Here are top ten sites to see in Paris especially if you are traveling with the family and the children:

5. Musee D’Orsay. This is a former railway station that is almost as big as The Louvre that houses a wide collection of impressionist paintings.

6. Arc De Triomphe. A monument that is not as tall as the Eiffel Tower, hence making it still possible to reach the top. This arch is in commemoration of Napoleon’s victories and his accomplishments.

7. Notre Dame. Another gem of Paris that you must prepare to climb due to its being one of the most impressive cathedrals in the world. This is included in every top list of the city’s attractions.
