The real must-sees in Paris are: the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral, the Montmartre district, taking a walk on the Seine.
The most beautiful views of Paris are from the Eiffel Tower, the Sacré-Coeur, the Arc de Triomphe and the Ballon de Paris.
Before, there was also the view from the Montparnasse Tower, but this is currently under construction for several years. Cruises on the Seine also offer one of the most beautiful views of Paris from the Seine. All these activities are naturally open on weekends. Don’t forget to book!
A museum (you have the choice, depending on the age of the children!), an exhibition, the covered galleries, a tour of the department stores… Don’t miss our section: what to do when it rains. You will discover all our ideas!
