With its beautiful public parks, ubiquitous sidewalk cafés, famous art museums, historic churches and palaces, Paris is a city that you come back to again and again while discovering new gems on every trip. There is so much to see and do in the city of love, especially out of doors. Whether it be strolling hand in hand along the quais, riding a bateau mouches around the Ile de la Cite, browsing the wares of the bouquinistes, or crossing the Pont Neuf, the Seine is the lifeblood of this romantic city and its chief point of reference. But if you really want to know why Paris is the city of lovers, visit the tomb of Abelard and Heloise at Pere Lachaise Cemetery.
