There are so many interesting things to see in Paris, it might be hard to start narrowing down the list. Hopefully this guide will help give you an idea of just what sites in Paris should be on any tourist's schedule.
Of course, this guide doesn't replace a guided tour - try to take a day tour or possibly two if you can, just to get a better idea what would fit your personal idea what should be seen. Besides, it's a good idea to get a general grasp of how the city's arranged before you begin moving about without anyone who actually knows Paris. I suggest that you stay in a hotel that you can pronounce the name of. With these things in mind, you should have a great time in Paris!
When people talk about Paris, they inevitably mention the Eiffel Tower. Who wouldn't love a view of the entire city of Paris?! The tower is open in the summer from 9:30AM until Midnight and during the winter from 10:00AM to 11:00PM every day of the week.
The Louvre is another obvious selection on any quick tour of Paris, especially for art lovers. Housing tens of thousands of artworks, the Louvre really does live up to it's phenomenal reputation.
The Notre Dame Cathedral is another great place to visit, and is open year round. Unfortunately, there is limited mobility access in most places. Not only is Notre Dame a great tourist destination, it's also free of charge.
The largest public park in the nation, Luxembourg Gardens is a great destination for nature lovers. The scenery here is absolutely breathtaking. There is something for everyone here with attractions for the kids as well that include a carousel, ponies, and puppet shows.
Located on the Seine River, Paris Plage is a great beach with many attractions. It is run by the city of Paris and each year new attractions are added. It is free to go to the beach but each individual attraction has its own admission price.
