A gothic masterpiece is what this famous cathedral is. Majestically sitting in the middle of the city this church has dramatic towers, vibrant stained glass, and a history that goes back to the 14 century. It took over 100 years to complete, but it was worth it. Climb the north tower to get a peek at the city from where the hunchback Quasimodo was looking out from.

Nightlife
There are plenty of spots for some great nightlife like the Place Vendome/St. Honoré. Just as long as you have a almost bottomless pocket, this will be the spot for you. Otherwise the 20 somethings usually hang out at Bastille and for a less touristy scene, the Menilmontant and Gambetta areas is your best bet.
