Places of Interest in Paris

A. The Eiffel Tower

You couldn’t possibly visit Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower. Even if you do not want to visit this world-famous structure, you will see its top from all over Paris. The tower rises 300 metres tall; when it was completed at the end of the 19th century, it was twice as high as the Washington Monument, at that time the tallest structure in the world.

B. Montmartre

Above all, Montmartre located north of downtown Paris is known for its many artists who have been omnipresent since 1880. The name Montmartre is said to be derived from either Mount of Martyrs or from Mount of Mars. Until 1873, when the Sacré-Coeur was built on top of the hill, Montmartre was a small village, inhabited by a farming community. At present the Sacré-Coeur Basilica located on top of the Montmartre hill is one of Paris’s major tourist draws.

C. The Notre Dame

Not the largest cathedral of the world, the Notre Dame might be the most famous of all cathedrals. The gothic masterpiece is located on a small island in the heart of the city. The site of the Notre Dame is the cradle of Paris and has always been the religious centre of the city. The Celts had their sacred ground here, the Romans built a temple to worship Jupiter. A Christian basilica was built in the 6th century and the last religious structure before the Notre Dame construction started was a Romanesque church.

The Centre Pompidou is home to one of the world’s most important museums of modern art, but it also contains a very popular library, a bookshop, a movie theatre and a panoramic terrace.
