It really is almost impossible to explore even the most famous sights in Paris during a weekend visit. Even a week in Paris would really be more stressful than a holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Paris really does have a lot to offer. To experience as much as possible in a short time, you really have to plan your time in Paris well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was hot in Paris and we felt far too lethargic for a city tour. However, we conjured up enough motivation to get up and go for a walk in a park. So we went to the Jardin du Luxembourg.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Jardin de Luxembourg →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> The Panth\u00e9on Paris is located in the 5th Arrondissement on the hill of St. Genevi\u00e8ve. Originally, the building was intended to be a church but today it serves as the National Hall of Fame of France and as a final resting place of many French celebrities.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Panth\u00e9on Paris →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Paris \u2013 a wonderful city. We made a list of our top 5 places to visit in Paris. There are certainly many other great places to see in Paris, but we think that these five should absolutely not be missed on the first visit to Paris.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Top 5 places →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> A visit to Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur was one of my pre-planned and definite items on the itinerary. When we were in Paris last, in 2003, our visit was rather short but this time I really wanted to make time for a proper tour of the church and a visit to the dome.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Modern architecture is omnipresent in Paris. Whether or not one actually likes this style is a different story. What is certain, though, is that this almost futuristic looking style is something quite special.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Centre Pompidou and Fondation Louis Vuitton →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> We are the sort of travellers that don\u2019t have to visit everything that can be visited. Especially the churches that all kind of look the same we usually skip. With the Palais Garnier, we were unsure whether or not to go see it. From the outside, it isn\u2019t all that spectacular and after all, it…<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Op\u00e9ra Garnier →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Paris is expensive, this realisation hit us time and again. But there is still a ton to do in Paris without you having to whip out the wallet all the time.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Paris for free →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> This is a question we asked ourselves before we came to Paris. The view from the Eiffel Tower is grand, that much we know, but so are the wait times to get up there. Our decision was to decide once we\u2019re there.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Eiffel Tower and Palais du Trocad\u00e9ro →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Good that the sun is out. I don\u2019t want to be here on a foggy autumn morning \u2013 on the P\u00e8re Lachaise Cemetary in Paris.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n P\u00e8re Lachaise Cemetary →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> The Arc de Triomphe, like the Eiffel Tower, is a must in Paris. We, like so many other tourists, have moved there too. But is it really worth the visit, or is it just a check on the list of attractions in Paris?<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Arc de Triomphe →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It really is almost impossible to explore even the most famous sights in Paris during a weekend visit.
