  7. Paris • The most exciting place I’ve ever visited is Paris, France.Hundreds of years old, Paris is a city full of culture and romance. While I was there I visited many museums and national monuments including the Louvre and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. I rode an elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower, which was built in 1887, and looked out onto the city from the top. My favorite excursion was the moonlit boat ride along the Seine River where I viewed Paris’s historical buildings all lit up.Because of the fun and interesting ventures I took part in, my vacation in Paris is a trip I will never forget.
