Experience the thrill of seeing the iconic Eiffel Tower overlooking the River Seine and the whole of the city! If you have the energy you can walk to the second floor! Be sure to count the number of steps!! When Gustave Eiffel’s company built Paris’ most recognisable monument for the 1889 World’s Fair, many regarded the massive iron structure with scepticism. Today, the Eiffel Tower, which continues to serve an important role in television and radio broadcasts, is considered an architectural wonder and attracts more visitors than any other paid tourist attraction in the world.
Discover the magic of the River Seine as you take a trip on one of the 14 'Bateaux-mouches that cruise day and night along the river. Seeing Paris by boat gives you a different perspective, enabling you to take in the historic heart of the capital in a new way, from a different angle.
Approximately 38,000 objects from prehistory to the 21st century are exhibited in this glorious former palace. The Museum dates from 1190! Two of its most famous works you will definitely want to see are the famous painting of the Mona Lisa and the statue of the Venus de Milo.
Dating from the beginning of the 12th Century this cathedral has exquisite stained glass. Standing in splendour on an island in the middle of the River Seine this is a must for every visitor to Paris! It is still used as a place of worship for Catholics to this day.
Originally Montmartre was a tranquil village packed with vines and windmills, although two 'moulins' (windmills) and a small patch of vines do still exist today. Perched high on Paris's highest and most northerly hill, called the 'Butte', the area is tightly packed with houses, spiralling round the mound below the white dome of the basilica of Sacré-Coeur. This building which is essentially a church was started in 1884 but not completed until 1914. This is the most romantic part of Paris – a place in which to walk the narrow cobbled streets, peer down narrow alleys onto ivy-clad houses, and watch the world go by in atmospheric cafés. Artists have historically been attracted to Montmartre since the late 19th century; and it hosts many film, music and media artists.
Founded in 1794 by Henri Grégoire, the conservatoire is a museum of technological innovation - "a store of new and useful inventions". The Musée des Arts et Métiers was refurbished in 2000, and now exhibits over 2,400 inventions. They are split into seven collections: Scientific Instruments, Materials, Energy, Mechanics, Construction, Communication and Transport.
The most monumental of all triumphal arches, the Arc de Triomphe was built between 1806 and 1836. It stands at the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, also known as the "Place de l'Étoile". The whole decorative style is of the tradition of sculpture from the first half of the nineteenth century. The Arc de Triomphe stands 49.5 m (162 ft) tall, 45 m (150 ft) wide and 22 m (72 ft) deep. The triumphal arch was built in honour of those who fought for France; in particular, of those who fought during the Napoleonic Wars. Engraved on the inside and at the top of the arch are all of the names of the generals and the wars fought. There are inscriptions in the ground underneath the vault of the arch, which include the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I where the Memorial Flame burns. The Memorial Flame was ignited on 11 November 1923 and since that moment the flame has never been extinguished.
This is a wide boulevard established in 1667 leading down from the Arc de Triomphe. It is now best known for its theatres, cafés, and luxury shops, for the annual Bastille Day military parade, and as the finish of the famous Tour de France cycle race.
The Place de la Concorde, designed in 1755, is one of the major public squares in Paris and is the largest square in the capital city. It is at the eastern end of the famous Avenue des Champs Élysées. It was the site of many notable public executions of royalty during the French Revolution in 1789 including Queen Marie-Antoinette who, when told that her people were starving, is reported to have replied – “let them eat cake”! The Place is octagonal and at each of the eight angles is a statue, representing a French city. At the centre is a giant Egyptian obelisk, given to the city in the 19th century, flanked on both sides by fountains constructed at the time of its erection.
