10 Par is: Fam ous places Montmartre Great when it's hot and sunny! Opéra You can book tickets online before Go down at "Abbesses" metro station. Disneyland Paris The best way is to go there with the RER A (towards Marne-la-Vallée) Champs-Eylsées Nice for promenade and shopping altough it can be a bit too crowded sometimes. Le Chateau de Versailles Ligne 4 to St Michel and then change to take he RER C (towards Versailles - Rive Gauche) Le Louvre Take the "Carousel du Louvre" entrance to avoid the queue Shopping? If you want to go shopping, you can go to the Champs Elysées, or to the Grands Boulevards where you'll find the famous Galeries Lafayette. If you're staying a long time, you might want to check La vallée village which is an outlet factory for luxury brands (-50% over most products). But the downside is that it is very far from the center (40min inside the RER A).

Nearest hospit al is Hopital Georges -Pompidou The Vendôme column was started in 1806 at Napoleon's direction. It was modelled after Trajan's Column, to celebrate the victory of Austerlitz. Its veneer of 425 spiraling bas-relief bronze plates was made out of cannon taken from the combined armies of Europe. It is sometimes confused with the 3,000-year old obelisk, which has a very different story (was moved from Egypt to the center of Place de la Concorde by King Louis-Phillipe).
