 Sightseeing in Paris

eiffel_tower Paris has a few of the most beautiful places, which can be safely called a tourist's delight. Paris is known as the world's most beautiful city. 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.
