Tour Eiffel
The Paris' landmark : in 1889 Gustave Eiffel gave the French flag a 300 m (984 ft.) pole to commemorate the revolution centenary.
Talk about Paris and you remember of the Eiffel Tower. Gustave Alexandre Eiffel's tower rises 1,056 feet above the banks of the Seine in all its steel girder glory. The man who gave the Statue of Liberty a backbone designed this quintessential Parisian symbol merely as a temporary exhibit for the Exhibition of 1899 and managed to rivet together all 7,000 tons of it in under two years.

This arch was built in memory of Napoléon's Great Army at the top of the Champs-Elysées.


Champs Elysées

Notre Dame
The major french religious building, masterpiece of gothic architecture.
The 12th-to-14th century cathedral is a study in gothic beauty and gargoyles, at one solid with squat, square facade towers and graceful with flying buttresses around the sides. It's been remodelled, embellished, ransacked and restored so often that it's a wonder that it still has any architectural integrity at all.

The Louvre
The Grand Louvre – a former royal palace opened to the public as an art gallery when the French Revolution struck – has 195,000 square feet of galleries, five million visitors annually, and over 30,000 works on display spanning three millennia. Louvre houses a remarkable collection of antiquities from Greece, Etruria, Rome, Egypt, and the Orient. More than anything else have a look on Vinci's Monalisa, Venus de Milo, and Winged Victory of Samothrace that have made The Louvre their home.

Musee d'Orsay
In 1986, Paris consolidated most of its collections of French art from 1848 to World War I in the most unlikely of spots: an old converted train station. Although the Orsay has earlier works by the likes of Ingres and Delacroix, its biggest draw is undoubtedly those crowd-pleasing impressionists.
