Paris’ achievements and exhibitions in science, technology, and engineering have long been overshadowed by its other charms. However, at one time, Paris was the center of the industrial and scientific universe. The exhibits in science, technology, and engineering are amongst the best in the world.
La Cité des Scienceset del'Industrie Métro: Porte de la Villette
This is one of the largest and most impressive science and industry museums in the world. It is modern, entertaining, informative, and interactive. Children and adults alike will be astounded. I highly recommend a visit to this museum. Closed Monday. Website: http://www.cite-sciences.fr/english
One could spend at least a day at this museum and the surrounding park. But a great idea is to take a relaxing mid-day cruise down Napoleon’s Canal St. Martin to Place Bastille. Website: http://www.canauxrama.com/e_index.html
Musée des Arts et Métiers Métro: Arts et Métiers or Réaumur-Sébastopol
Not as entertaining as la Cité des Scienceset del'Industrie. However, it is filled with fascinating historical artifacts of science, technology, architecture, and science. This is truly a hidden gem of Paris and to those who have any interest at all in technology, engineering, and science. Closed Monday. Website: http://www.arts-et-metiers.net
Palaisde laDécouverte Métro: Champs Elysées-Clemenceau or Franklin-D.-Roosevelt
Geared more towards students, it is located right off the Champs-Élysées, this. There are exhibits on Astronomy, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Geosciences, Life Sciences, and Astrophysics.
Musée de l’Informatique Métro: La Défense
In short, it is an exhibit on the history of computing. There are displays of old computing devices and an exhibit on the history of the Internet and the World Wide Web. There are also stunning views of Paris from the top of the Grande Arche. Website: http://www.museeinformatique.fr

I am glad! It is pleasant to see that you are enthusiastic about your document. If you get around Paris you could check the Paris subway system for traveling within Paris city. Also check the Paris travel guide before planning your trip.
Keep up the great work and I’ll return for more! Cheers!

I must say that overall I am really impressed with this article. If you are flying to Paris you can check the Paris airports for transfer to Paris guide and general information. If your destination is Charles de Gaulle Airport check the airport tranfser to Paris options. The fastest and cheapest transfer mode is using the RER train line B (Blue)
Keep up the great work and I’ll return for more! Cheers!

| Italy Video Blog: Romantic Venice
|

On our last small group tour of Italy, about half the group (4 of us) took a 2-day extension of the trip to Venice. It exceeed my expectations in that it is more romantic than I could have possibly imagined. Venice is one of those unique places on earth because it really is a city built into the sea.
