Dig a historical tour? Go westwards from the Louvre through the Tuileries Gardens, the 17th-century Champs-d’Elysees, the Place d’Etoile circus and onwards to La Defense business district, the Grand Arche, and the tallest skyscrapers of Paris. Can you believe it? There’s an Egyptian obelisk in the Place de Bastille and the Place de la Concorde.

Have fun sightseeing from a boat or bus, or even while skating or bicycling. Did you know you can rent a bike in Paris?
