Paris, Paris… Always Paris

Prime location to explore Paris

Visiting Paris is entering a magical city, where art and culture let your imagination lose and visitors become the spectators of centuries of history. The city of light, the city of love, the city of the Seine … A must visit at least once in your life, Paris is wonderful and surprising.

There is so much to see, we recommend you stay in the French capital for at least 4 days so as to make the most of your visit. Here are our suggestions:

Île de la Cité

Located just a few minutes walk from our hotel, here you will find the cradle of Gothic architecture: Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral and Sainte Chapelle, its most outstanding representatives. One of the best-known literary works linked to the cathedral is that of Victor Hugo: the story of Quasimodo, a horrible man who falls in love with a gypsy girl named Esmeralda.

Panthéon and Sorbonne University

Paris’ Panthéon is a monument of great historical relevance, located in the heart of the Latin Quarter. It is surrounded by University Paris I (known as Panthéon-Sorbonne), University Paris II (called Panthéon-Assas) and the City Hall of the 5th arrondissement of Paris. You can easily access this typical area of the Parisian center, which is just a few steps from Hôtel Vendôme.

Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur Basilica

Montmartre is the most charming neighborhood in the city and maybe the most special as well, possibly because of its cheerful and lively streets at any time of day or night: terraces, bars, restaurants, shops … Additionally, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, located on top of a hill, is an impressive building, known for the steps on which all tourists get a picture.

Champs-Élysées

Being the largest avenue in Paris, it has 1880 meters in length, and runs from Arc de Triomphe to Place de la Concorde. It was built by Napoleon Bonaparte and inspired upon Roman architecture. It is today one of the symbols of the French capital. In addition, the Champs Elysées is the ideal place to go shopping and discover the most elegant shops in Paris.

Eiffel Tower

Whether you like heights or you just want to enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Paris and live an unforgettable experience, be sure to climb up the Eiffel Tower. Access to the first two floors can be either on foot or by lift. Whichever you pick, you will need the latter to reach the top.

Louvre Museum

And last (although this list could be endless), but not least, the Louvre Museum. This national art gallery is one of the most important and prestigious in the world. Tens of thousands of tourists, many of them out of curiosity towards Leonardo da Vinci’s Gioconda, visit it each year crediting its world fame.
