If you are traveling in Paris you may want to look into a car rental to get you from place to place. Paris is the capital city of France and is located in northern France. The estimated population of Paris in 2005 is 2,153,600 residents. Paris is a very popular vacation spot, with over 30 million visitors per year. A few of the attractions the people go to see in Paris include a twelfth century cathedral called Notre Dame de Paris, The Napoleonic Arc de Triomphe and of course the nineteenth century Eiffel Tower. Any of these attractions would be a beautiful site to see for anybody.
The cathedral Notre Dame de Paris is found on the eastern half of the Île de la Cité and is easily considered one of the best examples of French Gothic architecture. Notre Dame is translated into “Our Lady” from French. The Notre Dame was one of the first buildings in the whole world to use arc-boutant. The cathedral started being built in 1163 and was completely finished in 1250-1345.
The Arc de Triomphe stands at the western end of the Champs-Élysées and honours the soldiers who fought for france, particularly in the Napoleonic Wars. The arch is over 165 ft (51 meters) in height and is 145 ft (45 meters) wide. It is the second largest triumphal arch in all of the world. The Eiffel Tower, built in the 19th century is the tallest structure in paris and one of the most notable attractions of the world.
The iron tower was visited by 6,428,441 people and more than 200,000,000 in its entire lifetime. The entire structure towers over the city with the height of 1,063 ft (324 meters). In 1887 the tower was named the tallest structure in the world and held its title until 1930. Any of these monuments would be absolutely wonderful to see and you should definitely experience them. Wherever you decide to go in Paris you should make sure you have a source of transportation. Make sure to look into car rentals to help get you where you need to go.

 Jonah William - Owner at Tessier Marketing - I thought I was well versed in social media before I found Teo. He has helped me round my skill set with great information only he seems to teach. I went on the web and looked for it later, but it's just not there. The ShareThis.com counters for instance, which definitely don't work right... can't find that anywhere, but it's easy to prove once you know what to test for! Teo really has a way of getting to what works and what works best! - March 17, 2012, Jonah was Teo's client |
