Paris Paris, steeped in history and packed
full of world famous landmarks, is judged by many to be
the most beautiful and romantic city in the world. Our
Paris at leisure tour is by far the best way to see the
French capital at your own pace.
Some sights that are sure to be on our itinerary are:
Notre Dame
This Gothic masterpiece was built between the twelfth
and fourteenth centuries spanning 170 years and stands
on the site of a Roman temple. The Portal of the
Virgin, the South and West Rose Windows, the
treasury, the flying buttresses, the spire, the
paintings, and the gargoyles make this cathedral an
architectural wonder.
Les Invalides Louis XIV, the Sun King,
originally built this place as a hospital for the
wounded and homeless veterans. It remains today as not
only a hospital for veterans, but also as a museum of
military history from the Stone Age to World War
II. In the crypt, Napoleon is buried as he
wished to "rest on the banks of the Seine".
From here to
the Eiffel Tower for a bird's eye view of Paris
or a boat ride along the Seine, a trip to the
Louvre or up the steps of romantic Montmartre,
the choice of activities facing the visitor is almost
overwhelming - all the more reason to enjoy Paris at our
leisure!
