What To Expect
Place de la Concorde
A royal square designed by architect Gabriel in the 18th century. In 1792, this square was home to a guillotine that took thousands of victims’ lives. In 1836, King Louis Philippe installed the obelisk, a gift from Egypt.
Louvre Museum
Constructed as a stronghold in the 13th century, it went on to become the French royal residence and was transformed into a museum in 1793. Today, it displays over 35,000 words of art (Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo...). Since 1989, visitors enter through the glass pyramid, designed by architect Ieoh Ming Pei.

Nice evening trip down the Seine

4.00The only thing negative is the line waiting for the boat. People pushing and shoving then running onto boat. The rest of the trip was wonderful. We got on at 9:15. Just in time for the Eiffel Tower sparkle at 10.

5.00Taking this your on our first evening in Paris was a wonderful introduction to the main sights along the Seine. We arrived an hour before sunset, waited about 20 minutes for the boat to depart, and enjoyed the gradual change of the evening light. I was surprised how steep the river banks are. You look up at Notre Dame or the Louvre and will not see buildings that are away from the river.
Very good time

3.00It did not go far enough down the Seine to see the Statue of Liberty. We wished there were headsets so the tour commentary could be heard above the screaming children onboard. Otherwise, it was fine.
Beautiful view

3.00The walk was better than expected, the view is beautiful, but could be more comfortable, a pity not to see the tower light.
