Paris Porcelain
The Highlight of Paris
Paris is known as the City of Romance, and the city is a great place to go with your partner for a romantic weekend. In Paris you find everything from great food and shopping to some very interesting sights.
The Eiffel Tower is without doubt the landmark of Paris. The tower was constructed in 1889 for the World Exhibition. Originally it should have been demolish afterwards, but it was decided to keep it instead. Until 1931 when the Empire State Building was built, the 319 meter (1047 feet) high Eiffel Tower was the tallest building in the world.
A visit in the high season demands patience. Because of the limited capacity of the elevators, the line can be very long. Another option, if you do not want to wait a couple of hours, is to take the 1.665 stairs instead. Whatever you take the elevator or the stair, your reward will be a fantastic view. On a sunny day, you can see as long as 70 kilometers (about 43 miles
You might know the Louvre Museum from The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. But the museum is more than an important part of a book; it is also a great place for art watching. The most famous pieces are probably Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and the Greek statue Venus from Milo.
But in the old building from 1190 there is much more to see. Here you find everything from Egyptian and Greek ancient art to fashion and design from today. So one day is not enough, if you want to see it all.
Other must see places in Paris are the Notre Dame Cathedral, Champs-Elyses and Versailles about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the city. If you bring kids, the Disneyland is also very popular place to visit.
You can also do some heavy shopping in Paris. You can find all the famous luxury trademarks in the department stores. When it comes to haute couture fashion houses, Rue du Faubourg-St-Honor on the right side of the Seine is the place to go. Look for Yves Saint Laurent, Giorgio Armani, Pierre Cardin, Chanel, and Christian Dior.
If you are more into markets, Paris is a great city. You can find old postcards, porcelain, musical instruments and books at the March de la Porte de Vanves market. Superb food can be bought at the Rue Mouffetard market, while cheap souvenir is found around Rue de Rivoli.
Finish your day on one of the great restaurants with a typical French dish and a glass of red wine; or try a sunset cruise on the Seine. If you have more energy, you can party on all night in one of the many nightclubs.
