1. Notre Dame Cathedral (Cathedrale de Notre Dame de Paris)
Notre Dame Cathedral (Cathedrale de Notre Dame de Paris), Paris, Ile-de-France
This is the most moved I have ever been. What an experience. The sounds and smells and light inside the cathedral are spiritual. Light a candle for someone, it is worth the contribution you pay.
2. Musee du Louvre
Musee du Louvre, Paris, Ile-de-France
I love this place!! I spent a whole day at the Louvre and still didn't see all I wanted to see. I especially loved the Sculptures Hall. The building is beautiful and well laid out. The gift shops are nice and have a good selection and the restaurants are nice.
3. Musee National du Moyen Age-Thermes et Hotel de Cluny
Musee National du Moyen Age-Thermes et Hotel de Cluny, Paris, Ile-de-France
A trove of treasures. The famous Unicorn Tapestries are here. This was a great experience and is not to be missed.
4. Versailles
Versailles, Ile-de-France
Amazing is the only word to describe. From the moment you step off the train and begin the short walk to the grounds, you are amazed and surrounded by opulence. Everything is on a grand scale and definately fit for a king! The outdoor gardens are spectacular with many little coves to discover. The chocolate ice cream pops are great!! Enjoy just "being" by sitting on a bench and watching the people and the world go by. Don't skip this one!
5. Luxembourg Gardens (Jardin du Luxembourg)
Luxembourg Gardens (Jardin du Luxembourg), Paris, Ile-de-France
A place to relax in France. Enjoy the beautiful flowers and people watching.
6. Sainte-Chapelle
Sainte-Chapelle, Paris, Ile-de-France
Another beautiful cathedral, although not as spiritual and moving as Notre Dame, still very impressive. Large display of stained glass is beautiful. Try to go when it is bright outside so the glass really shows up. It was very crowded when I went close to closing in the middle of a week.
