Guide to Paris Hotels and Attractions

Paris is considered the world capital of romance, and has its mix of popular romance writers and artists. The river Seine splits Paris into two sections, the Rive Droite and the Rive Gauche. If you travel along the Seine in France you will see 18th century Palaces and you will also notice the massive Eiffel Tower in the backdrop of the city. The uniqueness of Paris is what creates the curiosity of travel goers. Paris has many different cultural districts and is very diverse. We suggest you check out the many different museums located in Paris as they are very informative and intriguing.
 

If you have the time, it is well worth the less than 2 hour trip to see this medieval wonder of stained glass and iron sculpture. The Cathedral at Chartres contains some of the oldest surviving and most beautiful stained glass in the world, much of it dating back to the 1100s. There is so much to see here that one should allow at least a full day for the adventure. Sundays are especially popular because of the free afternoon organ concerts.
 

Despite its American roots, Disneyland Paris is the paradigm of European amusement parks. This 5,000 acre resort, one-fifth the size of Paris itself, is just 20 miles to the east from downtown Paris, and if you start early and allow yourself a full day, you can see a good bit of it. Your concierge can help you select from a variety of public transportation and hotel shuttle alternatives, or if you prefer, you can enjoy one of the excellent theme hotels right at the resort.
 

For years the tallest structure in the world, this engineering marvel affords a view of over 40 miles, weather permitting, and includes a movie theatre, restaurants and a bar. Built originally in 1899 as a temporary exhibition structure, the Eiffel Tower remained when Paris discovered its utility as a city-wide communications tower.
