Or join a river cruise along the Seine to admire the city center’s grand monuments, churches, and bridges from the water. Drop into the Louvre to see the famed Mona Lisa and the exquisite Venus de Milo. Allow time for a lunch of steak frites, a glass of red wine, and people-watching in a sidewalk café.
