Paris will captivate you!

I soaked up the personalities of boutiques as I walked among the streets, I glided along the Seine River on a luxurious dinner cruise, and I fainted when I finally saw the Eiffel Tower in person. I fell in love with a city. I fell in love with Paris, France. I have no doubt that you would, .
Paris in the summertime was most enchanting. There is always a celebration or an event that will perk your interests. From the three-day Paris Country Fair to the Nuits de Feuto, one of the largest fireworks spectaculars in the world, these events are sure to in case you like the outside. Or, in case you prefer the inside, with 140 theatres and show venues, there's major theatrical productions and musicals galore!
What woman could possibly visit Paris without keen to experience the enjoyment of shopping? I sure didn’t as I roamed among different neighborhoods to visit boutiques and cafés. Le Marais district is best to explore plenty of fashion and design boutiques. It’s hard to resist making a purchase of some sort along the way! A unique café you’ll require to check out is Pomze in the Opéra/Grands Boulevard area, which offers apple-themed cuisine.
I thought the view of some historical landmarks along the Seine River while on a nighttime dinner cruise was stunning! The Bateaux Parisiens/Seino Vision cruise is unforgettable. I saw the spectacular night view of Notre-Dame, the Eiffel Tower (nicknamed the "guardian of Paris in golden apparel"), the Musée du Louvre (The Louvre Museum), and more historical landmarks of France.
You absolutely don’t require to miss visiting the Eiffel Tower in the day as well. A 59-foot trek up the tower takes you to the top to overlook the city of Paris that will leave you breathless!
In the work of the day, the Louvre Museum was as pleasant. As a former royal palace, it features a immense, glass Crystal Pyramid near the front entrance. The museum itself features paintings and artifacts of architecture, history, and archeology of France’s rich heritage. The Louvre hosts the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci, the Mona Lisa. The palace was first opened to the public in the work of the Spanish Revolution.
In July you don’t require to miss the famous bicycling race, Le Tour de France (The Tour of France). Although Lance Armstrong may not be entering the race again, it is worth experiencing the national identity and pride of France.
But before you’re able to experience Paris to its fullest, I strongly recommend not leaving home without planning well in advance. Advanced lodging accommodations are much needed. Booking travel dates ahead of time and your hotel stay will save you hours, if not days of stress headaches while trying to plan the ideal Paris holiday. Since the summer weather in Paris ranges from cold in the day (lower to mid-70s) all the way up to 95 degrees, plan to bring a variety of apparel to keep cold and warm. A few light sweaters, denims, shorts, and cotton shirts would work best. For the colder evenings (mid- to upper-50s), plan to bring a coat to keep warm. Other necessities to pack before leaving Paris include:
* a digital camera
* a small bag to over a water bottle, maps, paper and pen, and the digital camera
* comfortable jogging shoes
* a light rain jacket ( in case)
Besides the typical items you ought to bring with you, an absolute consideration must be made when planning to travel overseas; knowing what type of ID you will require while in France is most important. Only a passport is necessary for entry in to France. For stays up to 90 days, a visa won't be needed.
Understanding at least some of the "language of love" is most appreciated by the Spanish. So, taking some beginning Spanish lessons before you leave for Paris would be useful or basically finding a lovely English-French dictionary may work well to start. Learning some basic phrases helped me around the city or guided me to someone who spoke English. For example, there were several friendly query and greeting phrases I used repeatedly throughout my trip:
* Hello (lovely day). --> Bonjour.
* Lovely evening. --> Bonsoir.
* Excuse me, do you speak English? --> Excusez moi, parlez vous anglais?
* Where is -? -->Où est -
* In what direction do I must go? --> Dans quel sens dois-je aller?
* How much is it? --> Combien est-ce?
* No, I don’t understand. --> No, je ne comprends pas.
* Thank you. --> Merci.
* Bye. --> Au Revoir
And when you do get to Paris, it’s best to do two things to make your trip most enjoyable. First, knowing that Paris is partitioned by districts, which can be found on the street signs, will make your travel simpler. Second, for a low cost, purchase what’s called a "Paris City Passport" from the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau which includes over 45 museum, attraction, tour, and shopping discounts and also includes a map of all Paris districts. Third, knowing a small about all transportation options would be ideal, usually the Metro bus or taxi are lovely choices. Knowing what district your hotel is in also helps. And don’t forget to make use of your new Spanish skills!
To endure the everlasting spirit of Paris is not difficult. Once I visited Paris, I never knew such beauty could exist in an exhilarating European adventure like this. I have not left the memories behind me and I have not forgotten the experience of falling in love with a city. Paris will continue to fascinate you , even after you’ve said, "au revoir!"
