleone” (Milan) and “The 5th Avenue” (NYC) collection. I never feel compelled to make a purchase - the window displays of the Avenue Montaigne are like a museum visit for me. The art of high design at its very best - Chanel, Valentino, Nina Ricci, Louis Vuitton... So enjoyable! I must admit that prices in the US are better though.

Really pretty bridge and close to D’orsey and other museums. Worthwhile to get up close and see all the details

These stunning gilded lampposts can be seen within the Place de la Concorde, we have found during our visit in Paris, the visitor will be rewarded with more beauty if they stop and look more into the structures. These posts are so ornate, We have never spent this much time looking at or noticing a lamppost. So worth it.

L'Harmonie Triomphant de la Discorde, or The Triumphant Harmony of Discord, is a beautifully made work of art, standing at the top of one end of the Grand Palais. There is another similar sculpture at the other end, called Immortality Advancing Time. Both are allegorical works of art. They are quite striking and are certainly worth stopping for.

I cannot tell a more appropriate place for the Unknown soldier tomb than this one beneath the Triumphal Arch. It is adorned with an eternal flame and ever present flowers. To reach it please use the underground passageway, do not try to run across the Etoile. Great views of Champs Elysees.

Fontaine des Fleuves is a beautiful fountain. This cast iron Fountain of the Rivers was constructed in 1838 and celebrates the Rhone and Rhine Rivers and France's naval power. It is next to the Egyptian obelisk and it also has a twin fountain on the other side of Place de la Concorde. Worth checking out.

The city's largest public square has a lengthy history as well - it served as the site of the guillotine that was used to execute Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette, Robespierre and many others during the French Revolution.
Place de la Concorde has so much to offer - the obelisk at the centre and so many sightseeing options in all directions - views of the Eiffel Tower, Place Vendome in one direction, Madeleine in another, Louvre & Jardins des Tuileries in yet another and Champs Elysees / Arc de Triomphe in the fourth!
