Grab a map of Paris France, and let your France vacation begin! There is no city in the world like the city of Paris, also known as the city of love and the city of lights. There are endless things to see, to do, and to taste in this famous city, and you don't want to miss a single minute. Having a Paris map on hand will ensure that you get from one place to the other quickly, safely, and without losing your way.
The good news is that most of Paris's attractions are very accessible and located along the River Seine. With a miniature map of Paris France in your hand, you can easily find your way to the famous Louvre, the city's oldest and largest museum which is home to the equally famous Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo da Vinci. Another way to recognize the Louvre is to look for the large glass pyramid located in the courtyard which serves as the museum's main entranceway.
Given the vastness of the Louvre, you realistically need a full day to truly do it justice. But if you only have a few hours to explore the interior, it's worth your while to purchase a map of the museum. Alternatively, if you plan your trip to Paris ahead of time, you can book a 2-hour guided tour which showcases the most well-known exhibits. After the tour you are free to explore the rest of the museum at your leisure.
As a tourist, even more important than obtaining a map of Paris France is buying a Metro map. The Metro, Paris's world-class underground subway, is considered by both visitors and experts the best way to travel in the country. Since many Paris attractions are located near one another, getting off at one Metro station often leads you to a whole host of famous sites to explore.
Of course, you don't want to miss visiting the Eiffel Tower and enjoying the magnificent view of the city it offers. From there you can hop on the Metro to Notre Dame and Sacre Cour, Paris's most prestigious and oldest churches. If you get off the Metro at the Louvre, you can simply walk over to the Palais Royal, which is located nearby. And if you want to see the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysee in all their brilliance, you better get there in the evening, when all the lights are on.
Bicycle riding is a favorite past time of the Parisians and a wonderful way to experience the city firsthand. As you ride over the cobblestones and down the narrow streets, you will have a front-row seat to Paris's true beauty, which lies in its architecture, parks, and walkways. Be sure to stop off at the Parc de Belleville, which features an observation point with an amazing view. And of course, check your map of Paris France for some of the city's finest bistros where you can stop for a bite to eat. Better yet, pick up a baguette and some French wine and cheese and enjoy a picnic in one of Paris's finest parks!
