Paris has a steady oceanic climate. Variations are seldom making it a perfect site for more vacations. Summers are at 60 to 77 degrees, while winter is at 37 to 36 degrees. Regardless of weather, people come to Paris for more vacations to enjoy the different sites it has to offer. Here are some of them:
1. Place de la Bastille: This is a historical square in Paris, which was where the Bastille prison used to be before the “Storming of the Bastille.” Because of its history, protests are often held here.
2. Champs-Élysées: This garden-promenade/ avenue dates back to the seventeenth century. It connects the Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe. More vacations in Paris will not be complete without a trip or two through what is referred to as the most beautiful avenue in the world. Shops, cinemas and cafés line the street. Because of its prestige, rent here is quire high too. It earns $1.5 million in yearly rent just for 92.9 square meters of land.
3. Place de la Concorde: At the foot of Champs-Élysées, this site was originally referred to as Place Louis XV, where a guillotine was set. Now, it has the Egyptian obelisk, which is the oldest monument in Paris. The obelisk displays hieroglyphics in praise of Pharaoh Ramses II.
4. Les Halles: The place was named after a demolished wholesale marketplace. It currently displays fountains, sculptures and mosaic in some sort of open-air pit. It is also the home of the wax museum Musée Grévin - Forum des Halles. The underground rail station has its central hub underneath Les Halles
5. Le Marais: A trendy and open district, Le Marais has a Jewish community, Chinese community, a synagogue, museums and shops and a burgeoning gay presence.
6. Avenue Montaigne: This is the high fashion strip and is right next to the Champs-Élysées. Luxury brand labels, like as Chanel, Louis Vuitton (LVMH), Dior and Givenchy, have several shops here. Renowned jewelers are also located here, such as Bulgari. The Canadian embassy is also located in this street.
7. Montmartre: Standing 130 meters high, this hill has the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré Cœur at its peak. The peak is also the location of a nightclub area. Many renowned artists had their studios in the community, such as Vincent van Gogh , Salvador Dalí, Modigliani, Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso.
8. L'Opéra: This refers to the area around Opéra Garnier, which probably has the most number of offices and department stores in the city.
9. Quartier Latin: This is the academic district, where several colleges and universities are located. There are shops and lively bistros all over the area.
