in the French capital could easily drown one with an unending list of things to do. Sightseeing sometimes comes as a bonus for those on a business trip, so it is important to come prepared and well-researched before visiting this culture-rich city.</p><div><strong>Here are six things that should not be missed when in Paris:</strong></div><div><strong>1. The Louvre</strong></div><p>The largest museum in the world, the Louvre offers thousands of artworks from different parts of the world. Some of the most famous works include the &quot;Mona Lisa&quot; by Leonardo Da Vinci, &quot;Winged Victory of Samothrace,&quot; &quot;Venus de Milo,&quot; and Eugène Delacroix&#x27;s &quot;Liberty Leading the People.&quot;</p><p>The museum is so large that you need to prioritize which sections you would like to explore if you only have a few hours to spend. Experts estimate that it would take 100 days to explore all of The Louvre if one spends at least 30 seconds looking at each work.</p><div><strong>2. Paris City Vision tour </strong></div><p>Explore the city through organized tours to help you visit important landmarks. <a href="https://www.pariscityvision.com/en/paris/city-tour">Paris City Vision</a> offers tours depending on one’s interest. </p><p>For beginners, go on board a panoramic coach and see historic structures with an audio guide to better appreciate the city’s history.<br/> <br/><strong>3. River Seine cruise</strong><br/> <br/>Appreciate the history of Paris by taking the River Seine cruise, which shows different UNESCO Heritage sites.</p><p>The cruise begins right at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, crossing 22 bridges along the way. </p><p><strong>4. Street art</strong><br/> <br/>The French’s love for art is evident as one traverses the Parisian streets with colorful artworks. Walls become huge canvases for artistic expression all around the city. </p><p>Don’t forget to take a walk and appreciate the busy streets of Paris for some artistic inspiration.</p><div><strong>5. French wine and cheese</strong></div><p>The French are also known for their impeccable taste in food that every serving seems meticulously prepared. Set menus, which include appetizers to desserts, are typically more practical as these come in bigger servings.<br/> <br/>Experience a French gastronomical treat through a wine and cheese pairing session at La Vache dans les Vignes located along the Cana St. Martin. A little help from the staff would make first-timers and enthusiasts alike appreciate the educational encounter of finding the perfect pair of the cheese and wine varieties.</p><div><strong>6. Eiffel Tower light show</strong></div><p>See the city turn more magical in the evening as lights inject life to its famous monuments. Paris would not be called the City of Lights for nothing. Patience is the key here since the sun sets late in the evening – around 9 p.m. during summer.</p><p>Catch the Eiffel Tower Light show from Champs-Elysées, Trocadero, or along the River Seine. Watch the Iron Lady twinkle for five minutes every hour after sunset until 2 a.m.</p>
