More often than not, our travels abroad start with a search for a carefree holiday, when you can worry about nothing on the sand. More active prefer to enjoy the underwater world of the southern seas, scuba diving. There are also lovers of winter recreation, who tirelessly plow the snowy slopes of the mountains. But this foreign country gets bored fast, and the question arises - where to look for something interesting?

Paris! That's where millions of tourists from all over the world go!

See in the world capital of perfume, fashion and love is on that. But it is better to do this according to the plan: you can not bypass everything, so it will be less the next time. In the fact that Paris will not let you go, you can rest assured.

So, you are in the capital of France .Start your visit with a tour of the city on the open bus Open Tour .This is one of three companies that organize city tours on buses .Let it not be the cheapest, but it has 4 routes and a lot of stops .You can go to any of them, get acquainted with the landmark and take the next bus, they often go .If you buy a ticket for two days (the price is only 3 euros more than one), then on the first day you can simply drive on all four routes past all the sights of Paris, which you will be told by an audio guide in Russian .Headphones and a map with routes and stops can be borrowed from the driver for free (until they run out) .

On the second day, you can use the Open Tour bus as public transport .One of the routes starts at Grand Opera Square .Sit on the green "branch" and a couple of stops you have at the Louvre .You can go out, admire the royal palace, throw a coin in the fountain, capturing this moment in the photo .On an excursion to the Louvre, it is better to take at least half a day, so continue the trip along the green route .The next stop is Notre Dame and the Cité Island..Look at the cathedral from the inside, admire the stained glass windows (they are gorgeous!), Climb to the observation platform, take some photos on the background of the panorama of Paris, and then take the next bus Open Tour .

You can make a stop and wander through the streets of the Latin Quarter. Many writers and poets here drew their inspiration. Here is the oldest cafe not only of Paris, but of the world! Cafe "Prokop" has been working since 1686, and many historical figures were his visitors.

If you have time, you'll still walk along the Champs-Elysees, but for now, take a look at them from the second floor of the bus. The Arc de Triomphe has a stop. Stand at the Eternal Flame, climb the Arch, another beautiful view of Paris opens from a height of 50 m.

It will not take long to wait for the next bus, and now you are on the Trocadero. Hence Marshal Foch looks from the pedestal to the Eiffel Tower. Look and you: they say, this is the best view of the Parisian beauty. Who does not have photos of himself from here!

Having bought a ticket and having defended the queue, you can take off on an elevator to the top of the tower. From here all Paris, as in the palm of your hand. It is better to climb the tower after a bus acquaintance with the city, then you can easily navigate and recognize "familiar" places.

Then the route passes by the House of the Disabled, where the Army Museum and the tomb of Napoleon are located. From there, on the most beautiful bridge of Paris, the Alexander III bridge, you return to the Concorde Square.

Photographed at the fountains and at the Luxor obelisk, you can walk on foot to the church of St. Magdalene, then, turning onto the Boulevard Capuchinok, reach the Grand Opera. And you can again get on the bus and look around carefully: you will pass by the Fragonard perfume museum. On the Opera Square you can change to another route and continue your acquaintance with Paris. This can be done at some other stops, the routes intersect several times.

Another three routes pass through Montmartre, the Latin Quarter and the Place de la Bastille. Total more than 50 stops.

Slightly cheaper buses Cars Rouges, but they have only 9 stops and a two-hour trip around the city. Foxity offers even less - 1, 5 hours and 4 stops in the city.

Enjoying trips, you need to get to know the city closer. Now we must pay tribute to the museums of Paris: the Louvre Museum, the Orsay Museum, the Picasso Museums, Dali, Rodin, the Carnavale Museum (the history of Paris), the museums of modern and primitive art ... What not! There are even the Catacombs of Paris, the Museum of Eroticism (which is Paris without it) and the sewage museum. Everyone will find to your taste.

Only it is necessary to allocate a little time for drawing up of the list of desirable places of visiting, with instructions of the schedule of their work, a way to reach and order of visiting. Do it still at home, not to rush around Paris from end to end, coming to closed doors.

Rest between museums, you can in a cafe, it's better a bit away from the tourist trail. Passing through the streets, you can see the menu on the street, written in chalk. Being guided by the prices, it is possible to have a good dinner for a little money. If you learn before the trip, or at least write down your name, some dishes, you will greatly facilitate the process of digestion. You do not have to think about what to do with the raw minced meat that you ordered, tapping your finger at the word, so similar to the "steak".

Enjoying afternoon coffee, a quiet pace all seen tourist, stroll through the streets and boulevards of the city .Pay attention, there is not a single building without forged lattices: each balcony must have a fencing grid, no bricks! And it does not matter what it is: a tiny balcony or a balcony for the entire length of the house, the gate to the courtyard or the fence on the roof .All of them are different, in some incomprehensible way in harmony with each other, with small windows of attics and with oval roofs, create an attractive image of Paris .If there are no lattices, you are not in Paris!

Sneakly watch the gait of French women. Do not pay attention to their shoes, you would not wear such, especially in Paris. But even small girls do not go, they "walk" on the pavement, as on the podium. When you return to the trail of tourists, try to determine the nationality of pedestrians on the gait - an exciting lesson.

The evening in Paris comes quickly. We still have so much time, but it's time to the hotel. Be sure to go to the store, buy wine and cheese for dinner. Conveniently sitting on the balcony (if there is one), listen to the night Paris, admire its lights. If you have a room with a view of the Eiffel Tower - an unforgettable sight.

Do not be surprised if the scavengers wake you up in the morning. They get up before others, envy, probably, to those who sleep. Therefore, rumble containers for garbage.

Fresh baguette and croissants for breakfast (by no means buy in the evening in the stock!) Will finally make you Parisians. Now you do not even need to look for the reason you want to go to Paris again.

Want a hint? Even in the city there are many interesting places. Area Défense, cemeteries and parks of Paris. And stores? You forgot about the purchases!

And if you use a suburban "train" or a bus, you can visit Disneyland, the Russian cemetery of Saint Genevieve de Bois, Versailles. And you can buy a ticket for a high-speed train, which for 3 hours will drive you to Amsterdam or Brussels. Why not? For comparison with Paris!

But for your second trip, of course, your route will be outlined. But he will start in Paris!
