In a nutshell...
Paris can be discovered in many different ways. Sightseers can visit the Eiffel Tower, Sacré Cœur, the Montparnasse Tower and the Arc de Triomphe Cultural visits of Paris include the Louvre, the Pompidou Centre, the Grand Palace and the Orsay Museum. Whichever sights you choose, the capital abounds with visual delights.
