Landmarks
* the Eiffel Tower (Tour d'Eiffel) (7th). One of the most famous (and tallest) landmarks in the world.
* Père-Lachaise Cemetery (20th). See the grave of Jim Morrison amongst many others.
* Catacombs (6th). Used to store the exhumed bones from the overflowing Paris cemetery.
* Arc de Triomphe (8th). The grave of the unknown soldier is under the arch.
Notre Dame de Paris
* Notre Dame Cathedral (4th). Impressive Gothic cathedral that was the inspiration for Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
* Sacré Coeur (18th). A church perched on top of the highest point in Paris. Behind the church is the artists' area, in front are spectacular views of the whole city.
* Sainte Chapelle (1st). Far more beautiful than the famous, but gloomy, Notre Dame.
* Pantheon (5th). Underneath, the final resting place for the great heroes of the French Republic; above, a marvellous view of the city.
* Chateau de Versailles (Versailles). On the outskirts of the city, the "must see" home of the Sun King Louis XIV.
* Grand Arche de la Defense (La Defense). A modern office-building variant of the Arc de Triomphe. Has a viewing platform.
Museums and galleries
* The Louvre (1st). One of the finest museums in the world of art, art-history, and culture through the ages.
* Musée d'Orsay (7th). home to the great artists of the 19th century (1848-1914) - Impressionists, post-Impressionists, and the rest...
* Centre Georges Pompidou (4th). the great museum of modern art, the building an attraction in itself...
* Picasso Museum (3rd). Contains the master's own collections.
* Rodin Museum (7th). His personal collection and archives, in a charming hotel and sprawling garden. |
