Ah,Paris the incomparable!Whether you've suddenly found yourself with travel brochures
in your hand or you prefer to travel from your armchair,Paris is one of those cities with wide
open arms.
Where to begin Well,follow me!
Louvre
Many people lose interest when you talk about museums,but you know where we are
heading,don't you This is one of the top 10.Wear comfortable shoes,prepare enough water,
and know what you want to see.The Mona Lisa may not be your cup of tea,but we recommend
at least Liberty Leading the People,The Raft of the Medusa,and so on.
Musee d'Orsaya
If you can do without art-although we doubt anyone can-we'd recommend that you walk
inside this museum.The light inside is worth your attention.Once a train station,the Musee
d'Orsay has been repurposed and is now a pleasing wonder with Postimpressionist paintings and
more to suit most tastes.
The Seine River
All you have to do is decide which bank you prefer,left or right.Each has its unique
pleasures.Home to cultural,fashion and artistic riches,the left bank is lined with cafes,which
are a good place to meet your hero or heroine.But also consider the right bank,especially the
Picasso Museum,an excellent place to hang around.
Giverny
Lying about 45 miles from Paris,this village is the hometown of the late artist Claude
Monet.It is as if you've stepped into one of his paintings-a perfect blue-green bridge with
water lilies (fully open below and a warm peach-pink brick house.The whole scene is
designed to please the eye.
