What to Do in Paris in Spring

Paris is the city of love, and spring is a nice time to visit this beautiful city. The winter is gone and we see all the beautiful flowers and the beauty of the nature. It is a nice time for walking along the Champs Elysee from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, even if you see the clouds and some raindrops are falling.

The Eiffel Tower is a monument you surely need to visit in this period of the year. This tower has a height of 300m and is build by Gustavo Eiffel in 1889. If you go to the top you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire city of Paris. These sights are so wonderful during springtime. There is more chance of clear weather and excellent for some great shots with your camera.

A boat trip on the River Seine can't be missed. During this trip a guide will explain some interesting facts about all the beautiful building you will see. It is preferable to do this trip in the afternoon because it can be chilly in the afternoon, especially in early spring. If you have luck and the opportunity to make this trip during a hot day; it is more likely to choose for an evening boat trip. All the buildings are lightening and Paris looks really amazing when it is dark. Really romantic and deserves its name: the city of Love!

Walking to Montmartre is really great this time of year. It is a climb to the top which requires a good condition. When you are unable to make this walk, you can take the Montmartre "petit train" or the Montmartre Bus which drives you to the Montmartre district. Probably you will first visit "Place du Tertre" which can be called the heart of Montmartre. Many painters are settled there and will probably propose to paint your portrait. It is a beautiful place where you can view beautiful paintings and maybe you will find one you want to buy. From there you wan walk to the white Sacre Coeur Basilica This holy place is well known worldwide and build at the top of Montmartre. Personally; it is my favorite place in Paris.
