Situated on the Right Bank. There are some beautiful old buildings
and is a haven for tourists with The
Louvre, Les
Halles and the
Palais Royal. |
| 2 |
Again,
on the Right Bank, this is the business centre of Paris. |
| 3 |
Covering
part of the Marais, one of the oldest parts of Paris, this is
a trendy place to visit with some excellent shops and restaurants. |
| 4 |
The heart of Paris with
Notre Dame,
St Chapelle and the
National Museum of Modern Art. |
| 5 |
The Left Bank and the
Latin Quarter
(called that because the professors and students at the Sorbonne all
spoke Latin in the Middle Ages) and as such you can expect to find
it still the intellectual corner of Paris, the hub of bohemia with
students and tourists alike 'hanging out' in student bars, pavement
cafes and restaurants. |
| 6 |
St Germain. Not quite the bohemian quarter it used to be where you would have
found great minds like Ernest Hemingway - now you are more likely to find
yourself in upmarket shops, restaurants and art galleries. |
| 7 |
This is a must since
this area houses the Eiffel Tower
- also found here is the Musee de'Orsay. |
| 8 |
The second 'must' where
you can start at the Arc de Triomphe and strutt down the
Champs Elysees, past famous
fashion houses and luxurious hotels. |
| 9 |
An unusual mix of
people can be found here. The famous
Palais Garner, Paris' Opera House and
Pigalle, the red
light district as well as the Moulin Rouge. |
| 10 |
Gare de l'Est and Gare de Nord (two train
stations) can be found in this not particularly tourist area. |
| 11 |
Place de la Bastille
and the New Opera
are here. There are places to stay but it is more residential than
anything else though a few good restaurants can be found. |
| 12 |
An area in the making.
The new Metro means the centre of Paris is only 10 minutes away. One
of the feature of the are is the Parc de Bercy which boasts 26 acres of garden. Of course
there are new restaurants and shops to be enjoyed. |
| 13 |
Not a lot to do here since it
is mainly a residential area. |
| 14 |
Here we have Montparnasse and the
Citie Universitaire - you'll find some
boisterous cafes and restaurants. The northern end was the home to many
famous authors. |
| 15 |
Mainly residential but for the Parc de Expositions. |
| 16 |
Residential but worth
going to if only to take in the rich boulevards such as Ave Victor
Hugo. There is the Bois de Bologne Park which is rather lovely and a couple of museums worth a visit,
Guimet, the
Marmottan and the
Balzac. If in the area then not to be missed
is the view of the Eiffel Tower just across the river from the
Place de Trocodero. |
| 17 |
Mainly
residential - a couple of good restaurants. |
| 18 |
One of the most popular
areas of Paris is Montmatre filled with street artists. A colourful hustle and bustle.
Picasso and Matisse (to name but a few) lived here. Perhaps a tat touristy
but enjoy the atmosphere. Don't forget the
Sacre Coeur Church. |
| 19 |
Go see the
Museum of Science and Industry
- for kids of all ages as is
The Buttes Chaumont where you can
enjoy donkey rides and puppet shows! Lots of ethnic restaurants and
shops. |
| 20 |
Residential area which
is ethnically based. The famous Pere Lachais, the cemetery which holds such famous names
as Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, Victor Noir, Isadora Duncan.
