Paris City break
I like Paris for a city break. There is a lot to see and each time I go back I find something different. There are some hidden gems that many visitors miss. These are the places I want to tell you about.

Go to Paris on the Eurostar train
This is the way to arrive in Paris. It is so much quicker than flying from London. You only have to be at the London Eurostar St Pancras International Railway Station 30 minutes before departure. The journey is smooth and only takes two and a half hours. The train arrives in the centre of Paris. Excluding the time it takes to get to St Pancras the journey to Paris by train only takes a total of three hours form London. If you took the plane you would have to be at the airport one and a half hours before departure. The flight takes about an hour. You then have to wait about an hour to collect your bags. The Paris airports are outside of the French capital so you have to take a train or taxi into the centre of the city. This takes about 45 minutes. Total journey time to the centre of Paris by plane excluding the time to get to the UK departure airport is 4 hours 15 minutes.

Once you have found your seat on the Eurostar train go and find the buffet car. They sell a book of ten Paris Metro tickets. Buy them early as they sell out fast. It saves you having to queue at the ticket machines and you do not have to have the correct change. That annoys me about the Paris Metro ticket machines. They do not take notes just coins. Most tourists when they arrive in Paris only have notes in their purse or wallet as currency exchange bureaus do not give coins. If you arrive early in the morning or late at night the ticket offices are closed. If you do not have the correct coins or credit card you are stuck, unable to buy a metro ticket. You need one ticket per journey. It doesn’t matter how many times you change trains. It is cheaper to buy a book of ten metro tickets than each ticket individually.

Remember to reset your watch as France is one hour ahead of the United Kingdom. The Gare du Nord International railway station is in the north of Paris. It is on a number of Metro routes so you can get to where you want to go very easily. The station and the surrounding area has been improved since the first time I visited Paris using the train. There are now a number of reasonable restaurants opposite the front entrance ranging from McDonalds to a posh French seafood restaurant. If you are getting the evening train get back to the station early and eat in one of these establishments. That way you do not have to panic that you might miss your train.

Paris Montmartre and the Artist Quarter
Montmartre is one of the most charming areas of Paris, full of individual houses that have lots of character. This is my favourite part of Paris and is only a short walk from the Eurostar Gare du Nord International railway station. On top of the Montmartre hill near the attractive cathedral of Sacre Coeur is the charming cobbled street, artist quarter. This small square is a preserved historical gem. It is what most tourists think all Paris looks like. Turn right outside the main entrance of the Gare du Nord railway station and at the 8 road junction take Boulevard de Magenta. Turn left at the Boulevard de Rochechouart and keep walking until you come to the Metro station called Anvers. Turn right up Rue de Stienkerque to the base of the Sacre Coeur.Montmartre. Walk up through the park to the cathedral of Sacre Coeur. If you have problems walking up hills there is a funicular railway on the left hand side of the park.

Montmartre means the mountain of the martyr. Saint Denis was decapitated on the highest hill in Paris about 250AD. He was a missionary sent by the early Christian church of Rome in to convert the Gaul and Roman pagans in France. He became the Bishop of Paris. Denis, upset the powerful pagan priests by his many conversions. This lead to his execution by beheading. The location was chosen as it was believed to have been a pagan holy place.

According to the religious stories on the lives of the Saints dated from around 1220, after Saint Denis had his head chopped off, he picked it up and walked two miles, preaching a sermon. The place where he stopped and died was made into a small shrine that developed into the Saint Denis Basilica, It became the burial place for the kings of France. Another account has his corpse being thrown in the river Seine, but recovered and buried later that night by his converts. He became the patron Saint of France. The cry "Saint Denis, Saint Denis” often combined as "Montjoie! Saint Denis!" became the war-cry of the French armies.

Paris La Basilique du Sacré Coeur de Montmartre
La Basilique du Sacré Coeur de Montmartre is the correct name for the cathedral. Abbesses and Anvers Metro stations are the nearest. It opens daily from 6am to 11pm. This striking building with towers and white onion domes looks a bit like a wedding cake. It is 83m high and was built between 1875 and 1914. Prominent businessmen raised the money necessary to build this mock Romano-Byzantine architectural extravaganza. Apart from the Eiffel Tower, the views from the dome offers unsurpassed views of Paris as it is 200m above sea level.

The front steps and balcony of La Basilique du Sacré Coeur de Montmartre offers some of the best views over Paris. The road called Rue Maurice Utrillo is to the right of the La Basilique du Sacré Coeur de Montmartre if you are looking at it from the front. It is one of the most photographed streets in Paris because of its picturesque steep flights of steps, old street lights, handrail and attractive town houses.

Montmartre Cemetery
Montmartre Cemetery is called the Cimetière de Montmartre can be found in rue de la Barrière Blanch. The nearest Métro station is Place de Clichy. There are a few famous occupants but the main reason to visit the cemetery is to observe the typically French gothic ornate and sometimes macabre tombstones and sculptures.

Paris Place du Tertre - the Artist Quarter
When you have finished looking around Sacré Coeur go to the front entrance and turn right along the Rue Azais. At the T junction turn right up Rue du Mont Cenis. Take the next left called Rue Norvins. This leads into the square called the place du Tertre, the artist quarter. Artists such as Salvador Dalí, Modigliani, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh all had studios worked around Montmartre. At one time the artists of Montmartre were setting the trend of modern art in Impressionism, Cubism, Fauvism, and the development of Surrealism.

The Place du Tertre gets its name because it is situated on top of a " tertre ", which means a small hill. It is best to visit the Place du Tertre Artist Quarter in the morning to avoid the crowds The Place du Tertre at night can be a romantic location to visit with your sweetheart.

On hot summer days this is a gorgeous place because the big trees offer shade in the summer. The cobbled streets that surround the square are lined with typical French old style cafes. Small tables with chequered tablecloths and chairs are placed outside to attract customers. Ancient looking black iron lamppost add to the ambience. The central square area is full of artist paint pictures and trying to sell completed work to passing tourists. Many set up a mini studio where they paint or draw portraits. Sitting outside one of the cafes or Bistros, sipping on a beer and watching the artists at work is my favourite past time on Paris.

At the end of the Nepolionic war the Russian army occupied Montmartre during their invasion of Paris. They used the heigth of the hill to place their artillery units to enable them to bombard the city. If you look carefully there is a memorial plaque on one of the cafes that says: On 30 March 1814 - here the Cossacks first launched their famous "Bistro" and thus on this summit occurred the worthy ancestor of our Bistros.

A bistro, originally meant a small restaurant serving reasonably priced simple meals in a modest setting. Bistros were defined mostly by the type of foods they serve. Slow-cooked braised meats dishes are typically served in Bistros. The word bistro is believed to be derived from the Russian word which means quickly. The demanding Russian cossacks who wanted to be served quickly would shout "bystro." Does that mean that the French Bistro was the world’s first fast food joint?

The Montmartre Vineyard
Back in the Middle Ages nuns made and sold wine on the hill. The Abbey of Montmartre, became one of the richest in France. In the late 1400's, ruined by war, the nuns were forced to sell off their land. Commercial winemakers took them over. In 1576 new laws were passed that meant that wines entering Paris were heavily taxed. The fact that Montmartre was outside the old city limits of Paris meant that it was free from those Paris imposed taxes. It gradually became a popular drinking area that developed into a center of decadent entertainment at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The Moulin Rouge, and at Le Chat Noir became popular cabaret venues. There is still a small vineyard in the Rue Saint-Vincent, which produces about 500 litres per year. It is the last vineyard in Paris. It is so strange to see grapes planted in stone terraces on a steep slope, growing on the vine in the middle of the city. The profits from the sale of the wine go to charity. You have to poke the lens of your camera through the wire mesh fence. The gate to the vineyard is firmly locked with a Entry Forbidden "Entrée Interdite" sign attached to it. The vineyard is never open to the public.

Paris Cabaret Au Lapin Agile
Au Lapin Agile cabaret night club 22, Rue Saules is near the Montmartre vineyard. It was originally called "Cabaret des Assassins". The story goes that a band of assassins broke in and killed the owner's son. In 1875, artist Andre Gill painted a sign that was hung outside the night club. It was a picture of a rabbit jumping out of a cooking pot. Locals gave the club the nickname "Le Lapin à Gill", "Gill's rabbit". Over time the name evolved into "Cabaret Au Lapin Agile", or, the Nimble Rabbit Cabaret. It became a favorite spot for struggling writers and artists, like Picasso, Modigliani, Apollinaire, and Utrillo. Au Lapin Agile also was popular with pimps, eccentrics, down-and-outs, revolutionarys, anarchists, students as well as well-heeled bourgeois who were out on a lark. The Lapin Agile Cabaret is still going and keeping alive the traditions of the Montmartre, with guests and singers joining together to sing choruses from well-known French songs. The cabaret’s sign, is still visible and has come to symbolise Montmartre.

Paris Montmartre Museum
The Museum of Montmartre is just above the vineyard, at 12 rue Cortot. It occupies one of the oldest houses in Montmartre, dating from the 17th century. In 1680 it was the residence of Roze de Rosimond, an actress in the Molière troupe. From the booth where you buy your ticket, you cross a small garden to access the actual museum, which is in an old house at the back. It overlooks the vineyard. It is delightful. The Museum is filled with paintings and posters from the heyday of Montmartre. There are old photos of famous cancan dancers. From the windows you can use your camera to get beautiful views of the vineyard. Renoir painted his famous work of art ‘Le Bal du Moulin de la Galette’ in 1876 in this building. The picture is now on display in the Musée d’Orsay!

Directions
Carry on walking along Rue Norvins until you find the junction with Rue Lepic. Turn right until you see a windmill on top of a building.

The Paris Windmills of Montmartre
The French word for Mill is Moulin. Fifteen working windmills used to adorn the hill of Montmartre but today only two remain. For a long time Montmartre was a hill top country village of agricultural workers peasants, artisans and millers. At its centre was the old Abbey. They were used to grind wheat, press grapes and crush materials needed by local factories. The only two remaining windmills today are the Le Moulin Radet and the le Moulin Blute-Fin.

The windmill "Blute-fin" was built in 1622 and often repaired. The name comes from the French verb "bluter" which means to sift flour. In 1814, during the siege of Paris one of the owners strongly defended the windmill against Russian Cossacks. They killed him and nailed him to the sails of the windmill. In 1870, the owner Charles-Nicolas Debray, added a guinguette, a popular style of drinking establishments with a dancing room. It was called "Moulin de la Galette". Guinguettes outside the city limits of Paris were popular because they offered public dancing and cheap alcohol which was not available inside the limits.

It was later used as a music-hall, French public TV radio and television studios. It was closed in 1974 and is now private property. In 1717 the "Radet" windmill was built.. It was used as a guinguette on Sundays and public holidays in the 19th century. In 1924, its owner moved the windmill to the corner of Rue Girardon and Rue Lepic. It was restored in 1978, but is not running. Renoir and other artists painted scenes from the Guinguette.

Directions
Carry on walking down hill along Rue Lepic until you come across Le Moulin Rouge in Boulevard Clichy.

Paris Moulin Rouge
Le Moulin Rouge, (The red windmill) is at the bottom of the Montmartre hill. It is a large night club with a large imitation red windmill built on the top. It is near the corner of Boulevard Clichy with Rue Lepic. I was a little disappointed the first time I saw this club famous for scantly clad cheeky cancan girls but it is one of those places you have to say you have seen. There are two shows a night, You pay to see a big production choreographed dance show with a few comedians, jugglers, and magicians. If you want to spend more you can have dinner there. It is very expensive. The Metro station is near by. Take it to your next location in Paris. I would suggest going to Notre Dame Catherdral.

Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral
Notre Dame de Paris literally translates to our lady of Paris. The nearest metro stations to Notre Dame Cathedral (the cathedral of our lady) are Saint-Michel and Cite. RER station Saint Michel Notre Dame is also close.

Notre Dame is built on l'Ile de la Cite, the island in the middle of the river Seine. This is where the city of Paris was founded. This stunning Gothic masterpiece took approximately 170 years to complete. You must go in even if it is just to admire the stunning stained glass "rose" windows. It is staggering that in the mediaeval period they hand no modern tools or cranes yet still managed to build this amazing building.

The first time I went to Paris I arrived on a very early train from the Alps with my climbing friends. I was sitting at a café next to the Cathedral having a beer at 6am when to our amazement a man in a wheelchair was pushed into the cathedral entrance by two priests before it was open. He was a hunchback. That is a true story.

If you have seen the Disney version of the Hunchback of Notre Dame you will know that the cathedral is also famous for its various gargoyles. To get a closer look at them go on the Towers tour. 255 steps take you to the "Gallery of chimeras”. The numerous gargoyles and funny-looking chimeras, sticking their tongues out at Paris below, make for really great pictures! The only problem is that a grid has been added, to stop people from jumping. These gargoyles are actually not 'gargoyles' but are 'grotesques'. The word gargoyle derives from the Latin word Latin word "gurgulio", which literally means throat and also the sound water makes passing through the throat. So a gargoyle is a decorative spout, to convey water away from the sides of buildings. A 'grotesque' is a similar figure, but doesn't have the function to lead away water from these types of cathedrals. So I should call them the 'grotesques of the Notre-Dame' instead.

You take 147 more steps to reach the bell tower, where you can see "Emmanuel", the biggest bell of Notre-Dame. It weighs 28,000 pounds. This is where Quasimodo, the hero of Victor Hugo's popular story "The Huntchback of Notre-Dame" published in 1831 was supposed to have lived. The tour ends on top of the 69 m tall left tower. You will have a great view of the spire and of the city all around. The Cathedral is open every day of the week, and admission is free. It costs 5.50 Euros to go on the Towers tour but you can use your Museum Pass if you have one.

Get there early as the queues of tourist get long very quickly. People are often turned away at the end of the day. Notre-Dame receives 14 million visitors per year, an average of 40.000 every day. As you look at the front of Notre Dame visitors enter by the right door. You move in an anti clockwise direction around the nave and choir and eventually towards the exit by the door on the left side of the frontage. Notre-Dame is dark inside even when there is sunshine outside. If your camera can change the ISO film speed setting set it to 400 or 800 to enable you to take photos in low light settings. To avoid camera shake rest your camera against one of the columns or a bench. Make sure you rest the ISO film speed to auto or 100 when you get back outside to daylight. The only way to avoid the tourist crowds is to visit in the winter. When I re-visited Notre-Dame during December, there were no queues outside and relatively few people inside.

Do not forget to walk round to the public garden. Even if you are not interested in gardens go and have a look at the east end for a view of the gothic flying buttresses supporting the choir, and then along the riverside under the south transept. In springtime you can sit under the cherry blossom.

On the pavement by the west door of Notre-Dame is a spot known as kilometre zero. This is where all of the main road distances in France are calculated. The square separating Notre Dame from Paris City Police Headquarters, is what appears to be the entrance to an underground toilet. It is not what it seems. It is in fact am interesting museum called the Crypte Archeologique. You will see the remains of the church which predated the cathedral, as well as streets and houses of Paris dating as far back as the Roman era.

When walking around the square be aware of pick pockets and scam artists. These villains know where the tourists flock and it is a target rich environment for them. On my last visit two different groups of east Europeans tried it on. One tried to distract me whilst his friend got near the back of my rucksack. The other two were female and tried the gold wedding ring trick again. ‘Hello have you dropped this gold ring?” They show you a polished fat copper ring used in plumbing. “Is it yours? They ask, “No? I do not want it. Would you like to buy it off me for 20 Euros? It looks like it would be worth 150 Euros in the shop.” Yeah right. The correct price would be a few cents.

Directions
When you have finished walking around Notre Dame Cathedral head north and cross one of the bridges. Turn left and walk west along the river bank towards The Lourve Palace. The shops on this section of the Seine River include small garden centres and pet shops.

The Lourve Palace
I love this building. It is one of the historical gems of Paris. This is where Napoleon held court and ruled his empire. The architecture is imposing and very grand. It was designed to impress. You can imaging regiments of Napoleons Imperial Guard marching and lining up to parade their battle honour Eagles in front of their commander in chief.

The new glass pyramid entrance to the Louvre Museum is one of those features you either love or hate. I adore it. It’s the juxtaposition of modern sleek reflective hard lines against the ornate decorated walls of the Lourve Palace that I feel complement each other because of the stark contrast in their design. If you are visiting Paris with children they will enjoy putting their hands in the many ponds that surround the pyramid.

The longest queues to get into the Louvre are at the Pyramid main entrance. If it is raining you will get very wet. On rainy days queue at the underground entrances by the Galerie du Carousel, 99 rue de Rivoli, with a connexion to the Metro station and by the Carousel gardens. If you have not already done so buy a ‘Carte Musees et Monuments’ museum pass in the Tourist Welcome Centre in the underground Galerie du Carousel. Get there early and start queuing before opening time at 9am. The longest queues are between 10am and 12 noon. Avoid the first Sunday of every month as the entrance is free and the queues are huge.

The rules on taking photographs in the Lourve have changed. You are now allowed to take still and video photography so long as it is for private use only. The use of flash or other means of artificial lighting is prohibited so turn off your automatic flash. Adjust the ISO sensitivity of your camera if you can to a higher number to enable you to take photos in the muted light of the galleries. Turn the ISO auto setting off and adjust to 400 or 800

Be prepared to be disappointed at the size of the Mona Lisa painting and annoyed at the amount of people around her. The thick protective glass does not enhance your viewing. One of the surprises to be found at this French national museum of art are the preserved foundations of the medieval castle that once stood in this location in the basement. The castle was there to protect the people of Paris when Viking long ships sailed up the River Seine to attack and plunder the city.

More than 50.000 objects can be found in the Egyptian collection of the Louvre. It is the second largest in the world after Cairo. This is not surprising as the collection started with Napoleon Bonaparte's expedition to Egypt between 1798 and 1801. Many looted items found their way back to Paris. The very talented French linguist Jean-François Champollion was the genius who worked out how to translate the ancient Egyptian writing back in 1822. He was appointed curator of a new Egyptian department in the Louvre that was inaugurated in 1827 under King Charles X.

Hôtel des Invalides & Napoleon's Tomb
To the French Napoleon is still a national hero and not a murdering land grabbing dictator that had to be stopped. They have buried his body in a magnificent tomb attached to the Hôtel des Invalides. My wife who has no interest in military matters was blown away by the sceptical. It should be on every tourists list of must visit places. It is on the south bank of the river Seine just a short walk west of the Lourve Palace. The northern entrance can be found on Avenue de Tourville. You cannot miss the building where Napoleon's Tomb can be found. Just look for the large bright gold dome. There are a number of Metro Stations nearby : Latour-Maubourg, Varenne, Invalides, or St-Francois-Xavier

The Emperor Napoléon died from poisoning in exile on the island of St Helena 5th May 1821. He was buried on the island until 1840 when King Louis-Philippe decided to transfer the body back to Paris. The body of the Emperor Napoléon I was finally laid to rest in his new tomb in the gold domed church of Hôtel des Invalides in 1861. The Dome Church also houses two of Napoléon's brothers, Jérôme and Joseph Bonaparte, Napoléon's son, as well as Marshals Ferdinand Foch Allied Supreme Commander World War I and Sebastien Le Prestre de Vauban’s heart. Vauban is one of my heros. He changed the landscape of Europe. He used science to bring a revolution in the design of military fortifications. Because of his work in the mid 1600’s tall castles were no longer constructed. Low walled star shaped forts that gave better protection from artillery sprung up all over Europe.

The Hôtel des Invalides also houses the Musée de l'Armée, the military museum of the Army of France, the Musée des Plans-Reliefs, and the Musée d'Histoire Contemporaine. Even if you are not interested in military history you must visit the Napoléonic section of the Musée de l'Armée even if it is just to see the attractive gaudy uniforms of Napoléon's Army. You can also see his uniform including that famous black hat. It brings history alive.

In 1670 King Lois XIV ordered that a hospital and church be built in Paris to help aged and unwell soldiers. It became the magnificent Hôtel des Invalides. Not to be out done in 1682 King Charles II of England ordered the Royal Hospital In Chelsea to be built and in 1694 King William of England ordered the military hospital in Greenwich to be constructed.

Paris Champs Elysées and the Arc de Triomphe
The Champs-Élysées is one of the most famous streets in the world. It is also one of the most expensive streets in Paris. This wide boulevard became popular in the mid-1800s because of the numerous young ladies who wanted to promenade and show off their finest fashions. It is still a fashion center with many famous designer outlets are situated along the avenue. The glamour of the Champs-Élysées, particularly its upper end, may not be quite what it once was. It is now being dominated by car showrooms, embassies, airline offices, and shopping arcades. You will still find high-class bars, deluxe hotels and restaurants. There are plenty of cinemas and very outrageously priced cafes. Champs-Elysées translates to The Elysian Fields. Its name is taken from “Elusia” that in Greek mythology meant a place where heroes come to relax. Enjoy walking along the Champs-Élysées and soaking up the atmosphere but if you are on a budget eat, drink and shop elsewhere. There are a number of Metro stations to use Metro line 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 12 or 13: Charles-de-Gaulle-Étoile, George V, Champs-Elysées Clemenceau, Concorde and RER A : Charles-de-Gaulle-Étoile

The Champs Elysées leads to the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile. It is the world's largest triumphal arch being 51 meters in height and is 45 meters wide. The structure was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus; designed by Jean François Thérèse Chalgrin. It was commissioned by Napoleon to commemorate France's military victories in 1805 after napoleon's victory in the battle of Austerlitz.

By the time Napoleon's Empire fell, the Arch still hadn't been completed. It was finished under Louis-Philipe in 1836 and now serves to honour all French soldiers and commemorate France's victories. In 1920, on Armistice Day, the tomb of the unknown soldier was added at the foot of the Arch, next to an eternal flame that burns in memory of all those who were killed during the two World Wars and haven't been identified. It is France’s main war shrine.

Not many people realise you can go up to the top. There is a museum covering the history of the monument and also significant moments in the history of France. To get up to the platform roof you have to climb 284 steps but the view is worth it. There is an entrance fee charged. On important occasions, a huge French flag is hung from the ceiling inside the Arch. It looks good at night and is open lat in the evening. The Arc de Triomphe is surrounded by 12 great avenues converging in a star shape. Do not try to cross the road. Look for one of the tunnels that goes under the street

Paris Eiffel Tower
I find the best approach to the tower is to take the Métro to the Trocadéro station & walk from the Palais de Chaillot to the Seine. The best view of the Eiffel Tower can be had from esplanade outside the Musée de la Marine at the Trocadero on the other side of the River Seine. The gold statues are great to frame your photograph of the tower. On Sunday June 23, 1940 around 8 am, the famous photograph of Adolf Hitler standing in the exact same place to view the Eiffel Tower and occupied Paris. I like to stand at the bottom of the tower and look up to the biggest "Mecano" structure in the world. It is now one of the world’s biggest tourist traps, that keeps drawing in around 6,5 million people a year.

Any visit to Paris wouldn't be complete without a visit to see the Eiffel Tower. If you are on a day trip do not waste your valuable time queuing in the incredibly long lines of tourist to get a ticket. Be content with looking at the tower from the outside. If you are in Paris for longer get up early and be prepared for a long wait. It is called la Tour Eiffel in French.

la Tour Eiffel was built for the 1889 World Fair by Gustave-Alexandre Eiffel, the French engineer, famous mainly for his iron bridges. It was not meant to be a permanent feature. It weights 7,000 tones, being made of 15,000 pieces fitted together by 2,500,000 rivets. At first many Parisians hated the big mass of metal when it was first erected. It is recorded that French writer Guy de Maupassant disliked it so much that he ate at the tower's restaurant nearly every day because it was the only place in Paris where he couldn't see the tower! It's also worth seeing it during the day and then going back at night to see it all lit up and to watch when the flashing lights go on - it sparkles each hour on the hour for about 10 minutes.

It is much cheaper to climb up the stairs and you avoid the long lines waiting for the elevator. You have to climb 345 steps to get to the first level, and another 359 steps to get to the second level. Do be aware that the stairs only go up to the second level, so if you want to go all the way to the top you're going to have to pay again to use the elevator.

If you do not want to walk up the steps or physical cannot, you'll find elevators in two of the Eiffel Tower’s pillars. The first landing provides a view over the rooftops at 189ft - 57.63 meters. There are Souvenir shops, a restaurant ‘Altitude 95’ named because it's 95m above sea level (tel- 01-45-55-20-04) and Post office, with special "Paris Eiffel Tower " stamps. The 2nd landing offers a panoramic look at the city at 379ft - 115.73 meters. You can use Telescopes to explore the view and again there are more shops. There is also an extremely expensive Restaurant called Jules Verne (tel- 01-45-55-61-44). The 3rd landing can pnly be reached by elevator and is at 905ft 11 inches - 276.13 meters. On a clear day you can see for 40 miles – 64km If you really want to eat in the very expensive Jules Verne restaurant phone for a reservation at least 2 months in advance. You cannot use your ‘Carte Musées et Monuments’.

Paris Cinema Tips
If you are staying in Paris for a number of nights and you are on a budget consider going to the cinema. Look for the letters "V.O." on the posters which means in their original language. So you can watch many films in English but you will have to put up with French subtitles. Many theatres have reduced ticket prices on Mondays and Wednesdays. Generally, the cheapest cinema theaters are found in the Latin Quarter. Film listings can be found in newspapers or on the internet. Try asking the desk staff at your hotel.

Museum Pass is a must
The "Carte Musees et Monuments" is a great buy if you're planning on visiting at least four or five museums or sights and it also lets you bypass long ticket queus. You can buy a two day, four day or six day card and yes, the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Musee Picasso, Versailles, Centre Pompidou, and Arc de Triomphe and a further 54 attractions are all included. You can buy it at any of these attractions, the tourist office, or any Metro station. Just write your name and the date on the pass to activate it. Unlike London where a lot of the museums and galleries are free visiting attractions in Paris can be expensive. If you plan to visit more than four during your trip then the card will save you money.

Paris Château de Versailles
The Château de Versailles is one of the largest palaces in the world. Versailles has more than 700 rooms, 1250 fireplaces, 2,000 windows, 67 staircases and a 1,800 acres of park for you to explore. The best Italian and French artists of the time were commissioned to provide paintings, tapestries, and sculptures.

From 1661 the young King Louis XIV had his architects rebuild the early Versailles royal residence. In 1682, the Château de Versailles became the official residence of the Sun King and his Court , replacing the Louvre and Saint-Germain Castles. Versailles ' fabulous gardens and park are almost as spectacular as the palace. Le Nôtre designed this Versailles garden including fountains, jets, waterfalls, statues, water parterres, formal gardens, Grand Perspective and Grand Canal, to set off the palace’s architecture.

It gets very crowded so be prepared! Go early because the line of visitors gets very long. Versailles is located about 20 km west of Paris. Just take a 30-minute ride on the RER train, Line C, to Versailles Rive Gauche Station, the last stop on the line. This station brings you within a 10 minute walk of the famous Chateau of Versailles and the Hotel de Ville. In Versailles, turn right as you exit from the train station and then left on Avenue de Paris - this will take you all the way up to the main entrance.

Try to allow an entire day for your visit because once you have finished touring around the palace of Versailles, you can head over to the gardens for a nice picnic before visiting the Grand and Petit Trianon and walking over to Marie-Antoinette's hamlet.

If you buy an RER/Versailles combo pass that includes a return train ticket and quick access to all the Versailles buildings. The advantages of this ticket is there is no need to wait in line when you get there. You also get an audio-guide for the visit of the Palace. You can buy this pass at the information booth located in the RER station. It is a really good deal if you plan on visiting the entire estate.

If you have not purchased the RER/Versailles combo pass before walking up to the entrance to Versailles stop at the Gift Shop where they sell the tickets to get in. Buy them there. Then just go to the ticket holders entrance and give them your ticket. If you decide to get the tickets at the palace entrance be prepared to wait a long time in line no matter what the season.

On any given day, over 20,000 people could be walking the grounds around the palace. The Sun Kin Louis XIV quickly realized that he needed a place to go to escape from Versailles life. In 1687, the Grand Trianon was built for the king and his immediate family. Although it is much smaller than the palace, it is just as elegant.

In 1768, the Petit Trianon had been built earlier by Louis XV. It was meant to be a gift to the king's favorite, Madame de Pompadour; however, she died before its completion. Louis XVI offered it to his queen Marie-Antoinette. She loved this "little country house". Nearby the King built the "Queen's hamlet". The hamlet was basically a small country village, complete with a farm where Marie-Antoinette would milk her cows and enjoy the quiet country life with children. It was built in 1783

The palace gets very crowded so it's quite nice to escape to other parts of the estate. There are a few snack bars in the gardens where you can buy a baguette at a fairly reasonable price considering where you are, and nothing beats lying down by the Grand Canal after walking throughout the gardens. If you don't feel like walking it's possible to rent bikes, hop on the little train, or even rent a paddle boat to go on the canal, but all of these are rather expensive. So just make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and you're good to go! The park and the gardens open every day except in bad weather from 7 a.m. in summer, 8 a.m. in winter, until sunset.

If you go to Versaille on a Sunday a short walk from the palace into the town you will find a market. There were stalls which sold nothing but lots of different types of mushrooms, There were also stalls selling all the different types of cheeses and others selling sausages and pate. When we bought something and they found out we were English they put extra goodies in our bag for nothing. I got some sausage and some fruit extra. I was really please with how nice and friendly they were compared to when we in the heart of Paris where the people seemed very rude and unfriendly.On the way down to the market place there were also lots of little shops like teddybear shops and antique. Walk straight down to the bottom of the huge palace car park where the brasseries are located and follow the road behind them. Turn right down a street where there are grocery shops and go down a side street.

Paris Saint-Germaine-Des-Prés
After a quick metro ride you can find yourself strolling around the once bohemian now posh Latin Quarter which is home to the Sorbonne University and streets of chic boutiques ideal for window shopping. At 21 Rue Bonaparte there is a branch of a legendary café and cake shop called Ladurée. It is not cheap but you are only in Paris for a short time sop splash out on a coffee and a colourful light as a feather cake or macaroon.

Paris Musée D’Orsay
The splendid Art museum is housed in a turn of last century former train station. It houses a wonderful collection of impressionist, post impressionist and art nouveau masterpieces. The entrance fee is expensive. In London entrance to this type of museum is free. It is a shame the French have not got around to the same idea.

Paris Hôtel de Ville (City Hall) and La Marais
It is a short stroll from the Hôtel de Ville to enter the area known as La Marais. It is a lively district full of cool boutiques, funky bars and restaurants. It is the centre of the Jewish and Gay communities. Take a walk past the very modernist Centre Pompidou which is a museum and library.

Paris Boulevard Haussmann
For the shopper just a short distance from the Boulevard Haussmann Metro Station you will find two famous French department stores Printemps and Galeries Lafayette.

Paris Open deck boat trip
I like boat trips. The River Seine offers some splendid views of many Parisian landmarks. For the photographer being on the water, lower than street level, adds more drama to your images. There are a number of companies that run boats from Notre Dame and head off towards the Eiffel Tower. You can but a return trip or just a single. It is a very pleasant way to travel.

Paris Musee de l'Orangerie Jardin des Tuileries
An 1852 former orange-tree greenhouse in a corner of the Tuileries garden, l'Orangerie was transformed into a museum in 1927 to house Claude Monet's Water-Lilies, giant panels inspired by his pond in Giverny. The existing skylights let in natural light. Other art works include those by Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso, and Renoir.

Paris Grand Palais and the Petit Palais avenue Winston Churchill
These are the sister palaces, the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais were built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900. The Petit Palais is a flamboyant, domed confection of gilded wrought iron and Italian mosaics. It is home to the Musee des Beaux-Arts, which has permanent works by Delacroix and Courbet. In the half-moon garden courtyard, palm trees have been replanted. Across the street the renovated Grand Palais glass-and-steel exhibition hall houses temporary exhibits.

Paris Musee du Quai Branly 37 quai Branly
The only museum in Paris dedicated to ethnography and indigenous peoples is the Musee du Quai Branly. France used to have a large Empire. The building, designed by Jean Nouvel, is intended to resemble a giant footbridge; what looks from afar like a long elevated strip is surrounded by a garden with 178 types of trees, including sugar maples, cherry trees, and magnolias.

Paris Modern Art Museum
The Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, in the east wing of the Palais de Tokyo, now lets guests wander around until 10 p.m. on Wednesdays. As part of a two-and-a-half-year renovation completed in February, exhibition space was added in the basement, and a special "black room" was built to screen art videos. Work was also done to Raoul Dufy's 1937 La Fee Electricite, an epic celebration of electricity. The 6,450-foot oil mural, composed of 250 wood panels, had its asbestos backing stripped off, and is mounted on curved walls and illuminated from the floor, carrying out the artist's original vision.

Catch the No.24 bus
If your feet are aching do not pay for an expensive sightseeing bus. Hop on the number 24 bus. It runs through Paris' most beautiful areas. It does a circuit around central Paris, mostly hugging the Seine, from the Gare St-Lazare to the Ecole Veterinaire de Maisons-Alfort. Along the way, you'll cross the Seine six times and pass by place de la Concorde, the Louvre, Pont-Neuf, Notre-Dame, Ile St-Louis, and place St-Michel. You'll then head down boulevard St-Germain and pass the Arab Institute and the Musee d'Orsay.

A grand view for free
Head up to the rooftop terrace of La Samaritaine department store (rue de la Monnaie at rue de Rivoli, 1st arr., Metro: Pont-Neuf or Chatelet). Monday through Saturday. Entrance is free and you can feast your eyes and camera lens one of the prettiest views in the city.

Paris fashion shows
You can go to a real live Paris fashion show. Le Printemps and Galeries Lafayette department stores have free runway shows with live models showing off the latest from Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and other famous designers. Galeries Lafayette can be found at 40 blvd. Haussmann. The nearest Metro station is Chausee d'Antin or Havre-Caumartin. Printemps Mode building can be found at 64 blvd. Haussmann. Check their website via Google for times

Paris Flea markets
If you like poking around flea markets to find a bargin follow savvy Parisians to the Porte de Vanves. The locals call it the "the real flea market" - for antique cutlery, dishes, vases, books, jewelry, clothing, and more. It's at avenues Marc Sangnier and Georges-Lafenestre. The nearest Metro station is Porte de Vanves. It is open weekends from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The other more pricy Flea market is Puces de Saint Ouen at the Porte de Clignancourt
