Nature/Leisurely walks: +++ Culture : +++ Shopping : +++
Are
you a day person ? The first arrondissement is for you then!
From dawn to dusk it is a turmoil of life and movement.
Animal
sellers, booksellers, the Commodity Market, and the Bank of
France, all rub shoulders along the banks of the Seine in
a warm atmosphere.
This
is a heterogeneous neighbourhood, where all activities are
represented. The 1st Arrondissement is a neighbourhood steeped
in the Economy but which also conceals some cultural treasures.
If you want to enjoy these treasures, the Louvre Museum, the
Palais Royal and the Jardin des Tuileries will overwhelm you.
And
if you prefer shopping, the Halles forum and the Place Vendôme
will delight you.
Finally,
you can discover, in the magnificent roads of the Île
de la Cité, its small typical restaurants which leave
you with a wonderful recollection.
Routes
for everyone :
for
lovers of leisurely walks :
There are three stages to the visit here, from the Concorde
to the Place du Châtelet. A walk around the Jardin des
Tuileries will let you start the day gently, exploring the
Orangery in a
verdant, pleasant setting, before wandering along the paths
of the Garden. On leaving, you go back to the Quai des Tuileries
along Rue des Pyramides, at the level of the Pont Royal, in
order to begin your walk along the embankment.
