TOP 3 ATTRACTIONS IN PARIS
Eiffel Tower:
This Tower, which happens to be the most iconic symbol of the capital city of France wasn’t always so beloved in the past. It was constructed by Gustave Eiffel for the World Fair in 1889, the tower wasn’t meant to remain standing when the fair is over, but as it was half-loved and half-hated by Parisians, inventors saw some usefulness in it, and the tower escaped being dismantled. Over a century later, the Eiffel Tower has always attracted millions of visitors to Paris.
The tower gets illuminated at night, and it even sparkles every hour for about 5 minutes if you stick around more.
Musée du Louvre:
This was once the home of French Royals; it has since become the best and even the largest art museum in the world. When you visit this place, you should remember to take a selfie with I.M Pei’s popular Louvre Pyramid, or you can just go straight inside to feed your eyes with classic artworks such as the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace and the Venus de Milo.
Notre-Dame de Paris:
This is one of the most highly recognized churches ever; the Notre-Dame Cathedral impressively represents the French Gothic architecture. This place is known to be the site of Napoleon’s coronation and also the setting for Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.
You should know that visiting the Notre-Dame Cathedral is free. However, you can’t avoid waiting on the line for about 30 minutes.
