Paris Digest's sightseeing selection 

We suggest the Champs-Elysées, the left banks of the Seine river (right on the picture), a walk through Montmartre (below on the picture), or from the Louvre to the Concorde square through the Tuileries garden.

The Cité island   with Notre-Dame as starting point also provides plenty of walk opportunities: to the Luxembourg garden through the Quartier Latin student district, to the Hotel de Ville (city hall) and the Pompidou center on the left bank, to the Place des Vosges through Saint-Louis island.

The "Bateaux-mouche", these typically Parisian river boats, are a good alternative with their nice cruises on the Seine river through the heart of historic Paris. They provide another view on the city and are indeed less tiring than walking!.

You can also discover Paris by bus with Cityrama at http://www.cityrama.com or ParisVision at http://www.parisvision.com. They have many interesting tours through Paris. Another good and relaxing way to discover Paris.

If you are looking for a book on Paris, we recommend you to buy "Above Paris" by Robert Cameron and Pierre Salinger, a hardcover (on the left) with low-lever aerial full-color photographs ($23.60).
