Amazing, incredible, ancient, cultural and fashionable are just a few words to describe the city of Paris. There is a never ending list of places to see, things to do, experiences to try and people to meet in the City of Light. I love spending time in Paris and regularly visit to shop, visit art galleries and gardens, try out new cafes and restaurants and often just wander the streets admiring the architecture and ambience of my favourite city in the world.

Musée du Louvre 

We have to start with this one. The Louvre is the largest monument in Paris and the most visited museum in the world. There are 35,000 works of art hanging in the huge museum and they fill approximately 16 kilometres of galleries and halls. The Louvre was first a fortress in the 12th century, then a royal residence and then the palace was transformed into a museum in 1793.
