Rick Steves Best of Paris

55m 34s

In this one-hour celebration of the “City of Light” we cruise the Seine, marvel at the stained-glass glory of Sainte-Chapelle, dance on the riverbanks, and groove to cool jazz in a medieval cellar. We eat unforgettably French, enjoy perhaps Europe’s finest art in the Louvre, admire the palace of palaces at Versailles, climb the Eiffel Tower, and embrace that fabled joie de vivre in its hometown.
