1
Eiffel Tower
We all hate
lining up. It can be reduced by buying your ticket online, arriving
early and avoiding peak times like holidays and just about all of
summer. You need to balance this against why you are there in the
first place. Sometimes you just have to wait. Bring a book with
you.
The Eiffel
Tower lights up every night with sparkling lights, you don't have
to wait in line to see it and it doesn’t cost a thing.
The Paris
Pass
A Paris Pass
will save you time and money.
2
The Louvre
Besides
The Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo there is much to see at the Louvre.
Allow plenty of time, hire an audio guide and undertake some homework
to get the most from your visit. You could easily spend days here.
The
Louvre is open from 9am Wednesday to Monday. It is closed on Tuesday
to the give the art a rest from being stared at. The Louvre closes
at 6pm except on Wednesday when it stays open until 9:45 p.m.
There
are almost always long queues at the Pyramid entrance of the Louvre
so don't go there. Avoid the long queues, try the entrance at the
Porte des Lions or directly from the Metro station. Better still,
buy your ticket in advance (See Paris
Pass)
Man can not
live by art alone. There are various sources of sustenance at the
Louvre and it easy to pay too much and be disappointed. My advice
is ensure you eat a large healthy breakfast before you go in and
plan to nosh it up after you leave. It makes it easier to be picky
when aren't visualising your companion as a pork chop (even he or
she is one).
3
Arc de Triomphe
If
you wish you can climb to the top of the Arc de Triomphe although
it is debatable if it is really worth it.
4
Notre Dame
Notre
Dame is a building that impresses from both inside and out. As the
sun streams through its stunning stain-glassed windows Notre Dame
may touch in such a way as to leave you breathless and possibly
your boyfriend as well.
If
you want to ogle at the gargoyles arrive early to avoid queuing
for too long and climb the towers.
It’s
a long haul, best undertaken early morning or late evening (when
allowed to). For more Parisian Gothic cathedral experiences try
Saint Denis.
5 (13) Les
Invalides
Les
Invalides contains Napoleon huge Tomb.
