Enormous and filled with irreplaceable treasures from around the world, this premier series of exhibits offers something for everyone. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/paris/la-ville-lumiere-4558.html Paris Fri, 02 May 2008 16:52:00 +0200 Translated from the French, the title means 'City of Lights'. By now a commonplace description, there's nothing commonplace about the place. Paris, for those who love... well, anything, is stellar. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/paris/montmartre-4667.html Paris Fri, 02 May 2008 16:50:00 +0200 Montmartre is a fascinating mixture of old and new, seedy and sacred, bizarre and blasé. Within this section of Paris, technically the 18th arrondissement, there is everything from Moulin Rouge and Musée d'Erotisme to the Sacré Coeur Basilica. There are several art shops, a Dali museum and even a winery. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/paris/sacre-coeur-4666.html Paris Fri, 02 May 2008 16:49:00 +0200 The site of Sacré Coeur has long been an attraction for religious figures and groups. Though dedicated to peace and brotherhood, the building owes its birth on the site to the misfortunes of war and violence. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/paris/the-eiffel-tower-4455.html Paris Fri, 02 May 2008 16:48:00 +0200 Originally intended as a structure to commemorate the French Revolution, who could've guessed that 100 years later The Eiffel Tower would become the symbol of Paris itself? http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/paris/disneyland-paris-4555.html Paris Fri, 02 May 2008 16:46:00 +0200 Affectionately known as DLP by Mouseketeers the world over, Disneyland Paris is a cornucopia of rides, restaurants, exhibits and all out fun for everyone. And in the last few years the fun has been doubled as Disney added the Walt Disney Studios park to an already jam packed adventure. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/paris/champs-elysees-4444.html Paris Fri, 02 May 2008 16:45:00 +0200 Not merely a boulevard, the Champs-Elysées has justly earned its name. In Greek mythology, the Elysian Fields was the resting place of heroes who dwelt in perfect happiness. Fortunately, visitors don't have to die to reach it. Though you may think so after making your way through the French airports and into Paris. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/paris/arc-de-triomphe-4788.html Paris Fri, 02 May 2008 16:43:00 +0200 Though less artistic than its older cousin of Porte Saint-Denis, the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile is the more famous and far larger. Set atop the hill of Chaillot it forms the center from which radiates a dozen busy Parisian avenues. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/paris/versailles-4777.html Paris Fri, 02 May 2008 16:42:00 +0200 As you approach the gates of Versailles you inescapably have the feeling of entering not a palace but an entire city. The impression is justified given the massive scale of the building and the even larger grounds. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/paris/the-seine-river-4666.html Paris Fri, 02 May 2008 16:40:00 +0200 Whether seen by a long, leisurely walk or from one of the many excellent tour boats, the view along the Seine in Paris is a delight.
