Ever since I was 18, I've been head over heels for Paris.

I want you to experience all this city has to offer. Trust me, life hasn't really started until you saunter along the Seine, where love blossoms at every corner. The moment you step onto the iconic riverbank, you'll be swept off your feet by the city's passionate embrace. With picture-perfect bridges, the soft glow of street lamps, and love-infused whispers swirling in the air, this is truly an unrivaled romantic hotspot.  Gasp in amazement at the architectural marvels adorning its banks—from the mighty Notre-Dame Cathedral to the ever-dazzling Eiffel Tower looming in the distance. No French adventure would be complete without exploring its legendary landmarks!  Climb the Eiffel Tower, peep into The Louvre Museum's treasure trove of artistic masterpieces, and appreciate The Arc de Triomphe—the perfect reminder of Paris's grand and glorious past.  Your time in Paris will be a whirlwind romance that outshines your wildest dreams. The city will enchant you with its allure, charm, and cultural richness—forever stamping itself on your heart. Don't wait another moment! Reach out to me today so we can unfurl the vibrant quilt that is The City of Light—where every footstep springs forth a breathtaking new adventure. Indeed, Paris, the City of Lights, is a must-visit destination for any traveler seeking a rich cultural experience and dazzling sights. Brimming with history, art, and delectable cuisine, Paris offers a multitude of world-famous attractions that will make your trip unforgettable - a dream come true.  Below is more information about some of the best places in Paris to visit. 1. Eiffel TowerNo trip to Paris would be complete without visiting the city’s most famous symbol, the Eiffel Tower. Built in 1889 as an entrance arch to the World's Fair, this towering wrought-iron structure stands at 324 meters tall and provides stunning panoramic views of the city from its observation decks. 2. Louvre MuseumAs home to the famous Mona Lisa and numerous other masterpieces, the Louvre Museum is one of the world's largest and most visited art museums. Its vast collection spans from ancient civilizations to the 19th century and showcases pieces such as the Winged Victory of Samothrace and Venus de Milo. 3. Notre-Dame CathedralThis stunning Gothic cathedral is an awe-inspiring example of medieval architecture and craftsmanship. Although severely damaged in a 2019 fire, visitors can still marvel at its intricate façade and striking twin towers while they amble along the banks of the Seine River. 4. MontmartreSteeped in history and boasting narrow cobbled streets lined with cozy cafés, Montmartre is an artistic neighborhood famous for its bohemian charm. Don't miss visiting Sacré-Cœur Basilica - perched atop Montmartre hill, offering panoramic views of Paris from its highest point. 5. Palace of VersaillesJust a short train ride outside Paris lies the opulent Palace of Versailles, once home to French royalty including Louis XIV, XV and XVI. This UNESCO World Heritage Site houses stunning gardens, elegant halls adorned with ornate chandeliers, and the Queen's Hamlet – a picturesque rural retreat for Marie Antoinette. 6. Musée d'OrsayHoused in a stunning former railway station, the Musée d'Orsay is renowned for its extensive collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artwork. Here, you'll find works by masters such as Monet, Renoir, Degas, Van Gogh, and Cézanne beautifully displayed in a unique modern setting. 7. Champs-Elysées and the Arc de TriomphePromenade down the famous Champs-Elysées, one of the world's most recognizable avenues lined with boutiques, cafés, and theaters. At its western end stands the impressive Arc de Triomphe erected by Napoleon to celebrate his victories. Climb to the top for sweeping views of the grand avenue. These are just a few of the countless gems that await you in Paris. Indulge in some French pastries, roam carefree along the charming streets, and savor all the magic that is Paris. Let me help your dream come true. Call me now.

Best travel advisor!
Luis is the best travel advisor! My family’s trip to Tokyo and Osaka has been incredible. We were able to find lots of activities that were kid-friendly and enjoyable for my wife and I as well. His knowledge of the area really helped us get around the area. With his help, we were able to experience so much more than if we had DIY’ed our vacation.
