We had freshly brewed coffee and croissants for breakfast, then a stroll taking in the many historic buildings and museums. We walked the Champs-Elysées, eating ice cream, and I remember thinking....
Our visit to Disneyland Paris was the icing on the cake. Ideally you should allow a few days here to see everything. It's within easy reach of the city (a forty minute train ride) so that makes it easy. An adventure not to be missed.
My personal top five Paris attractions. Photographs and short descriptions of The Eiffel Tower, The Arc de Triomphe, The Louvre Museum, The Sacré Coeur Basilica and The Notre Dame Cathedral.
