Hôtel Régence Paris 33 Rue de Saint Petersbourg

A myriad of choices to fill your time whilst you stay in Paris. The best shopping is found close by with department stores, mainstream outlets and everything from shoes, handbags, gifts, lingerie, perfume and jewellers. For something a little more exclusive head for the designer label Galeries Lafayette - here you will find every name under the sun - Gucci, Prada, Escada, Bally and Armani. A lovely place to have that leisurely lunch and watch the latest fashion show, book signing or view an art exhibition - there's always something going on here. Its also the home of the largest menswear store in Europe!!

Take a river boat ride along the Seine to view all the main sights and see the skyline of the city - alight at Notre Dame to take a closer look at this Gothic Masterpiece. Be sure to climb Tour Eiffel, view Arc de Triomphe and pay homage to Sacre Coeur on Montmartre - inside the church you will see the largest mosaic in the world depicting Christ with outstretched arms.

Enjoy a coffee in Pompidou Centre whilst you watch the street entertainment and mingle with people from all around the world.

Over 60 markets operate throughout the city so be sure to visit one - characters, colour, speciality foods, gadgets, gifts and clothing amongst other things are all to be found.

Don't miss a visit to Le Louvre - the most famous art gallery in the world - home to Mona Lisa and priceless art treasures.
