  • We got on the underground one afternoon and said we would get off at the end of the line.La Defence. I didnt know anything about the area and was extremely pleased that we had done this trip, and can now boast that I have seen it.

  • It was a choice between here and Disney Land, my son was about 8 years old and we had gone to Paris on a shoe string, and we could only afford one of the attractions. I left it entirely up to him and he chose here, good choice, he really doesnt like fun fairs, and we had a splendid day also a very educational day!

  • Just to visit Notre Dame is an experience in itself. The outside is as impressive as the inside, this picture was taken from a boat trip on the river. Its a must when in Paris

  • The first time I went inside I cried at it beauty, the nuns were singing and it was just magical, I vowed if ever I had children I would take them there to have that same experience.10 years later I did return with my son and yes he felt the same thing as I had done. He vows to take his children when he has them.

  • We didnt not go in the Louvre as the queue was enormous, but as you can see by the weather it was too nicer day to be inside , so we spent most of the afternoon just sitting people watching.

  • Very impressive from the ground but if you a brave enough to go up to the top the views a spectacular, I only have them on camera as I dont like heights, my partner took them for me. There is a sub way under the busy road to get to the monument do not attempt to cross theroad by any other means, not recommended!
