Travel with pets: Paris

Paris, the City of Lights, capital of France and, no doubt, a synonym of love and romanticism, has so many things to see, enjoy and experience that it is quite difficult to decide how and where to start living it. Museums and theatres, parks, woods and gardens, heritage and sights and the charming Siene are there to fulfill all expectactions.

Whenever someone speaks about museums and France a name is pronounced: Musée du Louvre, open since 1793, it is Paris' largest museum and the world’s most frequented art museum. It is situated in what once was a royal palace. Among the countless masterpieces it houses we can mention "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci, Delacroix’s "Freedom Guiding the People" and the "Oath of the Horatii" the famous oil on canvas painted by Jacques-Louis David.

Paris is magic, you can travel back in time along its streets. By visiting the Arènes de Lutèce you will find yourself in Roman times or in the Middle Ages, if you go to the Musée de Cluny. Then come back to our days and walk along the rue des Ecoles to the Sorbonne, the oldest university in Europe.

You can not miss the chance of enjoying a coffee at the Champs-Elysées before visiting the Eiffel Tower. From the top of the Tower, you will be able to enjoy a wonderful view of Paris. The cathedral of Notre-Dame also deserves a visit and, of course, do not forget to go up the Montmartre hill to see a breathtaking panorama, Paris illuminated at nightfall.

The capital city of France is famous for its restaurants, bars, brasseries, tea rooms, ice cream parlours, open-air cafés and pubs. Gourmets from all over the world treat themselves with the real culinary feast the City of Lights offers. Traditional French cuisine, restaurants and cafés with their own particular atmosphere and style offer an endless range of flavours, tasty country dishes, Mediterranean specialities, recipes from all over the world, meats and cheeses, and sinful desserts.

And if what you are fond of is shopping, the famous passages of Paris are the perfect places to stroll and browse. They are also known as “galeries” and can be found in the area around Palais Royal: Galeries Vivienne, Colbert or Véro-Dodat. Here you can find the luxuriousness of their antique and fashion boutiques, combined with collectors’ bookshops and art galleries.

Passage Jouffroy and Passage des Panoramas house more common shops such as stamp collectibles, old books and postcards, traditional toys and picture-framing. Along the Champs-Elysées, the crowded arcades with a variety of boutiques resemble luxury shopping centres where you may get the latest trends in fashion, beauty, home accessories, interior decoration and exquisite fragances.

Paris' nightlife has a wide range of entertainment sights. Charming bar-cafes, high-tech dance clubs, the famous parisian cabarets and lively pubs are some of the options where to relax and have a drink to celebrate your visit to Paris.
