Best Western Bercy - Paris Rive Gauche Paris 82-84, rue Régnault

Spacious and peaceful ensuite rooms with all modern amenities. Close to the metro system putting you in touch with the whole city.

Paris is the home of romance, art and culture and entertainment. Be sure to attend a show, dance or musical festival whilst in town. A wealth of museums and galleries to choose from but the most famous is of course Le Louvre - home to Mona Lisa and some priceless art pieces.

A visit to Paris wouldn't be complete without a climb up the Eiffel Tower, stopping for coffee half way up and then continuing up to receive your reward of panoramic views across the city. The Arc de Triomphe was built as a tribute to the French Army and commissioned by Napoleon.

Take a river boat ride along the Seine and alight at Notre Dame to view this Gothic Masterpiece a little closer. Spend some time with the local artists there who really are quite talented. Pompidou Centre is rather like London's Covent Garden filled with street entertainment, trendy cafes, art and craft shops and has a buzzy feel. Pay homage to Sacre Coeur at the top of Montmartre and take the time to visit one of the 60 odd markets that operate in the city - colourful, vibrant, entertaining and filled with characters.

A wealth of shopping but for exclusivity - head for Galeries Lafayette - a designer label lovers dream!
