It is impossible to ignore the charm of Paris, the beautiful French capital and tourist destination visited by millions of people every year. The City of Light, as it is known, is vibrant, charming, romantic, fun and the cradle of culture and art. She has an endless list of qualities. When you get there, you'll discover that some clichés actually make sense. The city is a great center, full of opportunities for people of all ages and tastes, with breathtaking landscapes, world-famous postcards and much more.

Along the way through the neighborhoods you will find shops offering a little bit of everything, the famous boulangeries (bakeries) with their fresh croissants and wonderful pastries, and cafes and bistros serving a variety of French culinary delights. The local language is French, but English is a very common language, especially in tourist areas. And despite their reputation for being ill-tempered and rude, the French manage to pleasantly surprise visitors with their hospitality. The tip is to be completely disarmed in relation to certain clichés and enjoy your stay in this charming city that you will probably want to come back to again and again! 

In this article, we will show you tourist places in beautiful Paris, as well as tickets, airlines and how to plan a trip.

How to get tickets to Paris?

Daily flights depart from the main Brazilian capitals to Charles de Gaulle International Airport, located approximately 20 kilometers (northeast) of Paris. However, those looking for direct flights have two options: Airfrance/KLM and TAM. The two companies offer direct flights to the French capital from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo airports, with an average travel time of 11 hours. Passengers already in Europe can take advantage of low-cost offers from low-cost airlines, as announced by Easy Jet and Ryanair. However, most charter or domestic flights land at Orly Airport. Charles de Gaulle and Orly are connected by buses that run regularly.

The train is an excellent means of transport for those already in Europe. Paris has several train stations grouped in the city's first 15 arrondissements, including (and perhaps the most famous) Gare du Nord, which is in the central region of the capital. Trains arrive (and run) from England (London), Belgium (Brussels), Holland (Amsterdam), Germany (Berlin), among others. 

An alternative for those already in Europe, however, it is good to know that Paris is a city with heavy traffic, which causes congestion, especially during rush hour. Traveling around the city by car may not be a good option, also due to the prices charged for parking. The roads that reach the French capital are very well maintained and have an excellent structure.

Places to visit in Paris 

The City of Light never ceases to surprise, whether the visitor is a local (frequent traveler) or a newcomer to the French capital. A metropolis full of opportunities for all types of audiences, rich in history and culture, lively neighborhoods, world-famous postcards, good restaurants, shopping centers and much more. Now that you know how to buy tickets and plan your trip, we'll show you some of the wonderful places to visit in Paris.

The beautiful building, which welcomes 7.5 million people every year, can be seen from different corners of the city, from angles that seem to make it even more charming. There, visitors have access to the floors where they can enjoy one of the best views of Paris during the day and at night (when there is a light show). Furthermore, cafes and restaurants, such as the famous Le Jules Verne, as well as souvenir shops are located within the monument. Just note the long queues that tend to form there, especially in high season. 

In Paris you will find one of the most important and famous museums in the world: the Louvre. There are more than 30,000 treasures including paintings, sculptures, engravings and various objects gathered in one place. Experiencing all of this up close would certainly take many days; The good news is that the Louvre maintains an up-to-date website that can help visitors pre-select the museum's attractions, a veritable labyrinth of galleries, passages and staircases.

Very close to the Louvre Museum, more precisely on Place du Louvre, this church has beautiful architecture (mainly Gothic) and houses several works of art inside. The site, which became a royal church in the 14th century shortly after the kings moved to the Louvre, features 16th-century stained glass and 17th-century marble. The organ was originally given to Sainte-Chapelle as a gift from King Louis XVI, but moved to the church of Saint-Germain Lauxerrois during the Revolution.

To get to this exit outside the City of Lights, just take the RER, the same one that takes you to Disneyland in Paris. Located at the exit of a huge shopping center, Val dEurope, La Vallée brings together stores from several famous brands, including Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Guess, Diesel, Armani, Red Valentino, Timberland, among others. There you will find prices much lower than in the same stores in Paris.
