One ​​of my favorite cities I’ve ever seen. It is very difficult to describe Paris, one always feels like a corner is missing.. I love this city so much that every street gives peace to people.. It’s impossible to sit on top of it and not take your breath away from the view, it’s so perfect and inspiring.. Paris, which is seasonless enough to present every day of the year with a different beauty, and timeless enough to make you want to sit in a Parisian cafe and watch the city with coffee, just like the first day you went; It lies in the north of France, right next to the Seine River.

Paris landscapes

Paris, where you will walk on the bridges of the Seine, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list, in a dream that opens up from culture to art, is as realistic as it is romantic with its views that are even more beautiful than you imagined. Although for some it is ‘nothing to exaggerate’, if you know how to travel, it is certain that this place will remain in your heart as a city to which you will save many moments to miss and return to.. I am preparing this series of articles for those who are planning to go to Paris, do preliminary research and want to refresh their memories.. There are so many places to visit that it is impossible to describe in a single article and it is a bit tiring in terms of comfortable reading.. So I split the whole guide into daily plans as if you were going for 4 days. Come on; Let’s visit Paris once again, with its must-see unique corners, indispensable cultural aspects, cafes overflowing the streets, and museums that provide a summary of the city’s culture and art.. Today is the first day in town!

#1. Route of the Day:

 Eiffel Tower, Trocadéro Square, Champs-Elysées Avenue, Arc de Troimphe, Louvre Museum, Les Arts Decoratifs, Tuileries Garden, Concorde Square.

Eiffel Tower by Trocadero

#Eiffel Tower and Trocadéro Square:

Of course, the Eiffel Tower is one of the places to see in Paris. You are right, going here is an extremely touristic move, but if you are coming to the city for the first time, you should not fall behind from the classics.. The construction of the Eiffel Tower, which we know somehow from movies, magazines and books, was completed in 1889, even if we did not go or see it.. There are two floors where you can go up to the 320 meter tall tower and watch Paris.. You can choose one according to your budget and enjoy; However, the most important issue in this topic is to buy your ticket online.. Here is the easiest solution to get in quickly without wasting much time in the tower, which is always overcrowded and a crowd of slanted eyes awaits.. Elevator access to the middle floor is 11 Euros, the majestic top floor is 17. Those who say they can’t give that much can also go to the second floor, which is the middle level, by stairs, which is 7 Euros.. The Eiffel Tower is open to visitors every day, the hours change seasonally.. It opens from 9 a.m. to 00:45 a.m. from mid-June to September, and closes at 9:30 p.m. the rest of the time and closes at 11:45 a.m.

Waffles in the Trocadero

To go up the Eiffel Tower and watch the city, yes, it’s beautiful. Still, my favorite in this area is actually the Trocadéro just across the tower and the Seine River.. The beauty of this place comes from its gardens with its magnificent view of the Eiffel. Actually, this is a hill; Chaillot Palace, behind the point where you come to the point opposite the Eiffel Tower. Although it would be a more accurate definition to say the parts extending to the right and left.. Looking towards the garden of Chaillot from here, watching the Eiffel is probably one of the first activities to do in Paris.. While you’re at it, don’t forget to grab a Nutella waffle or crepe from the central kiosk and say hello to the city for real!

#Champs-Élysées Street:

Plenty to take your photos you will spend a lot of time around the Eiffel as you will spend a lot of time. To continue the rest of the day at another tourist spot, head to Champs-Élysées Street. I say it is 3 times the width of Bagdat Street, you say 5. You can’t really see it up close, but the view from the top is spectacular.. The right and left lanes of the street are so wide that if we were there, we would definitely do TOKİ or something there, it’s such a comfort.

The most famous street in the city, of course; It starts from the Square of Concorde and continues to the Arc de Troimphe, the Arc de Triomphe.. The street, where fast-fashion stores are located in series, is one of the must-see places.. To take a tour of the street and visit Laduree, Disney, and H&M, head towards Montaigne Street, passing the brands that are in the back of everyone’s mind.. Montaigne Street is the address of luxury in the city. One of my favorite places in Paris.. Of course, the Champs-Élysées are not crowded, the calm of luxury life surrounds this place too.. The buildings are very impressive; The stores of Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci and similar scales seem to be more beautiful here.. But the reason why I say you must see this street is actually a hotel.

Plaza Athénée, Avenue Montaigne

Plaza Athénée welcomes you with one of the most beautiful views you can see in the city.. Classic French architecture, red details and flowered mini balconies must be seen during a walk.. If you are going to continue your tour from here, you can proceed towards Alma Square and continue your walk by the Seine River.. You actually know this place, Alma Bridge where Princess Diana died in a car accident. Those who want to take a stroll on the river can prefer the Bateaux-Mouches boats that depart from the immediate vicinity.. The river walls are a bit too high and I think walking around Paris is a better choice.. Don’t worry though, 1-hour tour is 13.50 Euros per person.

From the Champs Elysees to the side streets

#Arc de Troimphe:

At the very end of Champs-Élysées Street Arc de Troimphe, located in Charles de Gaulle Square, is a victory monument built by Napoleon Bonaparte. Now that we know better than our name how many hits Paris got on social media; You can come here to take panoramic city photos that will cheer up your Instagram, pay 12 Euros to go to the top of the monument.. Between April and September, it serves from 10:00 in the morning to 23:30 in the evening.. Open until 22:30 in the remaining months. Click for detailed information.

#Boulevard Hausmann:

When it comes to shopping, the 2.5 kilometer long Hausmann Boulevard should not be overlooked. On the boulevard close to the Champs-Élysées, there are the department stores Galeries Lafayette and Au Printemps, which carry all the glitter of Paris.. I think it will take one day to visit these two, the decision is yours according to your itinerary.. You probably haven’t come across anything like it anywhere else in the world.. Go even for giant architectures alone.

#Louvre Museum:

The other symbol of the city Louvre; It hosts approximately 35,000 works that have played an important role in the history of art from past to present, especially Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting Mona Lisa.. Even just visiting the main points of the museum takes a few hours; must go early. For detailed information, see my post on ‘Paris’ Top 10 Museums’.

Tax-free cosmetics near the Palais Royal – Musee du Louvre metro stop, where you will get off to go to the Louvre. There is a Benlux store where you can buy, and the Carrousel du Louvre, located inside the Louvre, is a shopping center located at a point you never expected.. Even though I don’t like buying gifts from such places, bear in mind.

Louvre Museum

#Les Arts Décoratifs:

While at the Louvre, to Les Arts Decoratifs not without entering. Here; It features temporary exhibitions spanning different styles on the themes of furniture, architecture, fashion, advertising and design.. Here are my reviews of Les Arts Decoratifs. After spending a long time around the Louvre with this gallery, sitting across one of its parallel streets and enjoying a coffee, it’s time to experience one of the famous gardens of Paris!

Garden of Tuileries

#Jardin des Tuileries:

The construction of the Jardin des Tuileries, which opens to the Concorde, the largest square in the city, was completed in 1564 and opened to the public in 1667.. This beautiful garden of the Tuileries Palace may be one of my favorite places in the city.. It’s nice to watch your left and right, to observe what’s going on around you.. Stunning with its pools, wooded areas and lush scenery, the Tuileries Garden is one of the most ideal spots in the city for locals and tourists to experience Paris.. When we are so bored, we all think of going to the poolside of a sunny park and reading a book for hours… Here, that image probably comes from those frames that were taken here and that we have seen and engraved in our memory before.. If you’re a little lucky and there isn’t such a crazy crowd, there’s no better place to relax on the city’s classic green chairs and enjoy the day!

Tuileries Garden

You will see the Orangerie Museum on the left side of the park leading to Concorde Square, and the Jeu de Paume on the right. If your time is limited, you can pass; But let me summarize for those who are curious.. The Orangerie Museum, the building used as a greenhouse in the time of the Tuileries Palace and as a museum today. Claude Monet’s water lilies paintings cover its two main halls, it is announced to those who love the impressionism movement.. On the lower floor of the entrance, besides Monet, Renoir, Gauguin and Cézanne paintings join your tour.. My favorites are always together in Paris! Entrance to the Orangeri is 9 Euros, a joint ticket with the Orsay Museum is 16 Euros. closed on tuesdays. Jeu de Paume is a gallery that presents various contemporary art works with its structure very similar to the Orangerie.. It is a different experience to watch visual arts exhibitions such as photography and video in the area where tennis was played in the past.. Entrance is 10 Euros, closed on Mondays.

Tuileries Garden

#Concorde Square:

This beautiful square of Paris welcomes you at the end of the park, where you leave the Louvre and walk towards the Tuileries Garden.. Concorde, as the country’s second largest square, is the center of attention in the city.. The end of the Tuileries, the beginning of the Champs-Élysées. Of course, as in many parts of Paris, this place fascinates you greatly.. At one end of the huge square, the Eiffel Tower greets you, on the other the beautiful architecture of the city shines.. The Concorde is a square that witnessed the important events of Paris, so much of its historical value comes from this.. The fact that the guillotine executions that took place during the French Revolution were carried out here and that it still witnesses the parades today keeps the square one step ahead.. During your visit, if you are lucky, you may come across one of the world’s largest Ferris wheels, Grande Roue.. Paris skyline tour with Grande Roue is 12 Euros per person and the Ferris wheel is open from 11 November to 15 May.

#Disneyland:

When you say Paris The first place that comes to mind must be Disneyland after Eiffel! Some call it a theme park created for children, but how many children around you were able to see Disneyland when they were little? So I think Disneyland is for everyone.. No matter what your age is, it is impossible to leave this fairy tale world full of Disney characters without having fun or leaving unhappy.. Of course, it is a little troublesome and costly to come; however, if you have been to Paris for even 3 days, you should definitely spare 1 day here by trying to compress your tour of the city into 2 days.. I will publish my article with more details for Disneyland in a few days, but as someone who has been here twice before, I have to say that the money you give here is totally worth it.. Disneyland; makes children smile with 32 teeth, and takes adults to their childhood. Buying tickets is a bit tricky, stay tuned for how to get tickets!
