Le Louvre
by Klod5
My first visit to the museum of the Louvre, date of the time where, at 15 years old, I was in a school of painting, and I came to train before these biggest master works.
Le Grand Louvre, wanted by president François Mitterrand is one marvel. The old buildings have been restored marvelously, and our looks got used to the presence of the pyramid. Inside of the museum, the artistic treasures are enhanced better that per past Transparencies and contrasts of the architecture of two times marked well. With the games of the sprays of water, that frame the monument.
It is one of my favorite photos on the Louvre.

We arrived at Paris four...
by nusigma
We arrived at Paris four days before joining our tour and we went on a private tour of Versalles, and several other castles and areas out of Paris. When we arrived football or soccer was the most important word around town, the World Championships were being held in Paris and it was a great spectacle, so many persons from so many different countries around the city. The tour of the city of Paris on the bus tour and the Sein River tour.
Les quais de la Seine
by Klod5
Les quais de la Seine (the embankments) are an obligated passage place to go to some districts. But it is also about a pleasant walk goal, in full heart of bets, and the possibility to stroll. It is also there that are the bouquinistes, these bouquinistes (second-hand book merchants) without whom les quais de la Seine in Paris would not be the embankments. It is possible to find either on the embankments many old books magazines, but also of the engravings, and everything that has report to the edition.
Tennis shoes and blue jeans
by Dabs
I can't say how many times I have seen "is it OK to wear tennis shoes and blue jeans in Europe?" asked in different forums. Although Parisians are generally well dressed, older Parisians more so than the younger ones it seemed, certainly you see locals wearing tennis shoes and jeans although I noticed that most of the tennis shoes were colored, not stark white like many of ours in the US.
The bottom line is that you will be doing a lot of walking in Paris if you really want to enjoy the city and you need to wear comfortable shoes. If comfortable shoes means tennis shoes then that is what you should wear.
Ice Skating up the Eiffel Tower
by ladyolac
You can ice skate on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower in winter only on an open air rink. That's a lot of fun and during the winter months, the town hall sets up open air ice skating rinks in different key parts of the city (in front of the main town Hall or at La Villette parc).
