Disneyland Paris – Amusement for Young and Old

For all eager to visit the magical world of Disney, we will make a quick review of the place and provide some useful information.
Disneyland Paris is unique, not only because it is a recreation of the world of our favourite childhood characters. Disneyland Paris is the only such attraction in Europe.
Disneyland was first set up in the US and then the magic spread to Tokyo, Japan, and finally arrived in Europe in 1991. Since then it has been competing with the Eiffel for tourists’ all-time-favourite destination. This amusement park has it all, magical worlds – from Pirates to Peter Pan, accommodation comparable to hotel cdg or hotel Paris la defense.
You may wonder why did Paris get the opportunity to be the next Disneyland destination. First of all, Paris is in central Europe which makes it easily accessible for Europeans to reach. The UK and Spain were not eligible only due to transport matters.
Furthermore, Walt Disney, the world-known cartoon artist, had a French origin. His bloodline had been tracked down to Isigny, and it is considered to be in the very name of the artist D’Isigny = Disney.
If you happen to be in Paris, catch RER A and get to Marne-la-Valee as soon as possible. The world of your dreams is waiting for you to discover it.

Notre Dame de Paris and the River Seine

We are back to Paris today with many more places to show you and more interesting facts to share. Explore Paris with us.

We will guide through the region where the city of lights emerged centuries ago. L'ile de la Cité  is the birth place of Paris in the middle of the River Seine. This area is where Notre dame de Paris proudly stands. The Latin Quartier is another place of interest there. Let the tour begin.

Depending on where you intend to spend the night in Paris, you have different options how to get to the left side of the River Seine. If you are at Hotel Paris la Defense you have easy access to the metro or the bateau-bus - a good boat trip to all the tourist destinations along the river. 

But wherever you are, start the journey early in the morning and take your time. You do not have to be in a rush, the metro is a very practical way to get around. Get the metro to the Cité station. This is the exact place of the ancient city of Paris, formally a Roman administration centre. There you will find the grandiose Conciergerie building housing the French Police and the Palace of Justice. 
If you start your journey from Hotel Paris Arc de Triomphe, it is more conveniet to get directly to Sainte Chapelle, just behind the Conciergerie building. The chapel is a real architectural masterpiece with its picturesque stained glass - "vitrages". 
Now that you are here enjoy it fully. We will leave you to contemplate undisturbed the beauties surrounding you.

The Dream Trip: Paris

Paris - the dream romantic destination. Paris not only the most romantic city in the world. It is a metropolitan area with almost 12 million inhabitants. Paris is one of the famous European Fashion destinations, it is also world popular for its gastronomy and high education quality.
But there is more to Paris than this. The "city of lights" has a long and spectacular history. But now it is not the time to talk about Napoleon or the Revolution. We are now discovering the beauty and magic of this cosmopolitan city. 
Did you ever wondered what does Paris stands for? it is not just a name, it has its specific signification. Paris comes from the name of a Gaulish tribe which inhabited the area during the Roman era. The tribe bared the name Parisii, meaning "working people". Don't you think that Paris has become now the city of the working people.
For us, the tourists, the Paris reality is not the nerve-cracking busy one. I was able to see all the busy traffic outside, leaning on a wide window at my Hotel Paris la Defense. The thing which fascinated me was how the ancient bits of the city cohabited with contemporary elements in architecture. It is strange, but however, it is classy. I was really amazed by the astounding monuments well preserved for ages now. 
When I was walking down the long boulevards and of course on Champs Ellyses I was imagining how all great figures such as Louis 14th and Napolean were heading down the same road. Magnificient.
I reckon that the best time to visit Paris is spring or summer. But definitely on Christmas. You should not miss all the boulevards beaming with lights, all the sparkles. It is worth.
Chose your hotel carefully. Make sure you spend your money wise. In hotels like Hotel Paris Arc de Triomphe have a lot to offer you at decent prices. So pick a hotel that is in area you would like to spend most of your time in. For example if you are an arts-fan, book a hotel on Montmartre. You will be surrounded by artists and their tripods. and the breathtaking view will inspire you to be creative yourself.
