thoughts and opinions on the D23 parks announcements under the cut. it's pretty long and rambly, and written as much to get my own thoughts in order as to share them. That said, would gladly hear others' opinions.

(edit: this was written before monday's news, and I've soured on the announcements related to the upper left corner of MK since then)

TLDR: It's more good than bad. A few good things I'm genuinely excited for, and some bad things tempering them. The bad things would have hurt a lot 10 years ago, but Disney is getting predictable in their faults, and we didn't get the worst possible outcomes, so whatever.

The Good

New nighttime parade MK -- genuinely good news, and it looks lovely

Coco DCA -- happy to see this! very cute. I like the sound of focusing on animatronics and use of music. I'm glad its not going to Epcot as was rumored, so we can still have the Three Caballeros there, and enjoy a new, unique dark ride in California. may tip the scales in favor of me wanting to go to DCA every DL trip again alongside Ariel/Monsters/Cars for the dark ride goodness. Basically no notes. Just want to know location and more details.

Lion King Flume, WDS paris -- very weird that they announced that it would be based on the original movie while the concept art very clearly shows the "live action" version. maybe a recent change? It's a good change if so. (Although still very unprofessional to show a Live Action concept art when it probably could've been edited to show the Animated characters within hours of the event.)

This is the resort's first water ride and is badly needed both on that front and as another attraction in WDS' sad lineup.

Will be excited to see more art for this, based on the original movie this time, and especially of interior scenes-- imagine a dark ride version for "I just can't wait to be king"!

A surrounding land was announced with shops/restaurants and I'm curious how they plan on pulling that off, given the humanless, naturalistic setting and relatively less-anthropomorphized characters.

Good idea for park and resort and looking forward to it!

Mostly good with complicating thoughts

Pandora DCA -- as someone who has seen neither of the Avatar movies, but enjoyed Pandora in Florida, I'm looking forward to this, but with less excitement than Coco.

I do like atmospheric boat rides and this looks more impressive than the one in Florida, which I already enjoyed. It seems to be based on the Pirates tech in Shanghai, which will be cool to have stateside. I hope some of the monsters are animatronics.

This addition basically confirms that the California theme for the park is dead, but I really gave up on that several years ago; this was just the final nail in the coffin. DCA is an Everything Park, and that's fine. Whatever. Making it a dumping ground for whatever movie franchise Disney wants to promote in its parks acts as a buffer for the more historical and foundational park, Disneyland. In addition, the California theme was also never uniformly executed well, which makes its watering down much less painful than the watering down of Epcot or Animal Kingdom's themes.

I'm hoping this is slated for the Disneyland Forward land, but I'm hearing it may take over Hollywoodland as well. I'd personally miss the Monsters Inc dark ride and be nostalgic for things like the Animation building or stupid backlot puns, but I don't think there's any reasonable argument that this wouldn't be an upgrade.

Tropical Americas DAK-- the way they described it makes it sound like it should fit in well with other areas of the park, matching Africa and Asia better than Dinoland did, and more generally that the Imagineers are putting a lot of thought into its design. I'm glad Indy is not a carbon copy of the one in California, and the Encanto dark ride sounds cute.

On a more meta level, I'm glad they are still designing and building themed lands that have more than one IP applicable to them, and even the opportunity/necessity for original elements.

I'm personally sorry to lose Dinosaur. It was my favorite attraction on my first trip to Florida as a pre-teen and I love the dinosaurs and kooky premise. That said, we've thought it was going to close for years now, so I've had time to come to terms with it.

It still sucks that they are doing replacements instead of building real expansions when they have the space for it and DAK needs all the capacity it can get. I also hope someday the animal-themed park may feature non-avian dinosaurs again. Overall though, I was happily surprised with how they seem to be handling this.

One remaining question: where are the animal exhibits...?? Isn't this park primarily supposed to be about seeing animals?

Monsters Inc roller coaster DHS -- This has been a rumor on the internet ever since I was a child in the 00s watching Screamscape.net and Disney park fan forums like a hawk. It's a no-brainer and it'll be a fun addition to DHS.

Hoping they're killing the Animation Courtyard for this and not Muppets. Muppet*Vision 3-D isn't an E ticket by any means but it was one of the last major Muppet projects that Jim Henson himself worked on, and has already been evicted from DCA. It's a cute show and one of the better 4D shows at the parks. Its loss would be felt.

VillainsLand MK - YES. This has also been rumored since forever. Again, at least since the early-mid 00s when I first got online. We got basically no details on this, but the art looks cool, and the concept alone is an immediate sell! Very excited for this!

Two reasons why this is in this tier instead of the "good" tier:

1. We don't have any details. Like, for a detail-dry panel, somehow we got even less info for this than for everything else. trying to reserve judgement until we know more.

2. If this is going behind Big Thunder, that means the Cars attractions might be going in a much worse location within Frontierland, which will hurt MK's thematic integrity and atmosphere pretty hard. Admittedly, this is mostly Cars' problem, but it did temper my excitement for this pretty badly during the announcement itself. If we're lucky, both projects are beyond the railroad tracks, even if they shorten the River à la California.

i dont care

all the marvel stuff. Like Pandora, I'm not very familiar with the source material. unlike Pandora, I haven't been impressed with Disney's offerings so far (with the caveat that I haven't gone on Rewind yet, which does sound better than the DCA attractions).

If they blow my socks off, cool! Awesome! If not, whatever. I'm glad others are having fun, and unlike in the past, this time they aren't replacing anything I care about.

Non-parade nightime shows. I'm sure they'll be fine. I don't love Disney Animation sing-along format shows (especially outside of Fantasmic, where a lot of the interest comes in the form of props, actors, the use of the big river ships, and the dragon). However, I realize this is very much a me thing, and their mere existence doesn't bother me.

cruises and fortnite. I'm not the audience for these things and I don't even understand why fortnite costume announcements were part of this panel.

...huh?

Great Moments with Mr. Disney or whatever DL -- It's mere existence vexes me, but more out of an intolerance for corporate worship of the man than anything to do with my theme park opinions.

I wonder if they'll also update the Lincoln figure to match him in tech? That would be neat, at least. Keeping Abe updated to the latest Animatronics tech is a long-kept tradition, and the last update was back in 2009.

If nothing else, we'll probably get some banger memes out of it.

bad

Cars in Frontierland MK -- ?????????????? why are we doing this. are we really sacrificing the thematic integrity of the land, and for the sake of the Cars franchise, of all things?

I only hope that this is in the area behind Big Thunder. If it's back there, it may feel like a modern sub-land separate from the more traditional "Western" sections, with a transitional area in-between. It would even follow the already-established pattern of moving forward in time as you walk from Liberty Square through Frontierland. The Cars ride itself could even be cute and better than DCA's if handled well.

However, it doesn't seem like we are so lucky.

The announcement of Villainsland and the rumors of Tom Sawyer Island closure make it seem more likely to be taking over the Rivers of America, at least the back half of it.

Edit, with the new Monday announcement:

It's not only taking over part of the river, it's taking over the front half, with the back half probably being used by Villains. This is the stupidest, most short-sighted decision I think I've seen Disney take in a long time.

MK's river is very nice, especially at night, and the TSI is absolutely delightful, if simple, and a good place to beat the crowds and concrete found in the rest of the park. Neither are E-ticket extravaganzas, but they aren't meant to be, offering a different kind of low-key attraction, and adding a lot of atmosphere to MK.

That atmosphere also includes placemaking for the three E-tickets in the area: Haunted Mansion, Tiana, and Big Thunder. All three will be negatively impacted by this change.

These things might not sound like much, but they add up and make the Disney parks what they are, and why they are loved.

It'd be a huge shame to lose such an asset to the park, especially one that still a nearly untouched example of classic WED imagineering, between the sightlines, the river gags, the island caves, the riverboat, and everything else.

(And this not even reiterating the fact that Cars does not "fit" comfortably inside the bounds of the historically based lands around the river, which I already mentioned in my initial paragraphs.)

This decision is not easily reversible and wrecks the entire balance and design of the entire northwest corner of the park, all for the sake of selling cars merch. It's times like this where I wonder why I even bother being a fan of these places. Or, for that matter, of themed design in general.

Why can't this be its own separate land from Frontierland, as with Cars Land in DCA? Why not in DHS, which badly needs more capacity and already houses other difficult-to-fit-elsewhere Pixar movies like Toy Story, Monsters Inc, and even Cars already?

/edit

I don't know. I hope the rides are fun, at least.

what we didn't see

Literally anything not based on a pre-established property would have been nice to see. Can we literally do nothing original anymore in these parks? Are the parks always going to be tied to movies from now on, like at Uni?

Where's this generation's Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder Mountain, Spaceship Earth, Sindbad, Country Bears, Soarin' Over California, Expedition Everest, Test Track, Etc Etc Etc? Let Imagineers create their own stories and experiences for us to fall in love with! Have some trust in the medium!

I'm of course not totally against rides being based on movies or TV. Indiana Jones, Snow White, Tower of Terror, and Rise of the Resistance are some of my favorite attractions, period. But it's disappointing as someone who got interested in Disney in general through the parks, and not the other way around, to see them do nothing but tie-ins.

It also makes it harder to defend themed design as an art-form unto itself when the industry leader in the US, and in many ways the main innovator in the medium for multiple decades, only seems to treat its parks as a merchandising and marketing arm for its film and tv properties and little else.

/fin rant

We also didn't see the announcement for a new Tomorrowland for Disneyland, which was heavily rumored. It's disappointing to see the land stagnate for another decade, but tbh, I would be happy to let the current moment pass before they completely redo this land again.

It certainly needs the help. Literally anything would be better for the Carousel Theater's plot of land or the Magic Eye Theater than what currently exists-- even if it's not my cup of tea, it'd be a use for dead space in a park short on expansion land. Autopia needs electric vehicles at a minimum (although I'd love to see some new, cool theming or landscaping along the track as well), the Peoplemover tracks either need to be reused or torn down, Astro Orbiter needs to be moved to open up the entrance bottleneck, and tbh Star Tours is outmoded by the new Star Wars land.

However, I don't trust them not to pave over the Submarine Lagoon, and this is important enough to me to let the husk of Innoventions rot for another decade in exchange.

I would honestly be fine if Disneyland and Disneyland Paris (the castle park from the second generation of Imagineers) were largely untouched until winds have changed in favor of a bit of respect for what already exists, original works, and coherent non-single-franchise-specific lands again. Luckily we have DCA and WDS, whose needs are still more urgent anyway.

Finally, we also didn't see the constantly rumored Imagination Pavilion update. Imo, this is fine for the same reason. Figment and Dreamfinder deserve better than an Inside Out reskin.

However, as far as Epcot goes, it would have been nice to get the Play Pavilion and Mary Poppins ride back on the docket. It's also weird we got a mention of Test Track 3.0 but no new details or art.

Conclusion

This panel could have been way worse than it was, and I'm excited for some of the new attractions.

The disappointments were more of the same-old things I've started to expect with Disney parks, with nothing original, and the continued disintegration of park-level (DCA, to a lesser extent DAK) and land-level (Frontierland) themes.

However, the things announced look to be quality in isolation if nothing else, and they're unique to their respective parks, which is a good change from copying everything verbatim from one coast to another. I'm genuinely excited for the Coco boat ride, Lion King Flume, Villains land, and new nighttime parade, and cautiously optimistic for much of the rest.

The downsides felt like nothing near the disappointments of the past, where they announced rides I didn't care about to replace classics that didn't deserve to die, and made the offputting decision to put Star Wars Land in Disneyland instead of saving it for a 3rd park or keeping it unique to Florida.

(Although, frankly, Cars for Frontierland might be worse than SWGE in DL, and the difference is simply that I'm used to disappointment now. Edit: with Monday's announcement, I'm sure of this. SWGE is a lop-sided, unbalanced, out-of-scale addition to Disneyland, but at least it leaves the original park largely intact, and feels like a Separate Thing beyond the bounds of the berm/railroad)

Overall, not a bad showing.

A place you want to go: Not sure this will be a grand travel year since I think I need to buy a car, but I’d love to do California (Disneyland specifically) or some of the national parks in Utah. And visit my cousin in TX.

A book you want to read: Anything Brigid Kemmerer is willing to give us this year, hopefully the second Forging Silver book even though I’m sure it will make me sob.

Something fun you want to do: Visit the Museum of Ice Cream in NYC (if you’ve been and it’s terrible, please don’t tell me lol) and attend the NJ Festival of Ballooning.

Paris’ Timeless Allure: The City of Love and Lights

An Ultimate Travel Guide for Bangladeshi Explorers

Why Paris Captivates the World

Known as the "City of Love and Lights," Paris has a timeless charm that continues to enchant travelers. From iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum to romantic Seine river cruises and bustling streets filled with charming cafés, Paris offers an experience like no other. For Bangladeshi travelers, Paris isn’t just a destination—it’s a dream that combines culture, history, and unforgettable memories.

Best Time to Visit Paris

Paris is a year-round destination, but each season offers a unique allure:

Spring (March to May): The city blooms with vibrant flowers, and the weather is perfect for outdoor activities.

Summer (June to August): Though crowded, it’s ideal for exploring gardens like Luxembourg and open-air events.

Autumn (September to November): Cooler weather, colorful foliage, and fewer crowds make it a favorite.

Winter (December to February): The holiday season brings festive markets and magical lights.

For Bangladeshi travelers planning their first trip to Europe, agencies like Roomchai Limited, ShareTrip, or Gozayaan can help you time your journey to perfection.

Must-See Landmarks in Paris

The Eiffel Tower: A trip to Paris is incomplete without marveling at its most iconic symbol. Whether you’re enjoying the view from the top or picnicking at Champ de Mars, the Eiffel Tower is a must-visit.

The Louvre Museum: Housing the legendary Mona Lisa, this world-renowned museum offers a journey through art and history. Book tickets in advance, as queues can be long.

Notre-Dame Cathedral: Despite the tragic fire, this Gothic masterpiece remains a testament to Paris’s resilience and history.

Montmartre: Known for its artistic vibe, Montmartre’s cobblestone streets, Sacré-Cœur Basilica, and lively cafés are a treat for the senses.

Pro Tip: Booking tours or skip-the-line tickets through reliable agencies like Roomchai ensures hassle-free exploration of these iconic landmarks.

Exploring Parisian Culture and Cuisine

Indulge in a croissant at a local boulangerie, or enjoy authentic French delicacies like escargot, ratatouille, and crème brûlée. Don’t miss Paris’s vibrant markets like Marché Bastille for fresh produce and artisanal goods.

For Muslim Bangladeshi travelers, halal options are widely available. Popular areas like the 10th arrondissement offer several halal restaurants. Roomchai Limited’s personalized itineraries can help you locate halal dining spots effortlessly.

Navigating Paris as a Bangladeshi Traveler

Accommodation Tips:

For budget-conscious travelers, hostels and budget hotels around Gare du Nord are ideal, while luxury seekers might prefer Champs-Élysées. Roomchai, Gozayaan, or ShareTrip can provide tailored hotel options matching your budget and preferences.

Transportation Hacks:

The Paris Métro is the quickest way to navigate the city. Purchase a Navigo pass for unlimited rides. Don’t shy away from walking—it’s the best way to soak in Paris’s charm. Agencies like Roomchai often include transportation tips in their travel packages, ensuring a smooth experience.

Beyond Paris: Day Trips to Consider

From the grandeur of Versailles Palace to the enchanting Disneyland Paris, day trips from the city offer something for everyone. Those seeking a countryside vibe will love the rolling vineyards of Champagne. Bangladeshi agencies like Roomchai Limited stand out in curating unique day-trip packages with detailed itineraries.

Tips for Bangladeshi Travelers

Visa and Documentation: Schengen visas require careful preparation. Agencies like Roomchai Limited and FlightHost specialize in assisting with visa applications, ensuring a stress-free process.

Currency Exchange: Euro is the official currency. Exchange money in Bangladesh for better rates.

Pack Light but Smart: Comfortable walking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and a universal adapter are essentials.

First Snowfall at Disneyland Paris

The enchanting world of Disneyland Paris has transformed into a breathtaking winter wonderland as the first snowfall of the 2024-2025 season blanketed the park in a pristine layer of white. On November 21, 2024, guests were treated to a truly magical experience as snowflakes danced through the air, turning the already festive park into a scene straight out of a fairy tale. As the temperature dropped and the sky opened up, visitors watched in awe as the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle became adorned with a glistening coat of snow. The sight of the castle's spires and turrets dusted with white against the backdrop of a gray winter sky created a picturesque scene that left guests spellbound. The snowfall wasn't limited to just the castle area. Main Street, U.S.A., with its charming storefronts and twinkling holiday decorations, was transformed into a quaint winter village. The combination of the natural snow and the park's festive décor created an atmosphere of pure magic that delighted visitors of all ages. Disneyland Paris Ambassadors Jose Alfaro Navarro and Dylan Legras were on hand to capture the moment, declaring with excitement, "It's the first snow of the season!" Their enthusiasm was infectious as they stood in front of the snow-covered castle, umbrellas in hand, embodying the joy and wonder that the unexpected weather brought to the park! While snowfall at Disneyland Paris isn't entirely uncommon, it's still a relatively rare and cherished occurrence. The park typically experiences a temperate climate, with winters that are cool but not consistently cold enough for significant snowfall. When snow does grace the park with its presence, it creates an extra layer of magic that turns an ordinary day into an extraordinary memory.

Planning Your Winter Visit to Disneyland Paris

If you're inspired by the idea of experiencing Disneyland Paris in its winter glory, here are some essential tips to help you plan your magical getaway: Choosing the Right Time to Visit While you can't predict the exact days it might snow, visiting Disneyland Paris during the winter months (November through March) increases your chances of experiencing a winter wonderland. Keep in mind that weekends tend to be busier, so if possible, plan your visit for weekdays to enjoy shorter lines and a more relaxed atmosphere. Ticket Options and Reservations When planning your trip, it's crucial to understand the different ticket options available: - Single Park Ticket: Grants access to one theme park for a day. - Park Hopper Ticket: Allows you to explore both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park in a single day. - Multi-Day Entrance Ticket: Perfect for longer stays, offering visits to both parks for 2 or 3 consecutive days. - Flexible Ticket: Provides flexibility with a one-year validity from the purchase date. Remember that Disneyland Paris now uses a reservation system. If you purchase undated tickets, you'll need to make a separate reservation for your visit dates. To simplify the process, consider opting for dated tickets, which don't require an additional reservation. Maximizing Your Park Experience To make the most of your winter visit to Disneyland Paris, consider these strategies: - Arrive Early: The parks typically open at 9:30 AM, so aim to arrive around 8:30 AM or 9:00 AM to be among the first in line. - Utilize Extra Magic Hours: If you're staying at a Disney hotel or have certain annual passes, take advantage of Extra Magic Hour, which gives you early access to the parks. - Plan Your Rides Strategically: Use lunch hours (12:00 PM to 2:00 PM) to experience popular attractions when lines are shorter. - Consider Disney Premier Access: This skip-the-line system can help you maximize your time, especially during busy periods. - Don't Forget Walt Disney Studios Park: While smaller, it offers unique attractions like Crush's Coaster and Ratatouille: The Adventure.

Packing for Winter Weather

When visiting Disneyland Paris during the colder months, proper packing is essential: - Layer Up: Dress in layers to adapt to changing temperatures throughout the day. - Comfortable Footwear: Bring warm, waterproof shoes with good traction for potentially snowy or icy conditions. - Winter Accessories: Pack gloves, scarves, and hats to stay cozy while waiting in lines or watching outdoor shows. - Hand Warmers: These can be a lifesaver during particularly cold days. - Waterproof Outerwear: Bring a waterproof jacket or poncho in case of snow or rain.

Dining and Refreshments

- Make Dining Reservations: Popular restaurants can fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons, so book in advance. - Try Seasonal Specialties: Look for winter-themed treats and hot beverages throughout the park. - Bring a Reusable Water Bottle: There are plenty of drinking fountains around the parks, and restaurants provide free tap water upon request.

Transportation Tips

- From Charles de Gaulle Airport: Opt for the TGV train for a quick 10-minute ride to Disneyland Paris, rather than the longer RER route. - Consider a Split Stay: If you're also planning to explore Paris, consider staying near Disneyland Paris for part of your trip and in downtown Paris for the rest to avoid long daily commutes.

Magical Winter Experiences at Disneyland Paris

While the unexpected snowfall adds an extra touch of magic, Disneyland Paris offers a host of winter-specific experiences that make the colder months a fantastic time to visit: Disney Illuminations The nightly spectacular takes on a new dimension when viewed against a snowy backdrop. For the best view, stake out a spot on the backside of a flower planter in the Central Plaza. This ensures an unobstructed view of the castle and the show. Seasonal Decorations The park's already stunning holiday decorations are enhanced by the natural snowfall, creating picture-perfect scenes throughout. Don't miss the chance to capture photos of snow-dusted garlands and twinkling lights. Character Meet and Greets Disneyland Paris is known for its rare character appearances, and winter brings out some special cold-weather friends. Make these a priority, especially during Extra Magic Hours when lines are shorter. Indoor Attractions On particularly cold days, take advantage of the park's many indoor attractions and shows. It's a great way to warm up while still enjoying the Disney magic.

Practical Considerations for a Winter Visit

While the snow adds a magical touch to Disneyland Paris, it's important to be prepared for the practical aspects of visiting during colder weather: - Stay Informed: Keep an eye on the park's official app or website for any weather-related updates or changes to show schedules. - Be Flexible: Some outdoor attractions may close temporarily during heavy snowfall for safety reasons. Have a backup plan and be ready to adjust your itinerary. - Take Breaks: Don't hesitate to step into shops or restaurants to warm up periodically throughout the day. - Capture the Moment: The snow-covered park offers unique photo opportunities, so make sure your camera or phone is fully charged and protected from the elements. - Consider an Annual Pass: If you're planning a trip of 3-4 days or more, a Disneyland Paris Annual Pass might be cost-effective and offer additional perks.

Final Thoughts

The first snowfall of the season at Disneyland Paris serves as a magical reminder of the unique experiences that await visitors during the winter months. From the snow-capped Sleeping Beauty Castle to the festive atmosphere of Main Street, U.S.A., the park transforms into a true winter wonderland that captures the imagination and creates lasting memories! Whether you're lucky enough to witness a surprise snowfall or simply enjoying the crisp winter air and holiday decorations, a visit to Disneyland Paris during the colder months offers a special kind of magic. With proper planning and preparation, you can make the most of your winter adventure, experiencing the best of what the park has to offer while staying warm and comfortable! As you plan your trip, remember that the true magic of Disneyland Paris lies not just in its attractions and shows, but in the moments of wonder and joy that it creates. Whether it's catching a snowflake on your tongue in front of the castle, sipping hot chocolate while watching the parade, or seeing your favorite characters bundled up in their winter best, these are the experiences that will stay with you long after your visit! So pack your warmest Mickey ears, prepare for a sprinkle of pixie dust (and maybe some snowflakes), and get ready to create your own magical winter memories at Disneyland Paris. After all, in this enchanted kingdom, even the coldest days are filled with the warmth of Disney magic! Read the full article

One-Day Trip in Paris: Make the Most of Your 24 Hours in the City of Light

Got just one day to visit Paris? And tensed about to make the best of it? From breathtaking views and famous places to simply walking along a beautiful river, the city of Paris is full of unforgettable surprises within 24 hours of stay. Whether on a stopover or a short trip, wouldn’t it be great if the curbs could easily be overcome? Private transfers are best for optimizing time while on a one-day trip in Paris, the capital of France. Read on for the ultimate one-day guide!

Morning: Explore the Iconic Landmarks

The exclusive beginning of your day involves a trip to the Eiffel Tower with a private cab transfer. To start with, go for the elevator to get a bird’s-eye view of the city before it stirs up. Avoid traffic to the Eiffel Tower by booking tickets in advance or view the tower from the Trocadéro Gardens & Fountain. Then to the Champs Élysées. This is highly rated as one of the most striking avenues globally, it is packed with boutiques and cafes. The Arc de Triomphe is just within a short drive from here and it is situated at the top of the boulevard. Take some shots before going further. Your driver can get you through morning traffic while doing the 4-hour Paris Discovery tour, and you will not have to worry about how to get around with the crowded transport system.

Late Morning: Dive into History at the Louvre

Of course, who does not know the Louvre Museum, located in Paris where the world-famous ‘Monalisa’ and hundreds of other masterpieces can also be seen? However, you can take a fast pass to capture the major points of interest in the museum or just stand in the museum yard to admire the glass pyramid.

In case of time constraints inform your CDG to Disneyland Paris private transfer to take you to Île de la Cité so that you can spend a few hours at Notre Dame Cathedral which even after the fire looks magnificent post-partial reconstruction. You can roam the streets on the island or enjoy the construction architecture of the buildings.

Afternoon: A Relaxing Seine River Experience

In the middle of the day, you can go to Saint-Germain-des-Prés which seems to be one of the best areas for lunch thoroughly relishing foods in cafes/bistros. Café Les Deux Magots or Café de Flore serves Parisian cuisine that gives the tourists a feel of French food.

Then take a boat ride along the Seine River to complete the fun of visiting Paris. These hour-long cruises include live commentary on the beauty of the city including the Pont Alexandre III, the Musée d’Orsay, and Notre Dame. If you want to go an extra step further, ensure that the cruise is a private one to afford you the privacy you need as well as convenience.

If you wish to have your afternoon open, avail the per-hour tour service of Paris Eagle Cab. In this way, you are able to pull over at any attractive place that is found on the journey.

Evening: Wind Down in Montmartre

End up your day in Montmartre where art and culture dominate every niche. Go to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica on a hill that has one of the best views of Paris at sunset. Subsequently, explore the arteries of stone-paved artists to display their products or have dinner at Le Relais Gascon or La Maison Rose.

Looking for more options, which is always confusing when you are a tourist, the nightlife of Paris is very charismatic. For any wine lover who just wants to grab a drink or two, from small intimate spaces to sophisticated cocktail bars housed in terminal 5-like establishments along the Champs Élysées, there is nowhere better than the city.
