What can I do in Paris?
The best way to see Paris is by walking along the banks of the River Seine. This artery that runs through the city is where you can find most of the city’s attractions, such as the Notre Dame, the Bastille, the Louvre, the Champs-Élysées, and of course, the iconic Eiffel Tower.
Enjoy the gardens, museums, and fabulous shopping opportunities during the day, and the fine dining, and bars in the evening. Outside of the city, you can book a trip to the glorious Palace of Versailles. Read more about the things to do in Paris here.
