If you want to intaglio an incredible impress on your heart, soul, and brain, you should leave all your affairs and go to Paris. The most romantic city in the world, la Ville Lumière, the dream of all writers and painters, artists and actors, film directors and scenarists, where they could pick up new art ideas just from the Parisian air, just from any cobblestone of its grand boulevards, is worth your visiting. As F. Nietzsche, a famous philosopher said, “An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris.”
Paris enchants from any place you arrive at it. If you arrive by train to its railway terminal – the Gare D`Orsay – you will be stunned by The Seine with its splendid riverbanks, the Place de la Concorde with its fabulous Fountains de la Concorde, by Notre Dame Cathedral and Louvre. If you arrive by airplane to Charles De Gaulle Airport, called as Roissy by the French, you will be amazed by Basilica of Saint-Denis, the ancient church where almost all French monarchs of France were buried from 1000 till 1789. Basilica de Sacre Coeur (Sacred Heart) is not less impressive with its excellent panoramic view of Paris city.
If you are in doubts and don`t know what tourist attraction to start, Louvre Museum, the biggest art museum in the world is expecting your arrival. With its almost 40, 000 art masterpieces it could enchant you for the whole day. Leonardo da Vinci, Claude Monet, Pierre Renoir, Eugene Delacroix with their eternal paintings, as well as Michelangelo, Gian Lorenzo, Antonio Canova, Alfred Barye with their outstanding sculptures, will stun you with their splendor, brilliance, and grandeur.
Montmartre, the magic-filled street of Paris, with cobbled pavement and steep staircases, the Moulin Rouge cabaret and numerous art shops, is the street where the high art of Paris was born. It is a must-see Paris attraction. To be in Paris and not to see Montmartre is the same as to be in Istanbul and not to visit Hagia Sofia Mosque or Aya Sofya. Henri Matisse, Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernst Hemingway, Igor Stravinsky, and hundreds of other world art, literature and music celebs got their inspiration on calm and colorful alleys of Montmartre.
As for the other tourist gems of Paris, surely, that`s for you to decide what to choose, but Palace of Versailles, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, Musée d`Orsay, Musée Rodin, and Musée Picasso, just could not be omitted. You could regret it later while sitting at home and looking through your Paris photos.
If you want to join some hilarious Paris festival and to share the unforgettable merry mood of this unique city, you could take part in Foire de Trone Festivities, the oldest spring fun fair of France with hundreds of its attractions and sweet treats. The summer celebrations such as St. Denis Fête, Music Festival and Bastille Day will feel your heart with a French mood of fun and merriment.
If you would like to taste the extraordinary and exceptional French cuisine, Paris restaurants are the best places to quench your gourmet thirst. The French chefs are the world champs at various cooking competitions. Why not try their culinary chef-d`oeuvres in such world-known restaurants as Le Pré Catelan with its world celeb chef Frederic Anton, Le Gaigne with Michael Gaignon, a famous in France chef modern, Cap restaurant with Konrad Neethling, a star chef well-known in the United Kingdom, France, and Japan. And that`s just the beginning, the dishes of such restaurants as L`Abeille, Septime, Pierre Gagnaire, Le Cinq, Sacree Fleur, just ask to be snapped with your camera and be put in frames on the walls of your apartments.
