| 1. Musée de Louvre - 99 Rue de Rivoli, Paris 75001
First opened during the revolution in 1793. With over 300,000 artworks, antiquities, sarcophagi and statues including
the incredible Venus de Milo, the Louvre is a truly unmissable experience.
2. Champs-Elysées & Arc de Triomphe - Champs Elysées, Paris 75008
Voie Triomphale is an excellent place to begin a walking tour of central Paris. Napoleon's tribute to the French army,
the Arc de Triomphe offers splendid views at the centre of the world's first traffic roundabout with the Voie Triomphale
and Champs -Elysees descending elegantly to the Louvre and Place de la Concorde respectively.
3. Eiffel Tower - Champs de Mars, Paris 75007
The most spectacular views of Paris are witnessed from all floors of the Eiffel Tower. It is possible to walk most of
the way up and around this fascinating metal structure. A lift completes the journey to the top.
4. Notre-Dame Cathedral - Place du Parvis Notre Dame, Paris 75004
Begun in 1163 but not completed until 1361, it fell into ruin after the revolution but was brought back to life after
the success of Victor Hugo's 1831 novel. The addition of the gargoyles, spire and self-sculpture by architect Eugene Voillet-le
Duc remain areas of contention.
5. Place de la Concorde - Place de la Concorde, Paris 75008
Very busy landmark square at the end of the Champs Elysees. A true Parisian experience.
