The Eiffel Tower is an iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. It was named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower.
-
The Louvre or Louvre Museum is one of the world's largest museums and a historic monument. A central landmark of Paris, France, it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the 1st arrondissement.
-
Notre-Dame may not be France's oldest (construction begun in 1163, completed in 1345) or largest cathedral, but in beauty and architectural harmony it has few peers - as you can see by studying the facade from the square in front. A separate entrance leads to the 387 stone steps of the south tower that offers an iconic view of Paris.
-
With its cinemas, cafés, luxury specialty shops and clipped horse-chestnut trees, the Champs-Élysées is arguably one of the world's most famous streets, and is one of the most expensive strips of real estate in the world. Several monuments are also on the street, including the Arc de Triomphe and the Place de la Concorde.
-
The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, at the western end of the Champs-Élysées.
-
Known for its student life, lively atmosphere and bistros, the Latin Quarter is the home to a number of universities including Sorbone and the École Normale Supérieure
-
Montmartre has become almost too charming for its own good. Yes, it feels like a village (if you wander off the beaten path); yes, there are working artists here (though far fewer than there used to be); and yes, the best view of Paris is yours for free from the top of the hill. That's why on any weekend day, year-round, you can find hordes of visitors crowding these cobbled alleys, scaling the staircases that pass for streets, and queuing to see Sacré-Coeur at the summit.
-
The Palace of Versailles is a royal château built by Louis XIV around 1680. Then, Versailles was a country village. Now, it is a suburb of Paris, only about 15 min by RER express commuter train from downtown Paris
