Iconic Paris

Paris, in northern France, is situated on the Seine River. By the late 12th century Paris had become a walled cathedral city that was one of Europe's foremost centers of learning and the arts and the largest city in the Western world until the turn of the 18th century.

A cruise on the Seine River is a memorable cruise, which provides many spots for iconic pictures.

                                    Notre Dame Cathedral



                                            Eiffel Tower

      The Louvre is one of the world's largest museums and a historic monument.





              Across from Moulin Rouge, you can take this train to Montmartre

Montmartre is a hill in north Paris, primarily known for the white-domed Basilica of the Sacre Coeur (below) and as artists area. Many of them had studios or worked around the community such as Salvador Dali, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh and more. If you're into paintings, that's a good place to get a one.
