Whats the best tourists attractions to cover in Paris with just 3 days?
Well, on the first day of your first time in Paris head for Notre Dame on the Ile de la Cite, the island in the Seine where Paris began centuries before the birth of Christ. By way of orientation, the Latin quarter is in the Left Bank which is south of the Seine and the Right Bank is to the north of the Seine. The Eiffel Tower, which can bee seen from many vantage points is to the west. So facing the Eiffel tower your left is south and your right is north. In the plaza in front of Notre Dame you’ll find the point zero marker from which all distances are measured in France. Notre Dame itself is a “working” church and the seat of the Archbishop of Paris. Entry is free to the church itself but the “treasury” and the bell tower have entrance charges. Skip them on this trip. Continue on past Notre Dame and at the tip of the Island you’ll find the Memorial to the Deportees. Take a moment to visit. It’s a moving experience. Cross over the Pont St. Louis to another small island, the Ile St. Lo
