  • Arc de triomphe. You have to see this for the beauty of Paris. It's a must and it's pretty easy to get there. When you see it, you will say, I'm really in France. Wow! It's protected by a traffic circle, which you must go underneath.

  • The Eiffell Tower was originally a giant radio antenna, but of course the Parisians had to make something so obtrusive, so beautiful. It is the most renowned symbol in the world. You see a picture of the tower and you're from Ethiopia, you think of France. The trip to the top is worth it in my opinion. You can really tell the difference from a North American city from a European one. You can also get your bearings down.

  • The Louvre is a trouist trap supreme, but if you went to Paris and did not go here, you might as well have not gone at all. I've been to Paris three times and each time I go, I go to the Louvre. Why? Because each time I go, I see an entire different wing. It literally is that big. The most impressive works of man are housed here, rivaled only by the Prado and the Met (NYC) in my opinion.
