The romantics can stroll in the moonlight along the banks of the Seine, the "vicious" to hunt for sins to Pigalle, the "trendy" hang the trendiest neighborhoods (at this time, the ethnic mix of Belleville).

And of course, all the tourists who are not ashamed of it can climb the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame to join, make a stop on the steps of Sacre Coeur and the Place des Vosges on the benches.
Last stop, the top of the Tour Montparnasse, to see the sun set and deliver to Paris on his heart.
