It&#8217;s a global center for culture, art, fashion, and gastronomy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Impressive wide boulevards and world-renowned landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral draw many visitors into the city every week. While these stunning sights are not-to-be-missed, there are a wealth of free attractions available in Paris that will keep any traveler happy.\u00a0Be sure to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ihg.com\/destinations\/us\/en\/france\/paris-hotels\">stay at a central Paris hotel, close to public transportation stops<\/a> for ease of visiting these various attractions.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #7ad39d;\"><strong>P\u00e8re Lachaise Cemetery<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Visiting a cemetery might not usually be high on your list of vacation activities but\u00a0P\u00e8re Lachaise Cemetery is not your average cemetery. It is the largest burial ground in the city and one of the most visited worldwide. The\u00a0P\u00e8re Lachaise Cemetery is also the last resting place of big names such as Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison. A keen photographer\u00a0can spend hours here enjoying the varied gravestones, and a walk up the main hill for the view is a must for all visitors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The site is very large, so it is important to familiarize yourself with the map before visiting. One tip is to use the online\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pere-lachaise.com\/perelachaise.php?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">virtual tour<\/a>\u00a0to make sure you don&#8217;t miss a thing by planning a route around the cemetery before arriving. Alternatively,\u00a0maps are available at the main gates, and guided tours can be arranged before arrival for a small fee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/4503851454_7e0eeb8542.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1299\" src=\"http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/4503851454_7e0eeb8542.jpg\" alt=\"Flickr Credit: Mild Mannered Photographer\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/4503851454_7e0eeb8542.jpg 500w, http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/4503851454_7e0eeb8542-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/alexerde\/4503851454\/sizes\/l\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\">Flickr<\/span><\/a> by Mild Mannered Photographer<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #7ad39d;\"><strong>Promenade Plantee<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Opened in 1993,\u00a0the Promenade Plantee or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\/france\/paris\/sights\/parks-gardens\/promenade-plantee\" target=\"_blank\">Coul\u00e9e Verte Ren\u00e9-Dumont<\/a>\u00a0as it is also known, is a tree-lined walkway on an old elevated railway line. The almost three mile trail is similar in style to &#8220;The High Line&#8221; park in New York City which opened six years later.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As well as views over the streets below, this walk also includes the Viaduc\u00a0des Arts. The arches of the bridge have been turned into galleries as part of the development that transformed the old railway line. It is now home to over 50 artists of various styles and a perfect showcase of creativity and luxury.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #7ad39d;\"><strong>Rue Denoyez<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Paris is famous for some of the world&#8217;s most impressive street art, and nowhere is it more accessible than at the Rue Denoyez. This simple alleyway in the previously rundown area of Belleville has turned into a popular tourist attraction and transformed the area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An almost-forgotten area of the city, it is now home to some of the most interesting cafes, shops, and\u00a0art in Paris. Considered by many to be an open-air gallery, the variety of street art is what makes this area so interesting, from large murals to 3D pieces and smaller more intricate designs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/15524483771_44fc818c8e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1300\" src=\"http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/15524483771_44fc818c8e.jpg\" alt=\"Flickr credit: Nelson Minar\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/15524483771_44fc818c8e.jpg 500w, http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/15524483771_44fc818c8e-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>Image via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nelsonminar\/15524483771\/sizes\/l\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\">Flickr<\/span><\/a>\u00a0by Nelson Minar<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #7ad39d;\"><strong>Champ de Mars Park<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Running southeast from the Eiffel Tower,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.parisinfo.com\/paris-museum-monument\/71152\/Parc-du-Champ-de-Mars\" target=\"_blank\">the Champ de Mars Park<\/a>\u00a0is a hugely popular green space thanks to its well-kept gardens and fantastic\u00a0views of the Eiffel Tower.
