Place de la Bastille

The Bastille was finished being built in 1383.  The Bastille is a square in Paris where the Bastille prison once stood and represents liberty.  During the French Revolution angry citizens of Paris stormed the Bastille and destroyed it during King Louis' reign.  Today the 14 July is celebrated as Bastille day and the square is used for political demonstrations, concerts, and gatherings.

Jardin du Luxembourgh

The Jardin du Luxembourgh is a park in Paris.  The park is 55 acres and was originally owned by the Duke of Luxembourgh.  At the northern end of the park is the Luxembourgh palace, which served as a prison during the French Revolution in the 1700s.  Marie de'Medici had the park constructed after the death of her husband, King Henry IV of France, was murdered in 1610.  She decided to move away from the Louvre palace and into the Luxembourgh palace.  
Today the gardens are a tourist attraction that compels many people from all over to come and explore.  The park houses ponds, statues, lawns, paths, and beautiful flowers.  It is also a great place to relax in.

Perfume Museum

If  you like perfume then this is the right place to go!  The museum is all about perfume, how you make it, and different scents.  The museum is located in the ninth district of Paris and is in a very busy and popular area.  The museum was created in 1983 by the Fragonard Perfume Company.  Inside the museum displays old glass perfume bottles and new bottles so that you can see the difference between new and old bottles.  This was a very fun museum to visit that wasn't a bore!

Disneyland Paris!

Why not visit Disneyland Paris if you're in Paris?  If you're a fan of Disney parks then you should definitely consider visiting this one!  Originally Disneyland Paris was called Euro Disney Resort and many French people did not want the park to be built because they feared that the park itself would turn Paris into something that they did not want (cultural imperialism).  Disneyland Paris is the second most busiest park in the world with 15.6 million visitors in 2013.  Who doesn't love Disney?!

Pont Neuf

Pont Neuf is the oldest bridge in Paris that runs across the Seine.  The bridge was constructed between 1578 and 1607 and is 761 feet long.  In 1994 the bridge was reconstructed and was finished in 2007.  For a long time this was the widest bridge in Paris so it had a lot of traffic and was very popular to travel over.  Walking across this bridge is walking across history!

Take a Trip on the Seine

The Seine is the major river that runs through the city of Paris.  When visiting Paris you should consider taking a boat ride at night on the Seine.  Tickets to go on a boat ride are not expensive and are easy to get.  I reccomend taking the boat ride at night because you get to see everything lit up at night which is beautiful.  The Eiffel Tower is lit up at night and changes color about every fifteen minutes.  The Seine is part of Paris and what better way to see it than to explore it by boat?

Pompidou

First glance at this building and you'll be wondering what the heck it is!  It has an "inside out" architecture design with brightly colored pipes on the exterior of the building.  Inside the museum Pompidou houses the works of Dali, Picasso, Francis Bacon, and so on.  Outside the museum is where all the fun is at with street performers dancing, singing, performing magic tricks, and such.  The museum itself is a work of art and I have never seen anything quite like it in my entire life.  Overall, this museum and the location of this structure is just fun.  There's a lot to do with shopping, cafes, and watching street performers.
