| Paris at night! |
With short and long holidays popping out of the routine
schedule these days, time to have a look at wonderful place for a trip! Paris it is!
Technically too far from Cologne (more than 480 km!) but
easily reachable in 8 hours by bus! Here’s a list of places to see in Paris, apart
from the inevitable Eiffel tower J

| Arc de Triomphe in the evening |
Paris, as they say, is the center of culture and beauty.
From perfumes to a history at every turn on road, Paris is full of exciting
places. Starting with the famous Arc de Triomphe, built in 18th
century to honor soldiers who died in the French revolutionary and Napoleonic
wars. In the evening it is a sight to see! Surrounded by ambient yellow light, stands
this grand structure right in the middle of two busy lanes.
next on list is the well known Louvre museum. It is certainly a must visit
place for art lovers. One of the biggest museums in world, attracting more
than 15000 people each day! Although it does take a while to completely see the
museum housing 35,000 objects of art!
Next on itinerary could be Moulin rouge. This 18th
century cabaret is believed to be the birth place of can-can dance. It is
marked by a red windmill on roof and gives a sublime dance entertainment for
its visitors.
Another worth while visit in Paris is Champs Elysees. It is the most talked about street when it comes
to the expensive streets in world! Famous for its luxury specialty shops and
clipped horse-chestnut trees, it definitely can’t be missed! There are several other places to see, such as Montmartre, Invalides,
Versailles, etc. and the list is pretty long. While you can discover different cultural and political aspects in Paris, resting cafes with generously special food delights are quite welcoming and plenty in the city.
Worth mentioning here is a South Indian restaurant, called ‘Sarvana Bhavan’. Its food is famous across continents (Germany, India, US, Singapore, Bahrain, Malaysia, UK, etc.) and it is must visit restaurant especially if one likes Indian food. Although
one might have to encounter short waiting periods during evenings on weekends,
but personally I think the food there, it is worth waiting for
