Things to Do in Paris

Let me guess: If you are interested in Paris souvenirs, you probably went to Paris and loved that city but only saw a few things for lack of time. If you wonder what you may have missed or what to see during your next trip to France, here are a few must do's while in Paris. Paris Monuments. There are so many monuments in Paris, where to start? Visitors' favorites include the Eiffel Tower (the most visited paid monument in the world), the Notre Dame cathedral (one of the finest examples of French gothic architecture), the Sacre Coeur Basilica located at the top of the Montmartre hill, and the Arc de Triomphe, which stands at the center of the place Charles de Gaulle, at the top of the Champs Elysees. Many of our French souvenirs display one of those Paris monuments. Paris Museums. Paris is one of the best places for culture. Paris museums you will want on your list include the Musee du Louvre (with Da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa painting), the d'Orsay museum, which houses the largest collection of impressionist masterpieces in the world, Beaubourg (also known as Pompidou center, it is the largest museum for modern art in Europe) and the Musee Rodin, which includes some of the sculptor's best creations. Paris Places. Sometimes called the most beautiful avenue in the world, the Champs Elysees runs from the Arc de Triomphe to la Concorde and is also displayed on a number of our Paris gifts. Don't miss St Germain des Pres (known for its famous cafes like les Deux Magots and le Cafe de Flore), Montmartre (a hill in the North of Paris with the Sacre Coeur Basilica) and Versailles. Located about 10 miles West of Paris, Versailles is home to the famous Chateau de Versailles.
