When looking for Paris France attractions, there will be so many options to choose from. Paris France attractions provide a wide variety of museums, parks, plazas and other places to enjoy as well as the famous Eiffel Tower.

When one visits the capital of love - which as everyone knows is the city of Paris - they are probably looking forward to the many attractions which this city has to offer.

Remember that Paris is by no means a cheap city and most of the places listed here do in fact require some form of payment. Most taxi drivers in Paris will know just enough English to drive you to your destination, so you might take this time to learn a few words and phrases in French.

Of course, one of the best known Paris France attractions would have to be the Eiffel Tower. The tower itself is fairly easy to climb as it has an elevator system leading to the last few floors. The tower was built in the 19th century and is undoubtedly one of the most recognized and visited structures in the modern world. It is, in fact, the most visited paid monument to be found anywhere, so this should certainly be on your list of visits on your vacation in Paris and enjoying the best of the Paris France attractions.

At nearly 1,100 feet tall, the tower is most pleasing to the eye. However, it is not so much the height as the architecture itself that really leaves the mind to wonder as to how is it possible to create such a wonderful complex and beautiful structure.

The tower is in a place known as Champ de Mars or Shamp du Mars. This open green space surrounds the Eiffel Tower and is a wonderful place to go for a walk by yourself or with loved ones. If you are traveling on the French subway system, then this stop is known as the Ecole Militaire.

Remember that Paris is the most populous city in France and the most visited city in the entire world. Do not expect to reach a destination without at least a few crowds which may usually consist of tour groups gathering. As a leading cultural center, Paris is essential to visit for world travelers. Usually, temperatures in Paris are warm and gentle as rarely does weather here become uncomfortable or dreary.

The Place de la Bastille is the sight of the famous Bastille prison as one of the most famous Paris France attractions. It was active before the French Revolution and it ended the need for use as a prison. Originally, the Bastille was used to hold religious and political prisoners during the 18th century.

However, unlike many rumors that may exist today, the prisoners were treated fairly well compared to most prisoners in the city itself.

Today, the Bastille offers paid tours and many of the old dungeons are still intact within the prison. Tourists are provided a fairly gruesome portrayal of conditions within a prison of the time, and this protrayel of prison life is not always for the faint of heart. Once visited, you will likely remember these conditions that so many had to endure for the rest of your life.

Around this area, just like many areas of Paris France attractions, you will find numerous cafes and bars for your enjoyment.

If you are looking for shopping opportunities, however, you probably want to head directly to the Champs-Elysees, an important attraction that has many world-class shops for the serious shopper. Paris is certainly a city and travel destination to be enjoyed by all.
