This is from the top of Centre Pompidou. You should definitely go there and see this amazing view for yourself. As for advice, I don't think I have anything specific (unless you have specific questions)...but if I had to say something I guess it would just be to try things you wouldn't normally do. Paris is great for wandering around and getting lost. Just don't do what I did one night and get stuck somewhere on the other side of the city after the trains finished up...trust me, it can take hours to walk a few blocks. have fun xox.
Where in Paris is this? I'm going next month and am really looking forward to it. I've never been to Europe at all. Any advice for first-time visitors?
