Favorite sight in Paris?

Walk up to Sacre-Coeur, stand on the steps underneath the church, and simply look around. The panorama is superb.

Hi Anna, my first visit to Paris was as a child and my favourite thing then was to see Napoleon's tomb which I still remember visiting, if I recall correcty he was buried within 7 coffins. On a later visit as an adult I remember drinking wine and eating garlic snails in the square beneath the Sacre Coure, and especially enjoying the paintings in the Orangery. The sight of the beautiful shell fish served in the evenings in layers on top of beds of ice. The weather was beautiful and we wandered along the Seine and through some gardens with amazing statues.

I loved the catacombs beneath the city. It's uniquely historical and actually very beautiful. When we went, we had a nifty experience where we were standing in a section quietly and no one else was around (or far enough off that we couldn't hear them), and we're just sort of looking around, taking it in, when suddenly, back in some pile of bones, we heard a noise. It was just the bones shifting, and nothing to be afraid of, but it was just a really interesting experience--all these thousands, probably millions, of bones have been sitting there for a few centuries, and just then, right there, some settled. It was really neat.=)
