Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Lodging

Travel documents

Step 1

Corner of Champs-Elysée

Find a hotel.

Plan your lodgings at a hotel in the heart of the main attractions. Several reasonably priced hotels are strategically located near Champs-Elysée, The Eiffel Tower, US Embassy, the Louvre and other major tourist attractions. If you are traveling with your family, consult your travel agency about a reasonably priced apartment for your visit.
Step 2

The Arc de Triomphe

Walk to major tourist attractions.

Stroll down Champs-Elysée Boulevard and then take Place de la Concorde Square to tour the city. Walk to the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower. Visit the Louvre Museum where you can see the Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci and all of the beautiful and priceless artwork inside.
Step 3

Burning Flame

Visit Princess Diana's Memorial.

See the Liberty Flame, symbolic of the Statue of Liberty torch, displayed at the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris France in memory of Princess Diana. The Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris is where Princess Diana died after a car accident in 1997. Visitors scrawl messages of love to Diana on the base of the torch and the walls of the tunnel.
Step 4

Paris boutique

Go Shopping.

You simply cannot go to Paris France and not shop. Several restaurants, boutiques and shops line the Champs- Elysée giving you the opportunity to shop and dine while sightseeing.

on 2/9/2009 These are tip on enjoying Paris France that probably Josephine Backer would have suggested and love to be reminded of by your article. I saw her life story yesterday. What a tear choker and excellent portrayal by Lynn Whitfield. Both it and your article would make someone what to see the place for themselves. Thanks for this informative article on what to see, do and how to enjoy Paris, France
