Eiffel Tower
On the first day as you usually arrive early start with the Eiffel tower. The iconic steel tower is a strong stimulant to help fight jet lag.
Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysees
Then after a good first meal experience of maybe a baguette students can then walk to the Arc the Triomphe and then explore the famous Champs Elysees.
Notre-Dame and the Louvre
The next day you can then plan on your visit in the morning at the Louvre to explore the magnificent collections of this most renowned museum of art. Just a few steps across the Louvre you can make your way to the Notre Dame Cathedral. Recently a fire made some significant damage but reconstruction is on time and progressing.
