PARIS--A PERSONAL LOVE AFFAIR!

by lmkluque - last update: Jan 30, 2006

Beyond the Usual Tourist Sites!

Picnic on the Quay
Welcome to my Paris page,

If you have experienced the majesty of Paris already, there is nothing more I can tell you.

However, if you are contemplating your first trip, I can tell you plenty--but not enough to prepare you for the awesome, personal experience that is Paris!! Each of us who love Paris may have very different reasons for doing so and it is no mystery why that is. In Paris you will find something to attract every personality type!

History, romance and style, can be found throughout the city of Paris. Avoid being overwhelmed, have a plan of what to do and see before you arrive. The City is divided into 20 districts, Arrondissements, beginning at the center and circling out. It is easy to compartmentalize your sight seeing by working your way through each district. The Metro system is efficient and the easiest way to get around the city. Walking around will bring you up close and personal with the offerings of this generous city.

I hope you enjoy your visit,
Linda
A Miniature of The Statue of Liberty

A Gift From France!

A ride down the Siene is a wonderful way to see some of the most famous sites of Paris.

I expected to see the Tour Eiffel, Notre Dame and the beautiful bridges crossing the River. What I did not expect to see was the Statue of Liberty looming before me!

Every visit to Paris offered such delightful surprises. Some spectacular and some subtle, but all served to enrich my experience of this extraordinary city. You may not be impressed with the same type of things that impress me, but I am confident that you will be impressed with the offerings of Paris.

Behind The Scenes

I had several offers for a glimpse of "behind-the-scenes" areas and enjoyed a view of Paris not on the tourist route. If the opportunity presents itself to you, jump at the chance, you won't be disappointed.

Did you know that in the middle of those massive blocks of architecturally distinctive buildings, an outdoor garden or sometimes two are crafted? This balcony surrounds the inside square of the building and the views are priceless.

 Paris, I am sorry other countries, is really the capital of Europe! :) They really deserve this title!;)
