The most famous sights in Paris

The Eiffel Tower - a symbol of Paris and one of the most famous buildings in the world. This steel tower, 324 meters high, was built in 1887-89 for the World Exhibition. Originally, it was only supposed to stand here for 20 years. The tower has 3 platforms, at heights of 57, 115 and 276 meters. It is one of the most visited monuments in France. It offers a breathtaking view of the entire city.

Louvre - one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. Before Covid, the Louvre had over 10 million visitors per year, making it the most visited museum in the world! Over 35,000 works of art are on display in this monumental palace with a rich history, including Leonardo da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo statue.

Notre-Dame Cathedral - an iconic Gothic cathedral built in the 12th century. It is famous for its impressive architectural style, extensive stained glass windows and famous bells. Unfortunately, the cathedral was seriously damaged by fire in 2019. Currently, work is underway to reconstruct it…

Arc de Triomphe, a monumental arch, built in the classicist style at the beginning of the 19th century. It was built by Napoleon Bonaparte in honor of the victory in the Battle of Slavkov. Inside the arch you can visit a small museum dedicated to the history of the building. From this impressive monument you have a wonderful view of the Champs-Élysées. The view gets even better when you go up the arch to the observation deck. Avenue Champs-Élysées, Paris' most famous boulevard, connects the Arc de Triomphe with Place Charles de Gaulle and Place de Concorde. And a little interesting thing at the end – the famous Tour de France cycling race ends here every year.

Sacré-Coeur - this white Byzantine and Romanesque basilica is known for its imposing appearance and panoramic view of the city. Thanks to the white stone from which it was built, which has self-cleaning properties, it shines directly into the distance. In the belfry you will find the largest bell in France, which weighs almost 19 tons! The Sacré-Coeur Basilica is located at the top of Montmartre hill.

Montmartre – a hill on which, in addition to the basilica, lies a picturesque district known for its narrow streets. You can reach this highest natural place in Paris either by cable car or by a staircase with 222 steps. Many artists live and work in this part of Paris – for example, Claude Monet or Vincent van Gogh had their studios here in the past.

Moulin Rouge – the most famous French cabaret. You can find it in the Pigalle district at the foot of Montmartre. The Moulin Rouge or Red Mill, which has a cabaret on the roof, refers to the history when there were several windmills at the top of Montmartre. Several films and documentaries have been made about this well-known enterprise. Many famous artists performed in the cabaret, such as Josephine Baker, Frank Sinatra or Édith Piaf.

Jardin du Luxembourg - one of the most beautiful gardens in Paris. The Jardin du Luxembourg covers an area of 23 hectares. In addition to beautiful flower beds, fountains and rows of trees, you will also find the Luxembourg Palace, the seat of the French Senate.
