Paris the capital of FranceOur visit to Paris to see as much as possible in a short timeLocal Attractions in Paris The Eiffle Tower
The most recognisable symbol of Paris is the 324 metre (1,063 ft) Eiffel tower on the banks of the Seine. You can go to the top in the lift, big queues at peak times. The view of Paris is well worth the wait . The view from the observation platform, especially at dusk, more than exceeds any expectations. All of Paris shines below as the city is illuminated by both the onset of electric lights and the fading sun.
The Métro was opened on 19 July 1900 The system has 199 km (124 miles) of
track It is one of the best ways to get around Paris.

A street in Paris
Paris has one of the best antique markets in Europe just on the outskirts at Les Puces de Saint-Ouen Address: 48, rue Jules Vallès (Marché des Antiquaires), 93400 Saint-Ouen (between the Porte de St-Ouen and Porte de Clignancourt, just outside 18th arrondissement) This is on every weekend and attracts large crowds. It is the largest market I have been to the area is full of stalls and shops selling antiques and bric-a-brac.
