- PUNITBANSALLudhiana, India139 contributionsParis is known by Eiffel tower and its true to its fame . Amazing from the time you see it . Usually you get a ticket to second floor you can also go to sumet. Best photos you get from second floor . View in night is best from Trocadéro. That’s not to be missedWritten 16 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MILOUWNew York City, NY1,415 contributionsThe Paris 1874 exhibition has assembled artworks presented that year at the official Salon as well as at the first ever impressionist art show.
The comparison is illuminating and displays rarely seen paintings.
Great effort by the curators, of course the show draws crowds.Written 15 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andy G3 contributionsZooparc Beauval is a truely beautiful place, with such rare and exotic animals. All enclosures were clean and viewing was perfect. The animals all looked happy and were highly active.
My family travelled from the UK and it was well worth the trip. The cable car is a brilliant way to access areas of the park and in itself a great experience allowing you to see it all from above.Written 25 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

From the iconic landmarks that line its banks to the tranquil atmosphere that pervades its waters, a cruise along the Seine is a must-do for any visitor to Paris.
The cruise offered a unique perspective of Paris, allowing us to admire its breathtaking architecture from a different angle. As we glided along the river, we were treated to panoramic views of landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Louvre Museum, each one more stunning than the last. The gentle sway of the boat and the soothing lull of the water created a sense of tranquility that was truly magical.
One of the highlights of the cruise was passing under the historic bridges that span the Seine. Each bridge has its own story to tell, and sailing beneath them felt like journeying through time. From the ornate beauty of the Pont Alexandre III to the romantic charm of the Pont des Arts, every bridge added to the allure of the river journey.
In addition to the iconic landmarks and bridges, the Seine River is also home to charming riverside neighborhoods that exude Parisian charm. From the bustling streets of Saint-Germain-des-Prés to the artistic enclave of Montmartre, we enjoyed glimpses of everyday life along the riverbanks, giving us a deeper appreciation for the city and its people.
Throughout the cruise, the knowledgeable guides provided fascinating insights into the history and culture of Paris. Their commentary added context to the sights we were seeing, enriching our experience and deepening our understanding of this remarkable city.
Of course, no river cruise would be complete without indulging in some delicious French cuisine. We opted for a sunset cruise with dinner on board, and it was truly a culinary delight. Savoring gourmet dishes while watching the sun dip below the horizon and the city lights come to life was an experience we will never forget.
In conclusion, our cruise along the Seine River was a highlight of our visit to Paris. From the stunning views of iconic landmarks to the tranquil beauty of the river itself, every moment was filled with wonder and awe. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, I highly recommend experiencing the magic of the Seine for yourself. It's an experience that will stay with you long after the journey is over.Written 14 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

( the dance of the birds) The enactments are so realistic! There were 300 different birds swooping over our heads! You can hire mobility scooters as it goes up quite a steep hill so if you have mobility issues it may be a bit difficult. Well worth the money.Written 5 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Cathy TMassachusetts24 contributionsMy sister and I took the two hour guided tour of the Opera House. The space is just amazing and should be on everyone's list if they are visiting Paris. We were lucky enough to have a incredibly knowledgeable tour guide named Rita. Her presentation was interesting and quite theatrical. She was able to include historical context in a manner that was easy to comprehend. Thank you Rita for making our visit so great!Written 12 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NoraatcSudbury, MA35,831 contributionsIt was a great idea to pre-book my combined ticket (Sainte-Chapelle and Conciergerie) for 9AM: After my brisk morning walk, I reached the entrance at 8:30am and was #6 in line. Waited for thirty minutes, looked back and realized that the line has grown exponentially.
I had been to Sainte-Chapelle back in 1997 on our first trip to Paris, so I knew what to expect, but my breath was taken away yet again. The chapel’s magnificent stained glass windows revive the Book of Genesis, every window has its own tale to tell…The Sistine Chapel in the Vatican and the windows of Sainte-Chapelle are the best in delivering the story - the Book of Genesis comes to life and not just for devoted believers. It took me about an hour to enjoy the bright colors and intricate etchings of the stained glass windows and take pictures. The first ten minutes inside were the best: there were no crowds at all.Written 14 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
