Paris travel is easy with the compact centre easily navigable on foot, with the efficient and comprehensive Metro system always on hand enables one to ensure one covers most of Paris’ attractions.

The Eiffel Tower, the world’s most recognisable landmark, the Louvre featuring the world’s most celebrated painting, Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Centre Pompidou a fantastic centre of modern art, Musee D’Orsay with the best Impressionist collection in the world and the Arc de Triomphe fantastic views from the top in the centre of ’L’Etoile’ all add up to make your Paris travel experience unforgettable.
