Things to do in Paris

Paris, the cosmopolitan capital of France, has the reputation of being the most alluring and romantic of all cities in the world. It is also named “La Ville-Lumière” or “the City of Light”, in addition to being known as the Capital of Fashion. It is no coincidence then that Paris is the most-visited city in the world. There are plenty of things you could do when you are in such a beautiful city; from shopping to touring to dining – the list is unlimited!

Shopping in Paris: Being the Capital of Fashion, Paris is the base to the world’s elegant and most grand fashion designers and cosmetics, such as Guerlain, L'Oréal, Christian Dior, Yves Saint-Laurent, Chanel,, Lancôme, Clarins, etc. Its high fashion awareness, coupled with its exquisite foods and wines make shopping in Paris a natural shopper’s dream. Don’t be surprised if you see people returning from their Paris trips with an extra luggage or suitcase in tow!

Paris attractions: Be amongst 45 million tourists that tour France annually, making it the world’s most popular tourist destination. With sites to brag such as the Notre-Dame Cathedal, the Arc de triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, Moulin Rouge, the Louvre Museum, Sainte-Chapelle,The Catacombs, Lido etc, there is no better destination in the world for a romantic get-away or the annual family holiday.

Places to eat in Paris: With so much good food, chocolates and good wines to select from, it is not about what to eat, but more so where to wine and dine. Trust me; I won’t be doing any justice by advising a single restaurant to go to, with so many great ones all around the place. However, since you will be spending a lot of time in the Eiffel Tower area, most of the restaurants on rue Saint-Dominique such as Les Fables de la Fontaine, La Fontaine de Mars, Le Jules Verne etc are worth checking out for.
