The challenge is beauty
Paris and the banks droite
"There are only two places in the world where we can live happily: at home and in Paris" (E. Hemingway)
Rive Droite or Rive Gauche? In Paris, the challenge is beauty. That is the one in which you come across by choosing to immerse yourself in endless walks on one side of the river or on the other side of the Seine.
That's why we suggest you take a pen and paper immediately and check the places and monuments that make you dream one after the other when you think of Paris all strictly on the right bank.
WHAT SEE
Unfailing, at the Opera de Paris . Symbol for decades of the artistic grandeur of the French capital, the Opera still remains a great appointment with the taste and elegance à la française that everyone, especially if at the first visit in Paris, should absolutely take into account.
Then there is the Marais, the Jewish and cultural quarter of the French capital . In addition to the symbol of shopping for Parisians of all generations. Not to mention the beauty of its urban views and its enchanting squares dating back to 1200. An example above all: Place de Vosges.
Speaking of Rive Droite, then, how not to mention Montmartre . The most famous butte (hill) of Paris for having been for many years the district of the most important artists of the world is, as they say, a show in the spectacle of the Ville Lumière.
- Louvre is a ritual that can not be avoided ! The Louvre, the "museum of museums" is here, along with the very delicate Jardins des Tuileries.
- The Trocadéro is an interesting attraction both because of its particular shape that makes it look like a large monumental complex consisting of the Palais de Chaillot, both for its privileged position, a few hundred meters from the Eiffel Tower, which you can see looking beyond the Seine in an enchanting urban setting.
