...Paris is an amazingly beautiful city. I recently returned for the third time (on this occassion with my parents in toe). Previous trips have been chilled out events with friends, bar hopping and generally wandering aimlessly through the streets- in itself a worthwhile way to while away the hours.
This time however we did more of your traditional 'tourist' activities, visiting the Eiffel Tower - though not venturing up thankfully Im sure the views are spectacular however I didnt envy those who found themselves at the top of the structure when the thunderstorm ensued!; the Champs Elyeese; the moulin rouge; Arc de Triomphe; Notre Dam and by far the highlight of the trip a tour of the OperaGarnier.
The opera house is absolutely stunning and the enthusiasm and knowledge of the tour guide brought the building to life during our visit...

Advantages: one of the biggest place in Europe, and 99% pedestrian! Disadvantages: none but could be cleaner I guess!
...as Place de L'Oeuf expended dramatically in the past 30 years and you will find countless of restaurants, pizzerias and cafés all with their terraces. You will also find a cinema Gaumont in a beautiful XIX th Century building once own by the famous French Galleries Lafayette!
And sitting right in front you will admire the exquisite Opera Comedie that gave the Place its actual name, built in 1884 by an architect close to Charles Garnier (who made the famous OperaGarnier in Paris) and you will find a great influence in its design!
The Palce comprises now of various places of interest all connected
L'Esplanade Charles de Gaulle, once a car park, is now a huge green space, a real green lung in the town centre with fountains and promenades. There is also a space for children to play. On the side you will find the Musee Fabre, and right at the end...
