Firstly and to be honnest, I was born in Paris, I live in Paris and I work in Paris... I am probably partial but when you live in one of the most beautiful city in the world and the most visited, it's hard to appear fair.

But finally, it's not the point, and if you come in Paris, don't hesitate to contact me, I know the best beer craft pubs ;)

Like other members, I think the core of this WHS is too small ; the whole city clearly deserves this status. I really don't care, but Montmartre, the Opera Garnier, Les Champs-Elysées, the Quartier Latin (Sorbonne) are so many valuable places which can be the subject of an extension of this WHS.

Back now to the inscribed property:

One of the most beautiful human construction I have ever seen is clearly the Sainte-Chapelle. In front of all these stained glasses, you are forced to wonder how it can remain standing (cf. picture), it's really impressive.

In addition, you have one of the most famous museum in the world that everybody knows: Le Louvre. A wonderful castle like the Ermitage in St Petersburg, and a collection of works of art like the British museum or Pergamon museum have. The musée d'Orsay is another famous museum on the other side of the Seine: an old station turned into a museum of impressionist art.

From the river, you can appreciate in particular the Institut de France. And probably the most beautiful bridge in Paris: le pont Alexandre III (ideal place for sunsets!).

If Notre-Dame de Paris is also famous, don't forget to walk towards the Ile Saint-Louis where the buildings and the streets kept their charm.

It's already a good visit of this WHS, but i'm sure you will also have a look to the Eiffel tower (by night, it's more beautiful) or the Invalides.
