8 Things You Must Absolutely Do When in Paris
5. Notre Dame
The continent of Europe is known for the numerous marvelously constructed cathedrals it consists of and the Notre Dame is one of the most glorious among them all. The entry to this awe inspiring structure is free and if you do manage to climb up the 387 steps, you would be rewarded with a splendid view of the city.
6. Take an hour long boat ride on the Seine river
There are hour long boat rides on the Seine River which flows under Paris. Just like a bus tour, this boat ride will give you a full fledged view of the whole city and an audio guide helps you to know a lot about the past and present of the beautiful place.
7. Arc de Triomphe
Arc de Triomphe is one of the most beautifully crafted arch structures in the world. Climb up to its panoramic viewing terrace and gaze down each avenue into the city. It’s the best place to admire the taut geometry of Paris’s urban plan, devised by Napoleon III’s prefect Baron Georges-Eugène Hausmann, who eliminated the city’s medieval slums to lay down broad boulevards.
8. See the Lido show
What is a tourist in Paris if he or she hasn’t seen the Lido show at the Champs-Élysées? This is a musical cabaret which people enjoy along with gourmet food and fine French wine. The show has topless women dancing, not in the least trashy or cheap way but in a way which displays grace and knowledge of the art of cabaret.
