Travel notes

Hello after a long break 🙂 If you have limited time and want a quick look around Paris without going into great detail, I recommend starting with the major sights—especially if you only have two or three days. Once you see the queues outside famous churches and museums, you may well keep walking! Two hours waiting and another two exploring can swallow a day. Use Google Maps to visit the places listed here step by step. On a later, longer trip, take your time with the museums and historic sites of this city steeped in art and history. Whether before or after this list is up to you, but don't leave without reading my more detailed Paris trip post, linked in the original article. Thank you in advance, and happy reading 🙂

No Paris visit is complete without tasting French cuisine. Try at least one French meal, and be sure to sip a coffee at a café on a Parisian street 🙂
