Paris Travel Blog
Paris has a place on pretty much every traveler's bucket list. It is known as the most romantic city in the world, and is home to some world famous sights that are constantly shown in travel magazines, movies, and other works of art. Paris, the capital of France, has a population of over two million people and is one of Europe's most-visited cities. In addition to the Eiffel Tower, Paris has countless other gorgeous landmarks and monuments that add to the beauty of the spacious boulevards and their charming cafés.
The Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower has been a powerful and distinctive symbol of the city of Paris, and by extension, of France. At first, when it was built for the 1889 World's Fair, it impressed the entire world by its stature and daring design, and symbolized French know-how and industrial genius. As one of the most famous monuments in the entire world, the Eiffel Tower has become a symbol of Paris. Made of wrought-iron and standing at 324 meters tall, the Eiffel Tower is a sight to see. At night time the tower lights up in shimmering gold, and there are nice gardens surrounding the tower that make for a once in a lifetime picnic spot.
The Louvre Museum
The Louvre is the largest art museum in the world, but even those who aren't interested in art will stop here to witness the incredible design of the massive building and take pictures with the pyramids. There is one large pyramid and three smaller ones, the largest one being the main entrance to the museum and all four are constructed of glass and metal. Tourists love to pose on the concrete blocks around the Louvre courtyard and pose with the iconic pyramids.
Notre Dame Cathedral
This medieval Gothic cathedral has become known as a symbol of Paris, and there has even been a Disney movie set in the cathedral (The Hunchback of Notre Dame).
Construction of the cathedral began in 1160, though it has had its ups and downs throughout history. Nowadays, it stands tall and magnificent, and is a huge draw to anyone who loves impressive architecture and photo opportunities.
