6.The Jardin du Luxembourg
is one of the capital’s oldest and most popular parks. It has numerous attractions, from toy boating to beekeeping, but for the last 30 years, it has been the home of Paris’ chess enthusiasts.
7.Tour Montparnasse
At 210 meters high, the Tour Montparnasse is the only true skyscraper in the city of Paris (for the moment) and is the second tallest structure behind the Eiffel Tower.
It deserves its place on this list as you literally cannot miss it. Plus, enjoy the panoramic view of the city from 56 stories up which are amazing
8.Catacombs de Paris
From one of the highest spots in the capital, we plunge down into one of its deepest and, for that matter, spookiest. This is the underworld of Paris. The Catacombs de Paris, which are located in a vast network of ancient quarries under the streets of Paris, contain the remains of some six million people.
The ossuary was created in 1738 and has been a tourist attraction since the early 19th century.
9.Jardin des Tuileries
Walking along the Axe Historique of Paris, the straight line which connects the Grande Arche at La Défense and the Louvre, will take you along the Avenue des Champs-Élysées and into the garden (Jardin)in French,
that is Created by Catherine de Medici in 1564, the park was fully opened to the public during the French Revolution (after some pretty horrific butchery took place there) and has been the place to stroll and relax since the 19th century.
10.Place de la Concorde
Place de la Concorde is situated at the end of the Champs-Elysées. Today it is famous for the Luxor Obelisk (a 3,300-year-old Egyptian obelisk erected on the square in October 1836), the surrounding prestigious hotels, and the two monumental fountains (Fontaine des Mers and Fontaine des Fleuves).
Created in 1772, Place de la Concorde was originally known for having been an execution site during the French Revolution. Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette (among others) were guillotined here. Between 1836 and 1846 the architect Jacques-Ignace Hittorf redesigned the square to become what it is today.
This site to put terrible memories behind and pacifying revolutionary and royalist passions, its 23 meters and 230 tons of pink granite took four years to travel from Luxor!
11.La Defense
Purpose –built at the beginning of the 1960’s,the office and headquarters of large companies that the capital ,for lack of space ,was difficulty accommodating.At the end of the vast esplanade stands the Grande Arche,which offered an echo of the Arc de Triomphe and Arc de Carrousel ,all along the same axis .
Frequently described as ‘the world’s most beautiful avenue’, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées is a Paris must-see. Tourists and Parisians can be spotted strolling at any time of day or night and at any time of year along this iconic two-kilometer stretch between the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe.
Like the Eiffel Tower, the avenue is a symbol of Paris. It is lined with luxury boutiques (Louis Vuitton, Mont-Blanc, Guerlain, Ferrari, etc.), flagship stores (Banana Republic, Abercrombie, Sephora, etc.) and nightclubs.
It is also the setting each year for major events such as the Bastille Day military parade, the arrival of the Tour de France and the Christmas lights. Finally, the Avenue des Champs-Elysées has some of the top museums in Paris: the Grand Palais, the Petit Palais, the Palais de la Découverte and the Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton.
Luckily, the city provides for her people and you’re rarely more than a few minutes walk from either a bakery or a pharmacy.
You’ll find quick and delicious pastries, croissants, tartine, juice, and café to keep you going, bandages and medication to treat your blisters and headaches.
