Eiffel
Tower, a landmark par excellence, is the main attraction and tourists from
world over flock to see this wonder. There are other breath-takingly beautiful
places too like Les Champs-Elysées, Cathedral de Notre Dame and a huge range of
other interesting places. Louvre's Glass Pyramid and La Grande Arche de la Defense are the other major tourist
attractions. A word of advice. Don't cram your itinerary with too many visits. It wouldn't be possible to visit each and every tourist places at one go. By attempting to do so, you might lose out on the relaxed pace at which these tourist attractions should be savoured. Be selective and you will be able to enjoy those places much better.
