Heading Off The Beaten Track In Paris

Paris is a great city and you really could explore it for the rest of your life and not see everything. Tourists who visit Paris usually go to the same places so that means there is so much that they miss out on. But there are so many really lovely places in Paris that are worth taking the time to see. You might find the suggestions below helpful if you would like to get off the beaten track the next time you go to Paris.

Cours Saint Emilion.

Cours Saint Emilion is a village right in the midst of urban Paris. This is where you will find many fantastic boutiques and you can chill out here for a few hours to get away from the rush of the big city. And if you wanted to enjoy a nice meal here, you will find plenty of lovely restaurants.

The Catacombs. This is a really interesting location which should definitely be on your list of places to visit. This is where you can see skeletons from as far back as 200 years; around seven million of them.

The Parisian sewer system.

Although you are probably wrinkling your nose in disgust at the moment, this really does provide a fabulous day out. There is a guided tour of the underground labyrinth and it is a great place to cool off during the summer heat.

Pere-Lachaise Cemetery.

You will be able to see the gravestones of many really well known people in this cemetery although you may not have heard as much about it as you have of the Eiffel Tower for example. Three examples of such famous people who have been buried here are Edith Piaf, Jim Morrison from the Doors and Oscar Wilde. Spending time around a graveyard might sound a bit morbid but it is actually a very pleasant area.

The examples above are just a few of the places you could visit when you want to escape the normality in Paris. There are many more places like this and the more you explore the more you will find.

Tickets for England, Eurotunnel tickets and London tickets (billet angleterre) are extremely important when visiting the UK (voyage angleterre). On top of this you may want to think about staying in an English hotel (h´tel angleterre).
