Paris Charms not only with it's romanticism!


1. The Eiffel Tower

All travelers always place Eiffel Tower as the first thing to visit in Paris. So shall we start with it. The reason of placing Eiffel Tower on the top of the list is first, it's looming construction, second, the breathtaking view of the city and third, the energy and buzz of the place. 



2. The Catacombs of Paris

Paris is known as city of Romance, but that's not it! It has a darker side which needs to be discovered too. This underground burial complex houses six million skeletons dating to the 18th century. Stacked in endless corridors, it’s a fascinating and haunting place. If you have the courage, it’s one of the most interesting places in Paris to see.



3. Musee Du Louvre

Who doesn't know Leonardo Davinci's painting Mona Lisa, which is placed in the famous Museum in Paris along with thousands of other artistic artworks. An entire holiday can be spent in Du Louvre as it is vast and packed with masterpieces at every turn.



4. The Pantheon - Paris

Well i thought Pantheon is in Rome! Isn't it? Yes it is, but Paris also has one which was originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve and to house the reliquary châsse containing her relics but, after many changes, now functions as a secular mausoleum containing the remains of distinguished French citizens. It's not much visited but it's ranked as one of the best things to see in Paris.



5. Palace of Versailles

A monument to the decadence of royalty and a constant draw for vast numbers of visitors, Versailles is simply astonishing. And if the massive opulent palace isn’t enough, the gardens will simply blow your mind. Representing ostentatious beyond measure.



6. Notre Dame Cathedral of Paris


It's very difficult to express how fabulous this place is. Let's start with it's Outer Architecture & Sculpture which is a Masterpiece! Every detail of this art is a long story told by the walls of this place. Don't fear the Gargoyles as they are watching over the place and give it a beautiful sense of a scary yet peaceful place. Whoever attended the mass in the Church, was thrilled with the angelic voices of the choir that fill the place. Totally worth visiting!



7. Sainte Chapelle

After researching about how to describe this place, i found a lady who perfectly described everything i wanted to write: "Visiting Sainte-Chapelle is like entering heaven encased in a jewel box of stained glass. Arching panels upon panels of glass describe the story of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, in rich colors and sumptuous detail. The sheer height of glass gives one the impression of looking up into eternity." Nothing more to say!


8. Musee De Cluny

A hidden gem in the heart of Paris, Musee de Cluny is a medieval museum nestling within an ancient Roman bath complex. In fact, this tucked away treasure is one of the very best remnants of the ancient Roman city which would become Paris. If you’re seeking interesting places to visit in Paris, this is hard to beat.



9. Pont Neuf & La Conciergerie

Pont Neuf is the oldest bridge in the city. You will pass through it for sure while visiting any place in Paris.Be careful! As it will charm you and force you to take lots of pictures on it.

And La Conceirgerie is as impressive for the architecture as for the history and exhibits, this famous former prison lies in the heart of the city. You can still visit the old prison, including Marie Antoinette’s cell, and its convenient location means it often appears on most itineraries of places in Paris to visit.
