Paris offers many incredible monuments to explore, many artistic masterpieces to discover, streets with famous shops to visit, cafes to enjoy.
The main points of interest are around the river "Seine", in particular the two islands, "Île Saint-Louis" and "Île de la Cité". If you stick around, you can almost go everywhere on foot. Paris is actually becoming a pedestrian city with far fewer noisy cars replaced by bicycles that don't always stop at a red light...

* LE LOUVRE
First stop, "The Louvre", which is a museum, a monument, a garden and a small shopping mall all in one. You can easily spend a day visiting all the departments. Don't worry, there are restaurants from place to place but no indoor garden to cool off like at the National Museum of Archaeology in Athens.
From Egyptian archaeology to nineteenth-century paintings, you'll find something that interests you. More than 35,000 works of art present you with the best of Western art from the Middle Ages to 1848. It is also an overview of ancient civilizations (Oriental, Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman), the arts of the early Christians, and those of Islam. Here are some masterpieces not to be missed: the Venus de Milo (Aphrodite), the Tortuous Victory of Samothrace, the frescoes of Venus and the Three Graces by Sandro Botticelli, the treasures of the Italian Renaissance including the famous Mona Lisa (Mona Lisa) by Leonardo da Vinci, but also the wedding feast at Cana by Paolo Caliari known as Veronase, the slaves by Michelangelo Buonarroti, some nineteenth-century paintings such as the Raft of the Medusa by Théodore Géricault and Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix.

. CLUNY
One of the largest collections of art from the Middle Ages with the iconic series of six 15th-century tapestries known as The Lady and the Unicorn. But this museum, which is also a monument, has much more to offer. First of all, the frigidarium dating from the first century and the pilar of the boatmen of the Seine, an offering to the Roman emperor Tiberius. The votive crowns from the treasury of Guarrazar near Toledo are exceptional jewels and symbols of the submission of the Visigothic kings to the Roman Catholic Church. The altar front of Basel Cathedral is an exceptional imperial gift for Basel Cathedral, inspired by antiquity and Byzantium. It dates from the first half of the eleventh century and was made using the "repousse" technique in bas-relief. It glorifies Christ surrounded by archangels and Saint Benedict. The 28 monumental statues of the kings of Judah overlooking the west façade of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, dating from the thirteenth century. etc.
