PARIS IN THREE DAYS
Paris, the capital of France, is one of the most popular cities in the world. Everyone calls it ‘the City of Light’. But if you have only three days in Paris, how will you plan your trip?
Start your trip with a visit to Île de la Cité Island. On this island, you can visit the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris Notre Dame Cathedral. Because the cathedral is closed right now, you will only be able to see it from outside. Then take a boat trip along the Seine River and enjoy the beautiful scenery. On day two, you should visit the Eiffel Tower – the most famous symbol of France. It is always very crowded, so don’t forget to book tickets in advance. If the weather is nice, you should have a picnic in Champs de Mars, a peaceful park in front of the Eiffel Tower. If you have time, walk to the top of the Arc de Triomphe. You can enjoy the wonderful view of the whole Paris from there. On day three, spend the morning in the Palace of Versailles and Louvre Museum. In the afternoon, let’s go shopping in Avenue des Champs-Élysées. If the weather is rainy or cold, you can sit in a café and enjoy a cup of coffee and delicious cakes.
