Top 10 in Paris

2007-07-02T15:17:00.000+02:00

01. Eiffel Tower - when you are on the tower take a photo from side where is „Trocadero and Palais de Chaillot“ and if you have any luck the fountains will be ON or sent your postcards from little post and it will have a special mark that they are sent from eiffel tower

02. Moulin Rouge – listen to me... go to moulin rouge, it will be one of the best nights in your life, it will worth every penny...

03. Sacre Coeur / Montmartre – bohemians preferred to live and spend time in two parts of Paris: The Latin Quarter and Montmartre... so see...

04. Musée du Louvre or Musée d'Orsay – i think you know what can you see there... select by your own taste...

05. Champs Elysées – finale... ohh, all that luxury of Paris... aaaaa... you can go to Lido (but i haven't been there and i can't write any recommendation), Louis Vuitton, Planet Hollywood, Sephora (the largest perfumery), Disney store, or maybe just have a lunch...

06. Avenue de Montaigne – in this street you can find just luxury stores from Dior to Yves Saint Laurent

07. Cruise on the Seine – or if you don't want to spend mony... you can walk along the banks of the river Seine (on several places you'll come across little stalls selling books, posters, paintings...)

08. Trip to Versailles or Disneyland

09. Catacombs of Paris

10. Walk Around - Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe, Place de la Concorde, Les Invalides, La Défense, Jardins du Luxembourg (there's no way to properly describe how pretty it is here, you have to see it yourself), Cimetiere du Pere Lachaise: is full of famous dead people (or monuments to famous dead people), including Edith Piaf, Victor Noir, Frederic Chopin, Sarah Bernhardt, Simone Signoret, Yves Montand, Oscar Wilde and Marcel Proust; however perhaps the reason the most people go is to see the grave of Jim Morrison.

Speciality of French cuisine

Meal in France is not just about feeding, it is about relaxation and communication, even the simplest meals comprises of three or four dishes: savor, main dish, cheese and dessert.

So start with "Onion Soupe" or "Smoked Fish" (not my favorite)
As main dish take "Coq au vin" (chicken in red wine) or "Blanquette de veau" (blanquette of veal) or "Le Lapin" (rabbit)
For dessert take "Chocolate Mousse" or "Tarte Tatin" (caramelized apple tart) or Crêpe (pancakes; they are different from American pancakes)

Breakfast - Croissant or Compote de Pommes (it made of apple)or maybe baguette with butter
Drink - wine with raspberry syrup or Champagne.
