 Take a Stroll Along the Seine River for the Ultimate Paris Bucket List Activity

There is nothing better than a promenade along the Seine in summer. The little green stands are set up selling souvenirs you see artists painting along the river, and during July-August, they even put in beach chairs and umbrellas along the banks in some parts so you feel you're at the beach in Paris!

Walking along the Seine on a quiet afternoon spent lazily, it would be such a beautiful thing about Paris in any bucket list.

Ghostly metro stations

One can only make several guesses as to what may possibly be hidden within such a great metro network in Paris. Among them is that at least 14 of them are either 'never used', 'abandoned' or 'no longer in use'. The Porte des Lilas station is even rented out as a film set by production companies.

The Arc de Triomphe: Victory in Stone

Standing majestically at the center of one of the world's most famous roundabouts, Arc de Triomphe stands proud. It was envisioned by Napoleon in the Roman style as a gateway to the city that would be a symbol of glory to the imperial army inspired from the arches of yesteryear. It was also part of Napoleon's plan to marry Marie-Louise of Austria under the arch, but the construction had only reached a few feet from the ground when the wedding occurred. Instead, a scale model was produced so that they could walk through it! Thirty years after construction had begun, the monument was finally finished and unveiled in 1836 in commemoration of Armies of the Revolution and the Empire. After the demolition of World War I, a tribute to the Unknown Soldier was initiated in the center of the arch. At 6:30 PM each day, there is a service to commemorate those who have died, and since 1923, a flame has been burning by this site that has never been extinguished.
