The "To Do when in Paris" Top Ten

Here are 10 things you absolutely do when you go to Paris:

1) take a crack at Montmartre Place du Tertre after looking at the view from Sacré-Coeur, dancers, jugglers and before you make a portrait from one of dozens of artists that are in place;

 

2) walk to the Champs-Elysees avenue Geoge V, rue Saint-Honoré and the Place Vendome to view the shop windows of Paris's most luxurious making jokes about how many clothes, bags, shoes and watches tens of thousands of euro could buy but you do not like that much;

3) climb the Eiffel Tower (remember to book tickets months in advance!) Montparnasse Tower and then on to say that I have seen Paris from the two highest points of the city;

4) attach a  love padlock to the railings of the pedestrian bridge of love des Arts and declare it to your or your loved one (if you're only friends can also attach a lock of friendship instead of love);

5) enter the maximum number of monuments and museums on the first Sunday of the month as knowing that the revenues are free (not all though) is also willing to stand in line to get half an hour and half hour in the museum only see the Mona Lisa, the portrait of Van Gogh, or the view from the top of the ' Arc de Triomphe;

6) go around all the souvenir shops (one attached to another to another) and buy all types of shirts, hats, greeting card, pendant or cup thinking that prices are equal in all the shops close to Notre-Dame, Place Saint-Michel, Rue de Steinkerque (the slope leading to the Sacred Heart), and then realize that close to your hotel on the outskirts of the same things also cost a half;

7) visit the Galeries Lafayette frustrated because after having visited them all can not afford to buy all the best stuff you want, follow the sign that randomly takes you to the terrace and you find yourself in a magical and fascinating place from where you can enjoy a spectacular views on the operation and Boulevards;

8) rest lying down on the grass trimmed and perfect the Tuileries, Place des Vosges or the Champs de Mars, or in the Parks of Vincennes and Boulogne, with the children and families to France;

9) go to the Trocadero shots just before the exact time from the start to be able to enjoy those few minutes during which the Eiffel Tower began to sparkle magically, observe dazed and want to stay another hour because the time to take pictures of you the Tower was not enough (this is the most beautiful place from which it can be observed);

10) Avoid the temptation to eat at a pizzeria or restaurant "Italian" (not to be disappointed, disgusted or even worse, the draft that will serve Italian cuisine) and prefer a good traditional restaurant or brasserie French maybe in a quiet, popular and non-tourist Paris.
