Head to Le Marais and Champs-Elyseesfor some retail therapy. Get a sense of the local culture at Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. Venture out of the city with trips to Palace of Versailles (in Versailles), Caresse de Tigre (in La Mailleraye-sur-Seine) and Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Rouen (in Rouen). There's lots more to do: take a stroll through Montmartre, explore the world behind art at Musee d'Orsay, explore the different monuments and memorials at The Paris Catacombs, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilique du Sacre-Coeur de Montmartre.
