The Hôtel Ritz, Paris, France

The Hôtel Ritz is a hotel located at 15 Place Vendôme, in the heart of Paris, France.

Tradition, prestige, and a legendary past set the Ritz Paris apart from other palace hotels. In 1898, Cesar Ritz created an exclusive luxury hotel where comfort, gastronomy, and service were accorded the highest priority. Located on the beautiful Place Vendome, the Ritz is in the heart of Paris, within walking distance to many historical monuments and fashionable shopping areas. Among the elegantly appointed rooms and suites are ten renowned specialty suites, including the Coco Chanel, Windsor, and Imperial.

Opera National de Paris
Opera is the monumental opera house of Paris. It's located just a few hunderds meters north of the Louvre Museum.
It is one of the most famous opera in the world!

Buttes Chaumont
Paris is a number one destination, but few people would go there to see natural beauty. Still, Paris has a waterfall that is almost as high as Niagara fall!
The Park Buttes-Chaumont in the North-East of Paris is the unusual destination where you can find this waterfall. It is s delightful change from the monuments, museums and the endless shopping Paris lures its visitors with.
The park was a refuse dump for centuries and it had an evil reputation. In the nineteenth century it was transformed by Napoleon the third into a fantasy park, a sort of Disneyland avant la.

Sorbonne
The Sorbonne is the most famous university of Paris. This is not a museum, allthough it is a very beautiful building, but the atmosphere with all the students is nice, especially on a summer day.

Place de la Concorde
The Place de la Concorde, the biggest place of Paris, has a nasty background. In the black days of the French Revolution this is where they put the guillotins to behead the opponents of the Revolution. Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette, Danton, Robespierre, and 2800 others were killed here between 1793 and 1795.
The new name Place de la Concorde was established to symbolize the end of a troubled era and the hope of a better future. Today it is a very pretty place, a nice example of French city architecture. The Place stands between the Tuileries gardens and the Champs.

Tuileries
The Jardin des Tuileries is a very nice park between and near the Louvre. The park is quite stately and very French. Hardly any grass to lay in but perfect peranque courts, and... culture. By strolling around you will find lots of sculptures made by famous artists such as Aristide Maillol and others.

Jardin du Luxembourg

The Jardin du Luxembourg is a large and sumptuous park that is a "must" to visit at any time. With its statuary, benches, and formal gravel paths, this is the quintessential Paris park. Right in the middle of this park, the italianate-style Palais du Luxembourg has served many functions in its long existence. Today, it houses the French Senate. When in the park, don't miss the Fontaine des Médicics.
Just outside the park, you will find the Saint Sulpices church of God. This classical building has mural paintings by the French.

Avenue des Champs-Elysees
Probably the most famous street in Paris. The avenue runs for 2 kilometres (1.25 miles) through the 8th arrondissement in northwestern Paris, from the Place de la Concorde in the east, with its obelisk, to the Place Charles de Gaulle (formerly the Place de l'Étoile) in the west, location of the Arc de Triomphe. The Champs-Élysées forms part of the Axe historique. One of the principal tourist destinations in Paris, the lower part of the Champs-Élysées is bordered by greenery (Marigny Square) and by buildings such as the Théâtre Marigny and the Grand Palais (containing the Palais de la Découverte). The Elysée Palace is a little bit to the north, but not on the avenue itself. Further to the west, the avenue is lined with cinemas, cafés and restaurants (most notably Fouquet's), and luxury specialty shops.
