Top 70 Things To Do In Paris
61 (22) Disneyland Paris
Good old mouse town Disneyland Paris is just like the Disney theme
parks in the States other than being quite different. If you enjoyed
your Disney experience in the US, or think you would, you will love
Disneyland Paris except it won't be the same.
62 (23) Monaco
The French have some of the best trains in the world. A brief trip
to Monaco is a good excuse to experience one. Purchase a Eurail
Pass and travel to Monaco from Paris for a couple of days. The time
will race by.
63 Pont Neuf
Pont Neuf or new Bridge isn't particularly new anymore. In fact
it is the the oldest bridge in Paris.
The Pont Neuf competes with Pont Alexandre III for the beautiful
Paris bridge competition.
64 Arc du Carrousel
The relatively small 19m (63 ft) high treble archway Arc du Carrousel
is belittled by fellow Triumphal Way arches Grande Arche de la Défense
and the Arc de Triomphe between the Louvre and La Défense.
65 Jardin des Plantes
This popular botanical garden containing the Natural History Museum
covers a total of 28 hectares (about 69 acres) on the Left Bank
of the River Seine in the 5th arrondissement.
The Jardin des Plantes hothouses are home to a variety of Mexico
and Australia plants. You can also look to an Alpine garden, a charming
rose garden, and an Art Deco-style wintergarden.
66 Place de la Concorde
The octagonal Place de la Concorde is the largest square in Paris.
It is situated between the Tuileries and the Champs-Elysées.
Over a thousand bodies lost their heads during the height of the
French Revolution under its old name 'Place de la Révolution'.
The 3000 year old, 75 foot Obelisk at the centre of the square
is from the temple of Ramses II.
67 (27) French Alps
If the Eiffel Tower wasn't a tall enough experience there's the
Alps. Great for skiing the French Alps are like the french women,
beautiful and elegant.
Travel to the French Alps for a weekend of skiing and come alive.
68 Forum des Halles
A combination park, underground mall, and huge subway station,
the Forum des Halles sits on land that for centuries was home to
Paris’ central marketplace.
There are plans to further revamp the Forum des Halles and rename
it 'Carreau des Halles'.
69 Hôtel de Ville (City Hall)
Built in 1882 the Hôtel de Ville is Paris's city hall.
The building has hundreds of statues representing famous Parisians
and thirty statues representing French cities.
The clock at the central tower is adorned with several feminine
sculptures representing the Seine River, the city of Paris, 'Work'
and 'Education'.
70 Musee National du Moyen Age
Apart from its fabulous history the Hôtel de Cluny has substantial
leftovers form the Gallo-Roman baths, Thermes de Cluny and impressive
art collections.
The building itself is worth a picture or few. Try the nearby park
for a more leafy prospective.
