Paris Short Stay Holidays

Paris is one of the premier capitals of the world especially the romantic amongst us; it is also one of the best European city destinations. Unfortunately a
Paris short stay holiday can only ever be considered a taster; for most visitors, this is just enough time to see what it has to offer.

A city famous for its fabulous architecture, good food, wine, street markets and galleries; the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre must not go unmentioned. Fortunately for tourists, Paris has a first rate transportation system; the Metro underground train network will probably be the main method as it runs regularly and reaches every part of the city.

The Eiffel Tower at over 300 meters tall is a magnificent steel structure; it can be seen from any point within the city and the superb views just can't be matched by those looking at it from the ground. Illuminated at night it dominates the city's skyline; guided tours add to the thrill as you get to peek into history on how it was constructed.

If you plan on spending some of your traveler's checks in Paris, then a trip down the Champs Elysees is an essential part of a trip; it's where you will find all the top class hotels, shops and restaurants. This avenue may be select but it attracts large numbers of visitors daily; top class hotels are found here, although if you want to stay at a more reasonably priced hotel, they are available outside of the city center.

The world famous Louvre museum is in this city; it contains almost a third of a million exhibits and is in fact one of the biggest art museums in the world. There are enough art exhibits to keep you occupied for more time than your short stay in Paris would allow; the Venus de Milo is displayed here and of course the Mona Lisa. Many well known artists spent years of their lives in Paris; these include Monet and Picasso who very fortunately left some of their work here for all to enjoy.

The famous 19th century edifice built on Napoleons instructions, the Arc de Triomphe, is also in Paris; to honor his generals (and his troops) he had their names inscribed upon it. Although not generally well known, the Arc had an observatory installed after it was constructed to provide views of neighboring areas; it is located in Place Charles de Gaulle where twelve of the city's main avenues start, including Avenue de Champs Elysees.

This city has a huge variety of places to visit, many of these have not even mentioned here; although no trip would be complete without seeing these, they are probably best viewed as part of a guided tour, some of which are actually free. It is fair to say that you won't see everything on a
Paris short stay holiday of two or even three day break; this article has not even discussed the topic of medieval castles and gothic churches which the city has in abundance.

The Eiffel Tower: Paris's Iron Lady and Symbol of Romance

Standing tall amidst the Parisian skyline, the Eiffel Tower, or as the French affectionately call it, "La Tour Eiffel," is more than just an architectural marvel; it's a symbol of love, art, and human ingenuity. Historical Echoes Constructed as the entrance arch for the 1889 World's Fair, which was held in Paris to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, the Eiffel Tower was initially met with skepticism by critics. They doubted its stability and criticized its design. Little did they know that this iron lattice tower, designed by the engineer Gustave Eiffel, would go on to become one of the most recognized structures globally. Architectural Splendor The Eiffel Tower, stretching up to 324 meters (1,063 ft) in height, was the world's tallest man-made structure until the completion of the Chrysler Building in New York in 1930.
