by soxdcat
visit the Eifel Tower. And go all the way to the top, the feeling of being free and living life is definitely worth this trip. Also, try the Tower in the evening around ten oclock or so. They illuminate it with hundreds of lights and it lights up the entire evening. The entire trip is a fond memory for me. But if I must choose it would have to be what my tour guide reffered to as the 'Illumination Tour'. That is when we went to the Eifel tower at night and it lit up like a giant christmas tree with hundreds of flashing white lights. It was the perfect evening, the cool wind was blowing lightly as the amazing show took place.
View OF Montmartre
by shrimp56
Montmartre and Sacre Coeur are very visible from many places in Paris. This picture was taken from the terrace at Musee d'Orsay in the 7th.
.
Another great spot is at the top of the escalators at Centre Pompideau in the Marais.
.
And you can see Sacre Coeur from the RER train coming in from Charles de Gaulle Airport. That's when I know I'm really in Paris!

IXth - Modern art ??
by Maillekeukeul
Sometimes, Paris looks similar to any city in the world... Indeed, it has also been victim of the famous "crazy-tagger", a serial inker-penciler who can't help filling the blanks on the walls.... The last "crime scene" is situated Place Pigalle...
Zero de Conduite
by Ipanema_Princess
At the bar "Zero de Conduite", all the drinks are served in baby bottles !
You'll see it will take you a little time to get used to it again but it's fun.
You can order cocktails that are all named atfer cartoons and also some sweets.
Everything is made to make you fell like a kid again.
You can also play board games such as Trivial Pursuit, Pictionnary... so it's funnier if you go with a group of friends.
Be careful, the place is very small so it's almost compulsory to make a booking.
Adress : 14 rue Jacob
Metro : Saint Germain des Prés
