Hi, Leo! You’ve been to Paris, right? I’m going next week, and I want a simple sightseeing plan. What are the main places I should see?

LEO
M

Yes, I went last spring. Paris is amazing. First, you should see the Eiffel Tower. It’s the classic one.

EMMA
F

Of course! Is it better in the day or at night?

LEO
M

Both, but at night it’s special because the lights sparkle. If you have time, go up to the second floor. The view is great.

EMMA
F

Nice. What’s next?

LEO
M

The Louvre Museum. Even if you don’t love museums, it’s worth it. You can see the Mona Lisa, but it’s usually crowded.

EMMA
F

I’m not sure I want to spend the whole day inside.

LEO
M

You don’t need a whole day. You can choose a few sections and walk around for two or three hours. Also, the building is beautiful.

EMMA
F

Good idea. What about churches? I like old buildings.

LEO
M

Then go to Notre-Dame. You can’t always go inside because of the restoration, but the area is still great. Walk around the river near it.

EMMA
F

The river is the Seine, right?

LEO
M

Yes, the Seine. You should do a boat cruise. It’s relaxing, and you see many famous bridges and buildings from the water.

EMMA
F

That sounds perfect. Any other “must-see” places?

LEO
M

Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur. It’s a hill with a big white church at the top. The views are amazing, and the streets are very charming.

EMMA
F

Is it far from the center?

LEO
M

Not too far. You can take the metro. Just wear comfortable shoes because there are many stairs.

EMMA
F

Okay! And what about shopping or walking areas?

LEO
M

Walk on the Champs-Élysées and visit the Arc de Triomphe. You can go up to the top of the Arc too. It’s a nice view of the city streets.

EMMA
F

Great. I also want some green parks.

LEO
M

Go to the Luxembourg Gardens. It’s calm, clean, and very Parisian. People sit, read, and drink coffee nearby.

EMMA
F

Wow, that’s a lot. How many days do I need?

LEO
M

If you have two or three days, you can see the main attractions without rushing. My advice: don’t plan too much. Paris is also about walking, small cafés, and enjoying the atmosphere.

EMMA
F

I love that. Thank you, Leo! Now I feel ready.

LEO
M

You’re welcome! Take lots of photos—and eat a croissant for me!
