Paris France Travel Guide | Complete Guide to Visit Paris
Paris is situated in Northern France on the banks of the River Seine. With a population of over twelve million people, the French capital is at the heart of the Île-de-France region. Paris earned her name, The City of Light, during The Age of Enlightenment, when many visionary ideas were born.
It is a light that has remained undimmed, and which now attracts 42 million visitors a year, making Paris the most visited city in all the world. Paris is a city easily explored by Metro, taxi, and bicycle, but her charms are best found on foot. Her attractions are never far apart, and in between, well, merely walking her streets is to wander through picture post cards.
The engine room of Paris is La Defense. This modern business district, filled with light and art, is testimony that Paris is designed for living, even when at work. From the futuristic Grande Archie at La Defense, the six mile-long Historic Axis of Paris leads us back into France's grand past. The Art de Triumphed, built by Napoleon, rises from the center of Place Charles de Gaulle and offers commanding views of the 12 grand avenues, which radiate outwards like a star.
Once a 14th Century Palace, today the Louvre is the most visited art gallery in the world. With over 35,000 artworks, her most famous residents are the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. But be warned, this collection of priceless art works and antiquities is simply too vast to explore in just one day. Not far from the Muse du Louvre stands the Center Pompidou, displaying the largest collection of modern art in Europe.
From the Art de triumph, The Champs-Élysées continues along the Historic Axis. This grand avenue is where Parisians come to dine, shop, enjoy the theater and to celebrate life. Gradually opening into formal gardens and majestic buildings, The Champs-Élysées merges into the largest square in Paris, the Place de la Concorde. Just a short stroll away is the world's greatest treasure-house of art, the Muse du Louvre.
Parisians are still debating whether this radical design is the vision of a madman or a genius! Note Dame Cathedral is situated on Île de la Cite, a natural island in the River Seine. Completed in 1345, this Gothic masterpiece with her flying butter sees and gargoyles has played center stage to some of the defining moments of French history and literature.
Parisians see it as their duty to enjoy life to its fullest. The Luxembourg Gardens, with its Grand Basin, fruit groves, and over 100 statues and fountains is the ideal place to grab a deck chair and play the 'Parisian at rest'. Nothing says Paris like the Eiffel Tower. The Iron Lady can be seen from all over the city. However, nothing can prepare you for the moment when you first stand at her feet, or the views from the top that you will hold dear for a lifetime.
Looking north, the city rises into the hill side neighborhood of Mont maître. Once the artistic center of Paris, her twisting streets and narrow lanes were at one time the home of Picasso, Dali and Van Gogh. They are the perfect place to lose yourself and discover those special Parisian moments. But you can never be lost for long in Montmartre, as long as you head upwards you'll eventually come to her gleaming white crown, Sacré-Cœur Basilica.
Leave the bustling city behind and step through the gates of The Cime tire du Pere-Lachaise. Here, amid the quiet world of bird song and introspection, you can pay your respects to Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, and some of the world's greatest minds for whom Paris is now forever home. Once a day's coach journey from central Paris, the Palace of Versailles is now an easy half-hour train ride away.
This magnificent 17th century Château welcomes everyone, from heads of state to backpackers. The River Seine runs right through the heart of Paris, creating a natural divide between her famous Left and Right Banks. Of her 37 bridges, The Pont Alexander III is considered the most ornate, while the graceful Pont Des Arts offers some incredible vistas of the city. Artists and photographers gather here to capture the light, while lovers attach padlocks to the railings as if to say.

The beauty to travel to France has been shown fantastically in this blog. You can easily get the knowledge of things to visit in France when you travel to France.
I always wanted to visit famous places in France since it was on my bucket list. But, France will be ticked off this year due to your helpful blog. I was trying to get a brief guide on obtaining a France Visa UK.
this is one of the best guides that I have came through, the reason behind that is, it has all the necessary information for new travelers like me. I would be getting my France Visa UK in this month itself and then I will travel to France, I am already ready with my packed backpacks.
Travel guide is a must when you are a new traveler and you do not know anything about the place you are travelling to, if you explore online as well then also it is impossible to collect all the details for the place. I was very young when I first traveled to France and I still remember the stupid things I did and I am sure that the people of age would do the same in excitement, but now I realize that if we are travelling to a new place we should first read a proper travel guide it will help us in one way or the other. I am soon going to write more about Online France visa UK because I am seen many people struggling with the process of applying for schengen visa.
