The feel of the Paris city is such that it leaves each and every tourist bizarre and spell bound with its beauty. With its riches in creative, unusual and prized assets, this city of lovers demands enough time in hand to do justice to its beauty and discover the entire city completely.

Attractions in Paris:

Louvre Museum

The Louvre is also known as one of the worlds most popular piece is Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa." It was established in 1793, and is one of the oldest museums in Europe. Its collections spans from the birth of great civilizations up to the 19th century. A whopping 5.7 million tourists visited the museum in 2002.

Disney Paris

Disney Paris is definitely one of the places every Paris visitor must visit. Although the Florida Disney is beautiful too, the Paris Disney has a unique spectacular charm to it, making it a much more thrilling experience for all.

Also known worldwide as a masterpiece of the French Gothic Architecture, Notre Dame de Paris or Cathedrale Notre Dame has been a ceremonial focus for the Catholic Paris' since seven centuries now. With huge interiors, marvelous engineering and spectacular rose windows, this cathedrale is famous for a capacity of holding more than 6000 people.

Shopping in Paris

Parisian shops offer some of the finest attractions of the city to its tourists. From selling local products like pottery; clothes; wine and antiques, to some distinctively established couture brands and fragrances, you name and you'll get it in "de Paris". One of the most attractive shopping districts in Paris is the Les Halles, which includes a submarine shopping complex, "Forum des Halles".
