either. A quick check list of sights to see includes: the Eiffel Tower, Notre
Dame Cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysee, the Louvre (Mona
Lisa, Venus de Milo, Winged Victory and an enormous amount of incredible art
and statuary), Montmartre and the Place du Tertre, Sacre Coeur, the Seine,
the Musee d'Orsay and its impressive Impressionist collection, the Musee
Marmottan and its less seen, but no less famous, Monet's, the Orangerie museum, at the foot of the
Tuilleries Gardens, the Place Vendome, the Opera, the Grand Palais and the
Petit Palais, the Conciergerie, where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned, the
Pompidou museum of modern art, the Marais district of exclusive shops, the
designer shops along the Rue du Faubourg St. Honore, Les Invalides, where
Napoleon is buried, the Rodin Museum, and the Saint Chapelle. (Museums

Shopping is everywhere, and the food is delicious in all of France. For
