Under the SkyBest of IgoUgo

Overview

Really Paris has a lot of tourist sites to see like the Arch de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, and a lot more. I hate shopping, but they had high expensive shopping to go in like Dior, Louis Vuitton that was even fun for me.

Quick Tips:

There were many people trying to get money from me off the streets, either selling you stuff or because I am American.

Best Way To Get Around:

Public transportation there subway (metro) system was really easy to follow also just walking was really nice because you could just see what Paris has to offer you and scenery.

Musée du LouvreBest of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Louvre Museum"

I was disappointed in the museum maybe because I'm not too thrilled with art. We came across the Mona Lisa and I thought it would just be way bigger. There were a lot of tour groups and people there. But one good thing is if you can show that you are 18 and younger then you get in free the first Sunday of every month everyone gets in free. This is for all the museums.

Eiffel TowerBest of IgoUgo

Attraction

The Eiffel Tower was everything I thought. It was amazing as you are on the subway going to the stop for the Eiffel Tower it's amazing because all of a sudden you're looking out of the window and you see a huge image that looks fake but it is real. Seeing it at night was the best opportunity, it is all lit up and everything that was Paris to me.

Arc de TriompheBest of IgoUgo

Attraction | "The Arc de Triomphe"

The Arc de Triomphe was amazing but be careful when getting off of the subway at the stop if you go just up the stairs you will see it, but as you see it from the side you can't cross the street to go over or under it. There's another passage way though the subway tunnel that takes you under the road to the arc.
