    Just avoid touristic areas: they are expensive, specially restaurants. Back street restaurants are just as good as are cheaper hotels. Try the Jean Bart hotel in the 6th district close to the Luxembourg Gardens, great if you travel with children.

    A must see in Paris. Friends highly recommended that we eat lunch or dinner while there. However, we were not able to do either because of our schedule.
    A MUST see in Paris.

    There is nothing like the Louvre. It is a must see while in Paris. However, there were 4 of us in our group and all of us are savvy travelers, with many years of education and experiences. I would say that the time we spent on trying to make use of the audio set that we each paid $12 for was ridiculous and a huge waste of money. We spent way too much of our time in the museum looking at the audio and trying to find info about the artifacts then at the actual items in the museum. We would definitely would NOT get the audio again!

    It was ok. Not much to ser since it’s still under reconstruction from the fire in 2019 but still a cool thing to see. Impressed with the building in general.

    This place was probably the most spectacular inner-city gardens I have seen. Jardins de Luxembourg was the name, and it apparently was an old castle/mansion whose owners donated the gardens to the City. (I did not know it at the time of our visit, but learned that the French Senate now uses the mansion as its seat.)

    Green grass fields, flower-filled gardens, pathways, trees, tennis courts, sandboxes, merry-go-rounds, horse-back riding for kids, to name a few of the amenities. In the center was the mansion with the grounds fronting it - a huge fountain/pond, statues, and well-manicured lawns. While it did not seem crowded at all, there were probably thousands of visitors and children enjoying the park. Even though tired from the long walk, we had fun exploring many parts of the park. It even had a small-scale Statue of Liberty with a plaque noting the history of the statue and the gift to America.

    All it’s cracked up to be and more, truly great piece of architecture, great views from the top and watching the traffic going around is an attraction in itself, a must see

    Beautiful monument and is deffinitley worth the visit
    Be prepared for the climb and steps but there is trams at the bottom that go up and down and was €2.15 per trip! Bit pricey to be honest only on it for a minute or less.
    I have visited the church before but I found it very pricey this time? Was nearly €40 so just heads up. It is worth it dont get me wrong but did find it pricey

    Definitely a must do, whether you walk a large or small length of the river. Lots and lots to see (and do if you’d like a break from the walking).

    This is a gorgeous cathedral and has always been one of my favorites in Paris. However, with Notre Dame being closed, the lines to get in here have gotten out of control. You must buy a ticket in advance! If you did not and are reading this review standing in a long “no ticket line” then I have a tip for you! Go next door to the Conciergerie and buy a “combo ticket” for both attractions. Then you can go back to the Chapelle and enter straight away (or with whatever time slot is being allowed to go in). It’s a massive loop hole and worked like a charm for me. The Conciergerie is also a nice attraction and worth seeing as well so be sure to see both - especially if you paid for it!

    That being said, once your ticket is checked for the Chapelle you still have to go through security which is a massive pain and is a different unavoidable line. Lots of attractions in Paris have intense security but something about this one is terribly inefficient and slow. It needs to be addressed by management.

    We stayed in Montemartre as we did Paris centre a few years ago and wanted an alternative Paris this time.
    Montmartre delivers!
    Fabulous area to wander with lovely little streets, cafes and shops as well as some great sightseeing.
    Has more of a village feel but is a busy little hub of activity. Perfect for a Paris stay.

    A beautiful bridge, rain or shine. On overcast days the gold stands out even more. Ample photo opportunities. If you’re only going to visit one bridge, make this that one
