Notre Dame de Paris: claustrophobics need not apply here!

  • Fondest Memory: Another in a growing list of Favorite Memories of Paris: our hike up the tiny, winding, stone staircases here at the towers of Notre Dame Cathedral. Yes, there are over 300 of these cramped, little steps to contend with on your trek up (and back down...,) but ohhhhh! the views of the city from the top are spectacular!

  • Fondest Memory: You will have a fine time in Paris even if you never make it to the courtyards surrounding the PALAIS ROYAL near the Louvre, but if you do find yourself strolling across the gravel here, find these cool, silvery spheres which are actually a fountain of sorts. Take a picture of yourself, reflected in them, and think you are such an artist. Then you may leave. ;-)))

    La Seine: Stake your claim!
  • Tip Rating:

  • Fondest Memory: Paris was made for walking and exploring and finding your own little corner to enjoy in your way. Even along the busy Seine, you can block out the world and lose yourself in your book, as this lucky gentleman did here...

    Musée Rodin: Musee Rodin
  • Tip Rating:
  • Paris Musée Rodin
  • another Parisian gem

  • Send Photo to a Friend

  • Fondest Memory: Flowers in bloom aren't necessary in order to enjoy the gardens here at Musee Rodin. Inside, of course, you find some wonderful sculptures by the artist and his contemporaries; outside, you may wander the paths and marvel at some truly fab neighborhood architecture!

    Parks, Gardens, & Squares: Dusk settles in at the Tuilleries
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: first of all, stay in a hotel in the 1st arr, near the Louvre and the Tuilleries Gardens. Then be walking back to your place just as the waning sun is casting its last golden pinky rays across the *ciel*...the resulting display of painterly colors behind the Tuilleries ferris wheel...aaaah, can one describe this as *romantic*? I think so...

  • Fondest Memory: I enjoyed watching this little fellow running around...don't worry, his mom and another grownup and baby were with him, he wasn't exactly doing Paris by himself!

    Invalides: enjoy les Invalides in B&W for a change!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: One of the first places I'd take a Paris newcomer would be Les Invalides here, home of Napolean and his myriad of tombs, a fabulous armory and artilleries museum, and massive amounts of ambience...enough for a repeat visit even. So there!

    Driving: Toy cars for real people

  • room for you and that's IT!

  • Fondest Memory: Paris streets have no room for vehicles much bigger than this micro car. Parking, too, is at a premium worse than any other city I've seen, including New York.
