Paris, “The City of Light,” is famous for its romance, wine and stunning beauty. The city has been written about by many, but the one element that eludes most writers has been the ability to capture the city’s magic. Paris is alive; Paris is electric; and Paris is a city that takes hold of your heart and will never let you go.
Visitors can fly into the city through Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) or Paris-Orly Airport (ORY). You can book your flight through EscapeWizard.com by following this link (www.escapewizard.com/flight.php). Spectacular hotels fill Paris, France. You can view our top selections below. Crowne Plaza is in our minds the highlight hotel of the city, and we suggest it. Just click on this link (www.escapewizard.com/hotels.php?flag=htl) to book through EscapeWizard.com.
When you think of Paris there is one structure that comes to mind: The Eiffel Tower. First built for the Paris Exposition in 1889, the Eiffel Tower is an enormous structure of exposed latticework supports crafted from puddle iron. To get to the top you can brave the climb (over 600 steps) or can stand in line for the elevator. Whichever you choose I promise that the view of this wonderful city will be worth your patience and time.
Musée du Louvre is, arguably, one of the world grandest museums. Beginning its existence as a humble fortress in the 12th century, it grew to the heights of extravagance as the Royal Palace in the mid 1300’s. After the French Revolution the Louvre began its new life as home to some of the worlds greatest art work. You can easily spend an entire day wondering through the many galleries, admiring the stunning sculptures and paintings. There are the “Big Three” that you just can’t miss: Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Winged Victory. But there are also about 35,000 pieces of art spanning decades, centuries, and all of them are breath taking. EscapeWizard.com recommends buying the museum’s guide book and taking a moment to get your bearings. Decided what you simply have to see before you leave this magnificent museum.
Cathédrale de Notre-Dame is one of Paris’ most enduring symbols. Construction on the cathedral began in 1163 and completed in 1345, but was horribly damaged during the French Revolution. In the 19th century, architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc set about restoring the cathedral. While the Notre Dame is not the largest or oldest church in France, there are very few that can compete with its architectural beauty. The hand carved detail on the exterior and interior of the structure is enough to render even the most seasoned traveler speechless. Looking at the sheer size of the building it is hard to believe that men spent hours, hanging from ropes, carving the statues into the face of the church. Inside is just as awe inspiring; soaring vaulted ceiling, delicately crafted arch ways and stain class window. Music fills the building and you would swear that the structure was singing its welcome. If you time your visit to coincide with a service then admission is free for visitors.
After several days of sightseeing, you will have seen some of the cities most famous destinations, and now you want to relax. Well, how does a romantic dinner on the Seine sound to you? According to the locals, the river Seine doesn’t just run through the heart of Paris it is the heart of Paris. It soothes romance and relaxation into this breath taking city. Take your lover on one of the many cruises up and down the river. Enjoy each others company, see the beautiful skyline of Paris at night, and savor the gourmet delights that the French are famous for.
No matter how long your stay, Paris is a city that will leave you wanting more. It is a place that is hard to forget and even harder to stay away from. So head on over to EscapeWizard.com and book your trip to this magical city.
