Small Paris museums offer you an alternative to the large venues when you wish to avoid the crowds there. See which museums to visit here.

Fan of Klimt, Schiele & Co., I recently wanted to take a leisurely look at the Grand Palais blockbuster exhibition on Vienne 1900. I picked a weekday mid-afternoon, assuming I could whizz in and loiter through. Oops! I lined up before the entry (in freezing weather) for over an hour. And when I got a glimpse of the over-populated jostling going on inside, threw in the towel.

Chaillot Quarter originally was a village which was not counted as a Paris neighborhood until the 1800's.

From that time on, Chaillot Quarter became a very important part of Paris and one of the most visited ones. This neighborhood is one of the most elegant of the entire city and one which contains some of the most luxurious and biggest mansions as well.

While being in the area of Chaillot Quarters, visitors could meet many interesting places, such as for example, the area of the Trocadero Plaza which contains spots such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Marine's Museum, among others. Chaillot Quarter's museums are among the most amazing museums of not only Paris but all France as well.

Did you know that the Champs Elysees Avenue is actually the second widest avenue in Europe, and if you start at the Arc de Triomphe, you can then walk all the way down the avenue eventually reaching the Tuileries Gardens.

The Champs Elysees is without a doubt one of the most prestigious and most famous avenues in the world, and is very popular with the rich and famous for a shopping trip with its luxury speciality shops and fantastic cafes.
