about PARIS...









This is about Paris, why I tell you this information? Because one day I would like to go there. I think is one of the most attractive places to visit, it’s one of my dreams, don’t you want to go there? I’m wrong? Well let to see some information about places that you can go maybe in 3 years more …

Well, first let make sure you have a list of the "obvious" places. Those would be, in addition to the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, the Arc de Triomphe, The Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, Centre Pompidou, Place des Vosges, Cluny Museum, Luxembourg Gardens, Place de la Bastille, Place de la Concorde, Montmartre, Moulin Rouge, the Sewers of Paris and the Catacombs, etc.Some lesser visited places are:
1-Musée des Plans-Relief
An overlooked museum that is housed over the Army Museum on the Esplanade des Invalides. For years this place was just a garret filled with models of the various fortifications and walled towns in France. Prior to 1950 the public was not admitted since some of information that could gleaned from the models was considered a state secret. The collection of models was started by Louis XIV. The oldest model, representing the town of Perpignan, dates back to 1866.

2-Arena Lutetia on thrue Monge
These are the remains of a Roman arena destroyed in the 3rd century. Completely forgotten during 1500 years they were rediscovered in 1869, when new streets were planned and diggings ordered. It was one of the largest amphitheatres of Gaul and could accomdate at least 15,000 spectators.

3-La Maison du Haut-Pignon
This is the oldest house in Paris. It was built in 1407 by the writer and alchemist Nicolas Flamel. Look at the façade and see the inscription: "Ora et labora" (pray and work), which was the motto of the alchemists.
4-Cimetiere de Picpus
This is the burial place of the Marquis de Lafayette which can be found at 35, rue de Picpus. The only way into the cemetary is through an unmarked door in a larger, perpetually-closed gateway. You have to ring the doorbell and turn to the right after you pass through the door and find the entry 'official' who takes your entry fee.

Those are so few places that you can visit ,without doubt they have a impressive design that you can admire and enjoy the tour.
