PARIS




PARIS! Part One - in General

Eiffel Tower

Even designating the blog as "top 3 travel destination", Paris surely had the place among these 3 destination. 

Every second pair in the world dreams to spend honeymoon in Paris. 

Paris is the source of inspiration for painters, writers, poets, film directors, architects, musicians...

The capital city of France is one of the political and fashion center of Europe.

I'd say that everyone can find subject of interest in Paris. Even the laziest and the most boring people could not abstain from admiring beauty of Paris.

So, before you will visit this amazing City, let me share some of my impressions.


Basilique du Sacre-Coeur

Depending on where are you going to stop in the city, at first you will see one of the many sights of Paris. 

First of all it might be Eiffel Tower, because of its location and height. As it is known the landmark of Paris - Eiffel Tower is 324 meters in height. So, it is seeable from many parts of Paris.

However at the first you can notice Sacre-Coeur (full name "Basilique du Sacre-Coeur") beautiful Roman Catholic Church located at the summit of the butte Montmartre - the highest place in Paris.





Notre Dame de Paris


You can also see Notre Dame Cathedral (in French "Notre Dame de Paris") - Catholic Church built in 13th century. The cathedral is located at the site of Seine and it is the beautiful example of Gothic Architecture. 


Beside architectural beauty the cathedral has an important place in arts and literature. "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" (1831) of Victor Hugo is one of the best proofs of it.

If you have a chance to travel to Paris, you have to visit Louvre Palace (in French "Palais du Louvre") where is located famous Louvre Museum ("Musee du Louvre").

In Louvre Museum you can see the perfect pieces of art, "Mona Lisa" (also known as "La Gioconda") of Leonardo da Vinci.
