The banks of the Seine in Paris is a World Heritage Site of France. Regarded as one of the most beautiful promenades in the world, the banks of the Seine afford splendid views of the surrounding attractions including the Eiffel Tower, the Cathedral of Notre-Dame and the Place de la Concorde. The wide squares and boulevards along the banks have inspired late 19th and 20th town planning all over the world.

Paris, Banks of the Seine was inscribed as a World Heritage Site during the 15th session of the World Heritage Committee which met in Carthage, Tunisia, on 9 - 13 December, 1991.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
