Much of the world's great art was created or is currently on display in Paris. You'll find the most famous works in the Louvre, the Musée D'Orsay, the Musée Rodin, the Musée de l'Orangerie and the Centre Pompidou.
Many of the buildings in Paris are famous simply for their architecture. The most iconic structure is the Eiffel Tower, but other famous buildings include the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the Saint-Chapelle and the Opéra Garnier.
Every corner of Paris offers a historical site to see. Most tourists visit the Arc de Triomphe, Napoleon's Tomb at Les Invalides and Marie Antoinette's prison cell at the Conciergerie.
If you want the best food in Paris, ask a local for a recommendation. Another way to experience French food is to simply go to the neighborhood markets, bakeries and corner bistros.
When you travel to Paris, you'll be one tourist in a sea of tourists. Pickpockets love those crowds of tourists, so be aware of your surroundings and keep track of your belongings.
