I recently had the good fortune to collaborate with Seattle-based couture designer, Justin Zachary, on a project I produced featuring red gowns that have appeared on high-profile individuals at the Academy Awards, Vanity Fair parties, and other significant events. A beautiful woman in a stunning red dress makes a bold statement and is always a head turner. -- John Joseph Martinotti

1. EIFFEL TOWER The best place to start your Paris adventure is none other than the Eiffel Tower. The most popular spot to see this magnificent monument is from Trocadero where you see most of the iconic shots of this engineering marvel. After getting off at the Trocadero Metro station, it is only a couple of steps away before you behold this beauty. Walk across to the other side to view it from the green grassy lawn of Champs de Mars. Be prepared for your bags to be inspected by security and if you plan on going up the tower, purchase your tickets in advance and be prepared for the long lines. We decided that the Eiffel is best enjoyed standing on the ground and looking up at it. Don’t forget to come back at 9 pm to view the sparkling light show that goes on for a full 5 mins and plays every hour. TIP: Take a river cruise to get an unobstructed and up close view of the tower and light display.
9. P
PLACE DE LA CONCORDE A short walk from the Musee L’Orangerie is the Place de la Concorde. It is famous for being the place where King Louis XVI was guillotined. Here you can find the two fountains of River Commerce and Navigation as well as the Luxor Obelisk and the Roue de Paris, a transportable ferris wheel that can be assembled in 72 hours and dismantled in 60 hours by a specialist team. Head west or follow the crowds to the Champs Elysees or head east to the Jardin de Tuileries.
At the end of the Champs Elysees is the Arc de Triomphe. This monument honors those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I. Go down the stairs to the tunnel and find the line for those wanting to go up this monument for a magnificent view of the city. If you don’t want to go up the monument, go to the front of the line and go up the stairs to come up to the monument viewing area.
