Visit Duration: 30 mins
One of the most popular attractions in Paris, Inspired by Rome's Arch of Titus, the Arc de Triomphe is located
in Paris in the world’s largest traffic roundabout and is the biggest and tallest triumphal arch in the world -
about 49 meters (161 ft.) high and 44 meters (144 ft.) wide. Arc de Triomphe (Paris) is located 2 kilometers
northwest from the place de la Concorde in the middle of the well know and extremely busy "Place Charles
de Gaulle" (or better known to Parisians as “Place de l’Étoile”). This 161 foot triumphal arch was
commissioned by Napoléon in 1806 to honor his imperial victories but it is only 20 years after he died that the
Arc de Triomphe was finished, in 1836.
Some important events took place under the great Arc de Triomphe. The greatest state funeral, for one, was
of Victor Hugo. His coffin was placed in 1885 here while many Parisians came to place their last respect. On
the other hand, some of France most humiliating moments are also related to this place, notably in 1871 and
1940. The sights of German troops walking under the arch are not to be forgotten by the French people.
Important tip – do not cross the square in order to reach it as this is Paris's busiest traffic circuit and this is Address: Pl. Charles-de-Gaulle,

11:50 Eiffel Tower / Tour Eiffel
The Eiffel Tower, one of the must sees in Paris, can't be missed from any spot while walking around in the
city. It was built by the French engineer Gustave Eiffel which was already famous at the time for building
bridges. He spent several years building the Eiffel Tower as a monument for the World Exhibition in 1889.
Although today, it is without doubt one of the most recognizable monuments in Europe, one that can be
compared to the Statue of Liberty in New York, the Big Ben is London and the Taj Mahal in India, it was not
supposed to be permanent when it was first introduced. After the Eiffel Tower was built, it faced a lot of
criticism from Paris artistic and literary elite. The fact is, that the tower was almost torn down sometime in
1909 while the only reason it was eventually kept was due to its ability to provide a perfect platform for
transmitting antennas.
Slowly, the Eiffel Tower became a permanent part of Paris view, settling in the hearts of Parisians as the
symbol of Paris providing it with the most beautiful and famous skyline during the evening.
It is possible to climb up the stairs as far as the third floor. Going up to the top though is possible only using
the elevator. From the top of the Eiffel Tower, Paris at 1,050 ft (320 meters) is very romantic, especially in the Address: Quai Branly, Trocadéro/Tour Eiffel,

09:50 Notre Dame / Notre Dame de Paris
Visit Duration: 1 hour
Many Parisians and tourists alike consider this place to be one of Paris top 10 attractions alongside the Holy Chapel , the Eiffel
Tower , The Louvre Museum and others.
The Notre Dame Cathedral (Paris), the most visited site in Paris (10 million tourists each year), lies in the true heart of Paris and
by some even of entire France. With so many people visiting the Notre Dame Cathedral of Paris unforgettable setting on the
Seine, it has always been one of Paris top attractions. The Notre Dame Cathedral Paris is not only a Gothic architecture
masterpiece but a site which was also the focus of Catholic Paris for 700 years. Although the cathedral is not France's oldest or
largest cathedral, it has very little completion in beauty and architectural harmony.
The work on the cathedral started on 1163 by Maurice de Sully, who was the bishop of Paris at the time. It took 182 years to
complete this building in the summer of 1345. As Paris has changed , Notre Dame Cathedral (Paris) also changed and grown
over the years trying to fit into the rapid changes Paris went through. At some point, the cathedral was already scheduled for
deconstruction. It was mostly due to the incredible popularity of the book Hunchback of Notre-Dame(by Victor Hugo's) which
restored the interest in the Gothic period, the cathedral was stayed untouched while eventually restoring its original glory. In the
middle of the nineteenth century, after it was severely damaged during the French Revolution, the world famous Architect

Viollet-le-Duc was placed in charge of the renovations.

The Notra Dame cathedral is practically huge, The interior alone is 425 foot long, 150 foot wide and 115 foot high. It can
practically host 5000 worshippers at a given pray. Some if its exceptional structures include the spectacular rose windows. Pay Admission: €10
special notice to the 30 foot wide one rising above the huge pipe organ. Also notice the beautiful window to the north, which has :
remained untouched for the last 700 years! Opening Hours: 7:45am-6:45pm

10:55 Holy Chapel / Sainte Chapelle
The Holy Chapel (Paris) in French - La Sainte Chapelle, was built by King Louis IX to host the remains of the
True Cross, including the original Crown of Thorns which was purchased from the emperor of Constantinople.
Today the Holy Chapel Paris is considered among the highest achievements of the Rayonnant period of
Gothic architecture and is the only surviving building of the Capetian Royal Palace on the Île de la Cité .
This truly amazing architectural treasure owns the oldest stained-glass windows in France. To truly
experience the effect of the Holy Chapel try to visit it when the sun is shining - 65 hundreds square feet of
stained glass that stands above painted stonework of 1130 biblical figures appears to let the colorful light flow
through the windows.
Although heavily damaged during the French revolution and later restored during the 19th century, the Holy
Chapel retains one of the most extensive collections of 13th century stained glass anywhere in the world.
Plan to visit on a sunny weekday morning when near the Holy Chapel, Paris is still quiet and you can avoid

named "Centre Pompidou" hosts about six million visitors every year strolling through hundreds of art works
created in the last 100 years. The building of the Pompidou Center in Paris will not leave you indifferent when
you will first see it. In the late 70’s when it was first opened it was not accepted well by the Parisians but most
seems to grow into liking it and it is now one of Paris's known marks. It is named after the French president
Georges Pompidou and was designed by Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano by putting the building's internals
(mostly brightly painted pipes and elevators) on the outside. The The Pompidou Center Paris went through a
serious internal facelift in 2000. The building was, and is considered until today a radical architectural
statement.

the way from the Montparnasse up to the Sacré-Coeur hill which will be on your right. A spectacular view of

13:30 Louvre Museum / Musee du Louvre
At the top of Paris top 10 attractions, The Louvre Museum (Paris) is in fact the largest art museum in the world and the home for
one of the finest art collections anywhere to be seen including two of the most famous painted woman - the Mona Lisa and
Venus de Milo just to name two out of the 30,000 exhibits displayed in the Louvre Museum.
The Louvre Paris was originally built as a fortress around year 1200 and was reconstructed again around 1650 for the personal
use of the king. It was in 1793 that the French revolutionists have decided that this should become French’s first national
museum.
Carefully planning of the tour in the Louvre Museum is important and will help you make the most out of it rather than making
your way through the crowds, coming out tired and most probably disappointed. Remember that this gigantic museum stretches
for almost half a mile (750 meters). Our best advice for the first time visitor would be – decide upfront what are the works that
you must see, go for those and then settle in one of the sections for a pleasant stroll through the works of art and historical
artifacts.
It was François the first and Louis the 14th who purchased most of these paintings and sculptures while the rest were
contributed or purchased (and in many cases simply taken) by Napoleon later to be returned to the original owner’s family.
The most famous smile in the world, better known as the Mona Lisa, was ordered by François I from Leonardo the Vinci. It
