Paris Travel Tips
Paris travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • There's a side-entrance to the Louvre Museum named Port de Lions. It's located between the Pont du Carrousel and the Pont Royal in the southwing of the museum. If you don't want to wait for hours in line at the pyrmid, this is the way to be in the Louvre in 2 minutes.  Christoph R.
  • oh Paris so many things to see and do here the best I can reccommend is at least stay here for 4 nights minimum to really get a feel of the city and to experience the wonder of Paris....dont just pass though on a day trip!  Rebecca C.
  • If you don't have a fear of height, please go up with the elevator to the Eiffel Tower and look around. Being on the top of Paris is amazing and if the weather is good you can see very far.  Melinda V.
