Paris - My favourite destination!

by tango_jd - last update: Apr 16, 2009

My favourite walk - Notre Dame to Champs Elysees

We always stay in the Latin Quarter because it is so lively and vibrant especially when walking-back to our hotel at night after dinner or a long stroll.
Also, it's on a direct RER line from CDG airport so no messing-about with suitcases on the Metro etc!
We always do our favourite walk starting at Notre Dame - and finishing-up somewhere near the Champs Elysees or the Eiffel Tower.
The Stravinsky Fountain

The Stravinsky Fountain

Great stop-off if you have kids with you who are maybe getting tired of being dragged-around old buildings!
There are plenty of restaurants and shops around this area too if you need a break.
Les Halles

Onwards through Les Halles gardens

Rather a disappointing shopping centre inside I feel - but the buildings are quite interesting and the gardens are a peaceful change from the crowds at Notre Dame etc.
On from here through the Louvre, Tulleries Gardens and past the Place de La Concorde to the Champs Elysees.

 You aren't the only one who is dissatisfied with the Forum Les Halles shopping centre. They have commissioned an architect named David Mangin to upgrade the complex, but he's having a tough time resolving the conflicting interests of everyone involved.
