About Paris
The extensive collections of the Louvre and the Impressionist masters of the Musee d’Orsay are a must for any first time visitor to Paris. The Metro is not only one of the oldest in the world, it's also one of the most extensive, so getting around is easy and fun. Food, in all its manifestations in Paris, is a joy. The local bistros, that in many cases offer the food of specific French region, are still frequented by office workers at lunchtime and there’s no city that does fine dining quite like Paris.

Things to do here
Musée d’Orsay
One of the world’s great art museums with collections that were moved in the late 1980s from the Louvre, Musée Jeu de Paume and National Museum of Modern Art to display art from 1820 onwards including the late 19th century Impressionists.
Place des Vosges
The Place des Vosges is the oldest planned square in Paris and one of the finest in the city. It is located in the Marais district and straddles the dividing-line between the 3rd and 4th arrondissements of Paris.
Marché Bastille
Some would say the best open-air market in Paris with stalls offering food from around the world. Pops-up on Boulevard Richard Lenoir on Thursdays and Sundays.
Cinéma La Pagode
A classified historical monument, this 19th-century Japanese pagoda was converted into a cinema in the 1930s and shows arthouse and classic films. A real one-off.
