Let your senses come alive in Paris...
by Colzy
As many other VTers have pointed out, the best thing about Paris is Paris itself. Enjoy it. Savour it. I have learnt through personal experiences that you have to grasp every opportunity presented to you with both hands.... what better way to do this then walking around the wonderful city of Paris with all your senses heightened soaking up all the tastes, smells and sights?
Get lost. You will surely stumble upon something of interest, in a city like Paris it is impossible not to. Spread your wings and try to speak the language, they may not understand you, but who cares?? They will appreciate the effort and you may not have another opportunity to try your hand at this beautiful language again. Take the road less travelled, take the deserted road parallel to the one all the tourists are walking along. And finally don't feel like you have to see everything in one day, you won't properly enjoy the experience that way. My fondest memory of Paris is too hard to pinpoint, but collectively they are an experience that will stay with me until the end of my days. It is truly one of the great citiies of the world.

Visit the museums..atleast Louvre and Orsay. Even if you are not very artistically inclined..a visit to these museums will definitely bring out the connoisseur in you. The picture on the left shows one of the sculptures in orsay..amazingly life like.

Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel
by Onedragon
THE BEAUTY O F THE MONUMENTS BUILT TO SHOW CONQUEST..ARE LEGACIES LEFT TO ALL WHO VENTURE THROUGH THESE STREETS.... The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel was built between 1806 and 1808 by Napoleon I following the model of the Arc of Constantine in Rome. The two arches built by Napoleon - Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel and the Arc de Triomphe at Etoile, were to commemorate his victories, and the grand army who had won them. The bronze horses on top of the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel were taken from Saint-Marc of Venice. These were later returned after WWII.
