What to See and Do in Paris

The 324-metre high Eiffel Tower is a signature landmark of Paris. Take the elevator to the observation deck and get a bird's eye view of the city. Notre-Dame Cathedral, built in the 13th century is worth a visit, as is The Louve. The latter, a one time historic palace, is now an art museum and home to Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa." The Arc de Triomphe, built to honour Napoleon Bonaparte, is another famous landmark, also with an observation deck. Stroll down the Avenue Champs-Elysees where famous artists once gathered. The walkway is 1.7 kilometres long and 70 metres wide and bordered with sidewalk cafes. Sit a spell and enjoy a coffee and croissant and do some serious people watching.
