The City of Light is known for romance, and few landmarks are more iconic than the Eiffel Tower.

Luckily, skip-the-line tours offer travelers an immediate trip to the top, so they can bypass tourists and head straight for those magnificent views.

Den 14 juli 1789 inleddes den franska revolutionen med stormningen av Bastiljen. Idag kan du hitta fransmän och andra fransktalande som firar den historiska händelsen runt om i världen, med Paris som ett självklart centrum. Besökare i ljusets stad kan börja nationaldagen med militärparaden på Avenue des Champs-Elysées. Den årliga traditionen visar upp den franska militärens regementen och hyllar en urgammal tradition av nationell ära och nationens skydd. Frankrikes president gör ett framträdande och besökarna får se en parad till fots, trupper till häst och en motorbrigad fram till kl. 12. Den som gillar en härlig blandning av färg, ljud och ljus kan se ett imponerande fyrverkeri som skjuts upp från Eiffeltornet. Det årliga evenemanget är en höjdpunkt under Frankrikes nationaldag, och påminner om den historiska striden med episka fanfarer. En naturskön middagskryssning på Seine är ett utmärkt sätt att undkomma folkmassorna och njuta av fyrverkerier från båtens huvuddäck. Under dagen kan du boka en snabbinträdesbiljett för att se den berömda utsikten från Eiffeltornet och besöka dess översta våning utan att köa. Efter fyrverkerierna kan besökarna dansa natten lång på någon av över ett dussin parisiska brandstationer. Den lekfulla traditionen, som äger rum mellan kl. 21.00 och 04.00 har fungerat som ett sätt att uppmärksamma räddningsmanskapet och samla in pengar för att förbättra brandstationernas villkor. Det ger en möjlighet att träffa lokalbefolkningen och njuta av ett verkligt minnesvärt firande.

The River Seine is the lifeblood of Paris. Immerse yourself in romance, cruising under iconic bridges to see the architectural wonders and discover the daily life of this beautiful city from the water.

Magnificent in its dark gothic splendor of towers and gargoyles, it’s even more awe-inspiring from river-level – imagine waking up to that sight each day! Leaving Notre Dame and its perch on the Ile de la Cité behind, turn back to see the best view looking downstream at the tip of the island and beautiful flying buttresses at this curved end of the cathedral.

The Louvre may be the world's greatest art museum. Don't be daunted by its size and overwhelming richness; if you have even the merest interest in the fruits of human civilization from antiquity to the 19th century, then visit you must. Paris might be renowned as one of the most romantic cities in the world, but having to share your sightseeing experience – as it's also one of the most popular cities in the world – with thousands of other tourists can quickly turn a fun trip into a stressful day as you spend hours in line at famous attractions. Thankfully, it’s possible to book Skip the Line tickets for many of Paris' most popular sights like the Louvre, meaning you can head straight to the front of the queue and spend the rest of your time soaking up the atmosphere in the City of Lights.

Between Paris and the English Channel lies the region of Normandy, abounding in historic sites, moody countryside and culinary hotspots. You can visit some of the area’s highlights on a day trip from the French capital, or take your time and let the Normans conquer you with charm. One of the region’s premier sights is the breathtaking tidal island of Mont Saint-Michel. The island is connected to the coastline via a causeway, ringed with a defensive wall and dominated by the soaring spire of its abbey which dates back to the 8th century. The town of Saint Malo, although in neighboring Brittany, offers a similarly well-preserved center within forbidding walls. The charming town of Honfleur, with its unique wooden church and jumble of houses surrounding a peaceful harbor, was passed back and forth between the English and the French in the Middle Ages. More recent history is remembered in the sands of Normandy’s beaches.

Inside, the huge palace's 700 rooms are replete with gilded cornices, frescoed ceilings and carved details. Outside, it is surrounded by famously formal gardens with geometrically designed walkways, fountains, canals and terraces. Any visit to Versailles must include seeing the Hall of Mirrors, the King's Grand Chambers, the Grand Trianon and Marie-Antoinette's famous estate where she went to play at being a simple country girl. There is a lot to see, so plan your visit based on the chateau's four sections: the multiple-winged palace building, the vast gardens and two smaller palaces, the Grand Trianon and Pteit Trianon. Book your skip-the-line Palace of Versailles day trip from Paris and leave the long queues behind! Skip past the entrance lines with your priority-access ticket and then head inside the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Palace of Versailles.

In the afternoon, your tour continues on through the picturesque landscape of vineyards and rolling hills to the town of Epernay, the main entrepôt for the region’s sparkling wines. Here, you’ll visit the prestigious wine cellars of Moet & Chandon for another tasting session.

Among them is the 11th century Chateau d’Amboise, where Amboise’s most famous non-royal resident, Leonardo da Vinci worked.Da Vinci may be responsible for designs to an even more spectacular chateau – Chambord – namely the double-helix staircase. Chambord’s façade is one of the Loire’s most famous, rising from a solid base and becoming more fanciful the higher it climbs.Meanwhile, instantly recognisable Chenonceau is one of the great monuments of the French Renaissance.While all of these buildings express the aspirations of different ages, the rambling Chateau de Blois, offers a whole range of styles in one spot.

Many visitors know that the WWII battlefields and memorials in the Normandy region of France are a popular day trip from Paris but what they may not realize is that France abounds with WWI battlefields and memorials as well.

And although a trip to see the WWI battlefields from Paris is more time-consuming than visiting the Normandy sites, it's worth at least a day trip to one of the sites – and a longer trip takes you into Belgium as well, if you're country-counting! Here are the main sites to see.
