Paris : Walks
Few hours on "Ile de la Cité" and surroundings
For a first visit to Paris, certain monuments are a must on your "to do" list. Notre-Dame, Sainte-Chapelle and the Conciergerie are all located on the l'île de la Cité (Island of the city) and fit the category. Instead of going home with Eiffel Tower key chains and Arc de Triomphe ashtrays, find your souvenirs at the specialty boutiques of this neghborhood: a design obeject or a gourmet oil or wine might be a better alternative. Childhood ambiance can be found at Zéro de conduite.
