Impossible to miss, the Eiffel Tower<\/strong>, originally intended as a temporary structure built for the 1889 Paris Exhibition, dominates the Parisian skyline and gives a unique view of the city from its top. For those seeking fine dining destinations, there is the glamorous Le Meurice<\/strong> in the heart of Paris. Here classic French dishes based on the recipes of the master chef Escoffier are brought bang up to date, and are given a modern twist in opulent surroundings. Alternatively, there is the L’Astrance<\/strong> with its very modern menu. Booking is essential at these and most other fine dining Parisian restaurants, and for those lucky enough to secure a table, be prepared for a hefty check at the end of the dinner. Fine dining doesn’t come cheap in Paris.

\nIf art is your thing, Paris is home to two of the most famous art museums in France, the Louvre<\/strong> and the Musee d\u2019Orsay<\/strong>. The Louvre, keeper of Da Vinci\u2019s most famous painting, the Mona Lisa, is mainly devoted to art from the Middle Ages through to the mid-nineteenth century. The Musee d\u2019Orsay takes over where the Louvre leaves off, with an unsurpassed collection of Impressionist paintings, and a notable Van Gogh gallery<\/strong>.
\nFor remarkable religious architecture, there is the Basilique du Sacre-Coeur<\/strong>, perched high on a hill, offering a panoramic view of Paris. Notre Dame<\/strong>, a world famous structure of Gothic design, sits at Paris\u2019s center.<\/p>\nCuisine<\/h2>\n
\nFor those with smaller budgets, there are plenty of other eateries. As originators of street caf\u00e9 culture, Paris has plenty of coffee shops sitting prettily behind their pavement tables to satisfy even the most exacting of coffee connoisseurs. Patisseries offer a sumptuous array of deliciously delightful pastries and cakes, while charcuteries hold a wide range of cold meats to go with the famous freshly-baked baguettes from Parisian bakers.
