Paris: world’s fashion and cultural pivot Mecca
Paris-
the world’s cultural pivot and fashion Mecca.
Who wouldn’t want to visit the enticing capital of France at least once in a lifetime?
Getting away from the Charles de Gaulle International Airport on arrival may
not be as easy as it sounds as the terminals are all spread out. If you have booked your accommodation in one of the luxury hotels in the arondissement, so much the better for you. This simply means that you can get by to sites like the Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysees, and Musee Louvre et al rather easily. If you happen to be on business with sights set on some after-work leisure travel, we recommend the Normandy Hotel which has a conference centre and a business centre as well as six conference rooms of varying sizes. But if you are in the mood for some history and culture along with tradition, we strongly advocate the Edouard VII Opera which is bang next to the Parisian Opera. It is also one of the few hotels in Paris that accepts pets.
These are just instances of good, comfortable accommodation. Paris is a beautiful city with lofty cultural values apart from being the hub of European chic. Getting around is easy. You can take a cab and drive to various spots, although we might as well warn you that French traffic is pretty unruly with pedestrians – especially – showing little concern for traffic rules.
If you are living in one of the Paris luxury hotels in
the arrondissement you might consider taking a walk around. There’s plenty to
do and see even as you take a stroll beside the Seine
down to the imposing cathedral of Notre Dame with its filigreed portals,
doorways, not to mention sculptures, nave and the organ. Right next to it is
the a la mode Pompidou Centre and the
Arc de Triomphe. Other cultural centre-pieces are
the Musee Louvre which houses the famous Mona Lisa among other masterpieces and
the Musee D’Orsay which houses its impressive Rodin collection. The sophistication of Le Paris doesn’t end with its magnificent history and culture. The city is also home to one of the world’s best-known universities- the Sorbonne. But if you wish to get into the very soul, the skin of the city, we suggest you stop by at the cafes known for informed exchanges between artistes of various genres, take tour buses around the city, try French café au lait at food stands, speak to the artists sketching away furiously beside the Seine… in short live it up a la Paris! We also recommend that you take the
subway train or TGV (pronounced as ‘Tay Jhay Vay’) at once a day to travel to
suburban Paris
and enjoy the various sights and sounds of the city. And if you are traveling
out, say to London or within continental Europe we suggest you don’t catch the flight out Article Tags: Cultural Pivot Source: Free Articles from ArticlesFactory.com
