Places to See in Paris
Paris is a dream destination for many travelers, but the vast range of sights can make choosing how to spend your time difficult. Here are the top sights:
1. Le Tour Eiffel: One can not go to Paris without going hundreds of feet in the air and seeing Paris from above. Visitors will marvel at the intricate patterns of the streets and the bustling neighborhoods that make up Paris. This is a breathtaking experience, thought not for those afraid of heights.
2. Museé de Louvre: The Louvre art museum has more than 35,000 art works on exhibit, ranging from Egyptian artifacts to sculpture to Renaissance paintings. The frequent traveling exhibits are always exceptional quality. The most famous artwork in the Louvre is Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa".
3. L'Arc de Triumphe: Overlooking the Champs-Elysees, the Arc de Triumphe is a historical marker honoring the Frenchmen who fought for France in history and it houses the World War I tomb of the unknown soldier as well as the eternal flame. Climb the stairs to the top to get a fabulous view of the Champs-Élysées.
4. Les Champs-Élysées: A little more than a mile of busy shops, restaurants and the best people watching in Paris, the Champs-Élysées is lined with chestnut trees. An excellent spot for shopping, eating and sitting at an outdoor café watching the world go by.
5. Le Quartier Latin: The Latin Quarter, like so much of Paris, is full of little cafés and restaurants, but its raison d'être is to serve as home to many universities, schools and throngs of students from all over the world. A youthful, exciting area of the Left Bank.
6. Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris: This imposing architectural masterpiece is a Parisian landmark. Situated on as island in the Seine River, the Gothic cathedral dates from the 12th century. One must not miss this when in Paris - even just from the outside.

For long distance travel, efficiency and comfort are desirable, and super medium jets have it all. Efficiency through technology and design means lower overall running costs, and being able to use a greater number of airports than commercial carriers can means you save on travel time because you can operate out of airports that are closer to home and to your destinations. Extra comfort for passengers comes from stand up cabins, stand up lavatories, and large cabin spaces.
