== Travel Tips == Paris hot air balloon... A trip down the Champs Elysees is encouraged when you visit Paris as this is the city's most famous street; you can see beautiful shops, sit and drink coffee from the many cafes or have a meal in a first class restaurant. When you visit this region of the city you will see it is a much more select area; the average tourist may find the accommodation expensive but more modest hotels can be found away from this area.
