Information on places to visit in Paris with a hire car

Paris is one of the most famous and most-visited cities in the world and it is little wonder why. The city of romance has long been the centre of European history and culture and almost every street and street corner has a fascinating story to tell. There are so many things to do and see in this great city but perhaps the best place to start is with the iconic Eiffel Tower. It stands at 324 metres in height and is the city’s centrepiece. The first two levels up the tower contain shops and restaurants and the third features an observation deck where you can enjoy spectacular views of the city - a must-do for any first-time visitor to Paris! The Louvre is also an essential experience when visiting Paris. It is the world’s largest and most visited art museum. You could easily spend weeks in here appreciating all of the incredible works of art but if you are pushed for time, be sure to prioritise the 2,200-year-old Winged Victory of Samothrace, Liberty Leading the People (Delacroix), the Portrait of François I (Jean Clouet), and of course the Mona Lisa (Leonardo da Vinci). Another stunning attraction in the city is the Notre-Dame de Paris. It sits alongside the Seine River and is just as spectacular inside as it is outside. Other honourable mentions include the Palace of Versailles, the Arc de Triomphe and the Sainte-Chapelle.
