It is understandable why Paris is always hoarded with crowds throughout the year. Sometimes you cannot help but think of purchasing a day's worth of exclusively touring one attraction for yourself only but this is not possible as all attractions in Paris are open to the public. Here are some ways you can find yourself a good view of the amazing attractions in Paris.
High season in Paris is best avoided, especially when you visit Place du Tertre, including the tourist shops and cafes located below the architecture. This nineteenth century basilica has always attracted millions of visitors annually and blame that all to its old world charm that you can no longer find it anywhere else. The crowds are an attraction too, like you are waiting in line for the best blockbuster movie of all time. The best time to visit the basilica is at the earliest in the morning or the late afternoon in which the sunset can give the best view of the basilica and surprisingly it is not that crowded anymore. Wander through the streets of the Rue des Abbesses or you can go up to one of the last surviving vineyards of Paris locally known as les vignes de Montmartre just at the back of Sacré-Coeur located in 14-18 Rue des Saules. A good way to tour after the basilica is going to the old market street in Rue des Martyrs where you can find the best places to eat, shop and explore. Start your way in Place des Abbesses then go downhill to find the best gourmet stores, boutiques and cafes.
Cathedral of Notre Dame is something you cannot avoid, especially the crowd. The lines are always long all day each day, particularly if you want to take a look at the architecture's classic interior because the gorgeous windows is just a must see that you should not miss when in Paris. You can view the gargoyles close from its towers or you descend down the crypt which has 2 separate entrances. Late weekend on summer season there is fewer crowds but the best bet for explorers is to book a ticket for their musical performance that takes place on evenings. Purchase the tickets either at the cathedral or online. After you have explored the Cathedral, you should explore its surrounding gardens which you can view the exterior of the Cathedral. Treat yourself to some Berthillon sorbet or ice cream right at the Île Saint-Louis.
