A low cost holiday in Paris, a weekend of savings but without deprivation. I recommend for a stay in France or to dream of visiting the French city in the company of your better half.
If laziness has taken over and the desire to organize yours journey it's little, think about how many reasons it offers you Paris to break the routine and experience an unforgettable weekend.
It is true, it would be better to spend at least a whole week there to dedicate the right amount of time and the right attention to the many corners that make up the beauty of the French capital, but also two or three days will give you images and sensations to be jealously preserved.
Not convinced? Imagine climbing to the top of the Torre Eiffel when the darkness of the evening has already fallen and the city is a chase of lights. Not yet? So, try to see the most famous and the most fascinating gothic cathedral in the world, Our Lady, on the Île de la Cité, the island that hosts it and that divides the right and left banks of the city.
And then board a boat and slide slowly along the Senna, the river portrayed in its thousands of colors, reflections and oscillations by the impressionist painters. And, why not, reach the square in your imagination Charles-de-Gaulle, cross the imposing Arc de Triomphe and enter the elegance of the Champs-Élysées, stopping in front of its luxurious shops and cafes.
Well, laziness is now only a memory and, probably, you are already thinking about booking a hotel in Paris and what to pack. Comfortable shoes, first of all, because you will have a long way to go. Starting with the corridors and rooms of the Louvre and D'Orsay Museum.
The Louvre is the first museum in the world by number of visitors, almost 9 million every year: housed in a palace built during the Capetians, it presents some of the most famous works in the history of art, such as the Mona Lisa and the Virgin of the Rocks by Leonardo da Vinci, and collections of infinite importance such as the Greek and Egyptian sections.
The D'Orsay Museum, on the other hand, was built in a magical place, the old one d'Orsay station, and preserves paintings by famous impressionists and post-impressionists, works after the second half of the nineteenth century and works by famous sculptors, architects and photographers.
Finally, rest from the efforts in the many cafes and clubs in the liveliest districts of the city, such as Latin neighborhood, frequented by university professors and myriads of students, and the Marais, which is full of small shops, elegant buildings and restaurants and is embellished with one of the most evocative squares of Paris, the place des Vosges.
Did Paris make you fall in love for a weekend but you don't want to leave and are you already dreaming of a romantic holiday? Do you dream of seeing all the museums you missed in a weekend and want to start planning another stay as soon as possible - or at least dream it? I recommend ours mini guide of Paris to start fantasizing about where to eat your baguettes, where to walk hand in hand and where to eat the typical dishes of French cuisine without spending a fortune.
