A Quick Travel Guide to the City of Lights
Paris is the ideal destination for the bold and daring travelers. It is a melting pot of mixed cultures, rendering it a vibrant mix of traditions, cuisine, people, history, and thinking. Of course, Paris is a top recommendation for world travel guides for tourist such as the Louvre Museum and the Eiffel Tower admired and revered by the world.
The French capital is still the city of free thinkers, lovers, fashion, and artists. Traces of traditional French flavors could still be detected like boules-playing men in berets at quai de la Seine and bourgeois Madames dining in restaurants, waiting to be seen just around the bend.
Modern times, however, saw the influx of immigrants in Paris, said to be comprising 20%of the total population. Diversity could be observed in all areas of the city but everyone would proudly proclaim that he is French before anything else.
Travel guides will gladly present you with lists of what you should not miss on your Paris visit. Indeed, there is far too many it could be quite overwhelming for the fainthearted. There are plenty of architectural marvels, galleries, boutiques, wine bars, and restaurants waiting to be explored. The selection of a place to stay is a vital factor since it determines how easily you could access the places you wish to visit.
Some useful tips: The most expensive hotels are those in close proximity to the Louvre and the Champs- Elys?es. Mid-priced hotels stand along rue Saint-Dominique, close enough to the Invalides and the Eiffel Tower. Accommodations at the Marais or St. Germain will position you a stone's throw away from street cafes, shops, and restaurants. Stay along Ile St. Louis and Montmartre if you are looking for privacy. Bastille and Oberkampf is nearby clubs and pubs.
