Best Western Opéra Grands Boulevards Paris 42 Rue des Petites Ecuries

We are perfectly placed for those wishing to take full advantage of the entertainment, shopping and sight seeing that is close by. Close to the Madeleine church and just a short stroll to the Place de la Concorde - walk a little further along to Champs Elysees and you are soon faced with the monumental landmark of Arc de Triomphe standing some 50 metres high and 45 metres wide - this heritage sight was commissioned by Napoleon in favour of the French Army for their bravery.

Do the main sights if its your first time here - its fun. Climb Tour Eiffel and visit Notre Dame. Spend some time visiting the art galleries and the museums - there are many but the most famous and most visited is Le Louvre - home to the enigmatic Mona Lisa and many priceless art treasures - you will be amazed at the entrance - a pyramid made from 673 diamond shaped glass panes - awesome.

Pop over to Pompidou Centre - rather like London's Covent Garden it is filled with street entertainment, arty crafty shops and perfumeries and trendy cafes where you can sit and enjoy that hot chocolate and fresh croissant and simply watch the world go by.

Evening entertainment takes many forms - a trip to the Opera, attend the Theatre and take in the latest show, or visit Moulin Rouge for the complete Parisien experience - enjoy the unique show where dancers are truly acrobatic, lively and flamboyant with the one and only Can Can!
