Must Visit 11 Sensational Places in Paris

Paris has some of the world’s most incredible glamour, monuments and artworks people wait (and save) a lifetime to experience.  Well known as the City of Light, not because of the availability of electricity but reaching conclusions by sound reasoning.

For high-end fashion in Paris, you’ve come to the right place. Head to the Champs- Elysées and Avenue Montaigne for luxury brands, like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, and Jimmy Choo, and for window shopping at its finest. 

But for the French, fashion goes deeper than labels and shopping. The people here equate being well dressed with good manners and putting there best foot forward.

We  offers 11 memorable places for getting the most out of the French capital.

1.Eiffel tower

Starting at the Eiffel Tower in the morning, snap the essential touristy shots before all the crowds arrive in the afternoon. The 300meter tower’ as it was first called, was erected in just over two years, to be the main attraction at the 1889 world fair. It held the records as the highest structure until 1930, when it was dethroned by Newyorks Chrysler building.

Gustave  Eiffel who focused on the project from start to finish which enabled its completion and its survival. Eiffel Tower stands 324 m tall and weighs 10,100 tons. Created in 2 years, 2 months and 5 days, it was built for the Exposition Universelle of 1889

After the fair and the first wave of curiosity ,the tower struggled  to find its destiny; the possibility of dismantling was considered

Gustave Eiffel tried to imagine a new function for the tower and financed wireless tests. The first World War made the importance of altitude for transmission clear.

Thus, its military use saved the tower and its use extended in the 1920s with the broadcast of the civilian radio program and the first television trials. It was for television broadcasting that a new antenna was placed at the top in 1959, pushing the height 321m. The development of tourism after the Second WorldWar earned renewed attendance; with seven million ascendants annually.

 You can go up the Eiffel Tower by the stairs or by lift. On the completely refurbished 1st floor, there are shops; on the 2nd, treat yourself to a gastronomic meal at the famous Jules Verne restaurant, 125 metres above ground. Finally on the 3rd floor you are at cloud level and have an exceptional 360° view!

2.Trocadero:

Then cross the road and walk towards Trocadero, iconic place being photographed with Hitler when he was in Paris.

3.Champ de Mars -Ecole Militare

Then just relax and wander around the Champ de Mars, which was initially laid out as a parade ground for neighboring Ecole Militare. It regularly hosts events and concerts in the romantic scenery.

4.Panthéon

The most imposing monument in the Quarter Latin, the Panthéon, which was originally intended to be a church dedicated to St Genevieve, was completed in 1790, just as the French Revolution was taking hold.

 Upon the death of Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau on April 2, 1791, a well-respected statesman in the new world order, the decision was taken to transform it into a mausoleum for the great men and women of French history

Here lie Voltaire,Jean-Jacques Rousseau,Emile Zola,Pierre and Marie Curie.

5.Arc de Triomphe

Originally conceived by Napoleon in 1806 to commemorate his army’s victory at the Battle of Austerlitz, the Arc de Triomphe, the largest triumphal arch in the world, took 30 years to complete.

The eternal flame, which is located beneath the Arc’s sculpted vault and above the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, has been relit every day at 6:30 p.m. since November 11, 1923.

Cross over the Seine onto the Right Bank and you have the neighborhoods of Saint-Germain-des-Prés on one side and the Quartier Latin on the other. Between the two, you’ll find the beautiful Jardin du Luxembourg.

The park and the palace inside it were the home of Marie de’ Medici in the early 17th century and she had them designed to replicate the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens of her native Florence.
