Example Accommodation
Feedback (1)Monet's Gardens, Giverny
Home to Claude Monet from 1883 until his death in 1926, Giverny is where Monet produced some of his most celebrated work. It's a half-day excursion from Paris, and a chance, perhaps, to capture something of what inspired him. You can also visit the Marmottan Museum in central Paris.
Rodin Museum
Gathers together the highlights of Rodin's career as a sculptor, including "The Thinker and the Kiss." Some sculptures are displayed in the gardens which makes plenty of scope for sketching.
Eiffel Tower
The instantly recognisable symbol of Paris, The Eiffel Tower can be seen from almost any point in the city and the view from the top is truly awe-inspiring. It dominates Paris to such an extent that it's hard to believe it's only a little over a century old having been built in 1889 to celebrate the centenary of the French revolution. No trip to Paris would be complete without a visit to the Eiff...
Louvre Museum
Housed in France's former royal palace, the Louvre is now one of the finest and most complete art galleries in the world. It’s collections range from the ancient world to the twentieth century, with the Pyramid and CyberLouvre multimedia gallery bringing the collection right up to date. But most visitors are only here to see one thing - The Mona Lisa's Enigmatic smile.
Pompidou Centre
Since 1977, the Pompidou Centre has been France's leading centre for contemporary arts. Artistically and architecturally it is a clean break with Paris' long artistic and cultural traditions and it is home to permanent and temporary exhibitions of contemporary art as well as cinema. Guided tours may be arranged.
Notre-Dame Cathedral
Notre Dame Cathedral is a beautiful Gothic cathedral on the the Île de la Cité. A major tourist destination and one of the most famous cathedrals in the world Notre Dame is also a working Roman Catholic cathedral.

Sacre-Coeur Basilica
Located at the summit of the hill of Montmartre, and surrounded by the houses of this famous bohemian quarter, the white, Romanesque domes and arches of the Basilica of Sacre-Coeur were built in the late nineteenth century by subscriptions from all over France.
Musee D'Orsay
The Musée d’Orsay charts the development of European art between 1848 and 1914, an era when Paris was unquestionably the world’s cultural and artistic capital. Its diverse collection includes works by Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, van Gogh and other artists, many of whom spent much of their artistic careers in Paris. The museum offers a range of guided tours in English, including the Highlights of the M...
Bateaux Mouches
One of the best and most relaxing ways to see the sights of Paris is to take a Seine river boat cruise. Starting at the Pont d'Alma, near the Eiffel tower, your cruise will take you up stream to the Ile de la Cite and Notre Dame Cathedral. Trips last around an hour and depart every 20 minutes at peak times.
Picasso Museum
After his death in 1973, many of Picasso's works went to the French state, which decided to form a museum with the collection. To house it they chose a seventeenth-century hotel situated in the Marais. This is the Hôtel Salé that was built in 1656 for the general Aubert de Fontenay. Before housing the musée Picasso, the hotel was already well-known. It was leased to the ambassador of Venice, and i...
