The one and only Eiffel Tower. The iron tower
was built in 1889, for the World Exposition by
Gustave Eiffel. When the tower was unveiled, it
was almost going to be torn down. Was thought to
be hideous, and now is one of the most famous
Day & Night view attractions.
Since then it has attracted more than 220 million
of the Eiffel Tower. visitors.

wonders of the world, I wouldn’t be able to miss
out on the opportunity to see the Eiffel Tower.
After the amazing experience of seeing the Eiffel

Touring around in P aris, France
S ac Coeur-
re-
Built on a hill top, this area was first inhabited by
farmers. The Sacre -Coeur was built in 1873.
Since it’s location on top of a hill this monument
towers over the city. At it’s highest point makes it
higher than the top of the Eiffel Tower. Thanks to
this location, the Sacre-Coeur is one of the most
noticeable landmarks in all of Paris. With it being
so noticeable, why not get my own view of this
magnificent landmark.
Champs major events/celebrations. This is
is used for all
Elysees- The Champs Elysees
where Parisians celebrate New Years Eve. It is
one of the most prestigious avenues which is why I
want to see the amazing long stretch experience.
La D efense-well as the Defense

In this area are two
palace.Later came the project to build the ‘Grand
Arche’ was supported by the French President,
who wanted to have a 20th century version of the
arc. This cube-shaped building is 106 meters [348
ft] wide. The sides of the cube have offices, and
the rooftop of the Grand Arche is open to visitors.
The arc has a very modern design that draws the
eye and its nighttime fountains are amazing. It’s
definetly one thing that draws me in about La
Defense, that made me pick this location.

Louvre museum- It was originally a royal palace. The
Louvre became a public museum in the 18th century. It is
located at the heart of Paris. There are about 3,500 objects
on display. The most recent addition to the Louvre is the
glass pyramid, that functions as the museums main entrance.
The pyramid was built in 1989. I picked this famous
location, because it has many paintings, antiques, and
sculptures that came from many different cultures such as
the Romans, Egyptians, Greeks and more. Making this
museum even all the more interesting.
Arc de Triomhpe
The arc was built in 1806 for Napolean’s victories. The arc is
located in the middle of Place Charles de Gaulle, a large
circular area. At the top of the arc, there’s an observation
deck. From there people can see la defense, the Champs-
Elysees, and the Sacre- Coeur.
Notre Dame Cathedral
The site of Notre Dame has always been the religious center
of the city. Bishop Maurice constructed the building in 1163,
and took until 1345, for the cathedral to be completed.
During the revolution, a lot of the cathedral’s sculptures,
gargoyles, and interior was taken out or destroyed.
In the 19th century the Notre Dame began to be restored,
and took 20 years. The Notre Dame Cathedral is such an
important site to see, as well as being a religious place to
visit. Which is why I find it important that it was restored,
and also why I want to visit it.

beaches. This memorial honors American soldiers who died in
Europe during WWǀǀ. It is located on Colleville-sur-Mer on a cliff
that overlooks the Omaha Beach, that was one of the main
landing beaches of the Normandy invasion. This is a significant
place for me to visit because it represents American History, and
it gives the full meaning of this location both past and present.
Mo n t S ain t- Mic h ae l - One of the most iconic images of
France.
The village is built on a rocky hill top. It s considered to be one of
the western wonders of the world. It is also part of France’s most
visited attractions. It seems so interesting, and it reminds me of a
magical castle, which is why I picked to visit this location.
Art an d arc h ite c tu re in Ro u e n - It is known to be a great
place for Norman adventures. It has a beautiful gothic cathedral
that is known to be a favorite to Monet, who did several paintings
of the cathedral. The Norman city has been greatly restored, that
has kept it medieval architecture. It’s almost like a museum of
Normandy style housing. Not only that, but in this Normandy city,
is the very spot where Joan of Arc was tried for heresy, and was
6. Day 5 Jard in d u Lu xe m b u rg -
After all the touring in Paris, nothing was better than to
relax at the Luxemburg park. The park is 55 acres, and
was originally owned by the Duke of Luxemburg. At
the center of the park lies the Grand Bassin pond.
Where children can rent small boats to float in the
pond, as well as pony rides. There are two fountains
here at Jardin du Luxemburg. The most famous one is
Fontaine de Medicis. It’s a romantic fountain that was
designed in 1624. Around 1615-1627 the Palace of
Luxemburg was constructed. Although in 1794, during
the French Revolution, the palace was used as a prison.
It is still in use today to house the French Senate.
Jardin du Luxemburg ➚ Opera de Paris Garnier-
Since the time of it’s opening in 1989, the Opera de
Garnier is now mainly used for ballet performances.
Opera de Paris Garnier ➘ The theatre is one of the largest in the world. It is just
as impressive on the inside as well as the outside. The
marble Grand staircase has a height of 98 ft. It is simply
a marvelous place to stop for even just a visit; if you
don’t want to watch a performance.
Le Fouquet’s Cafe- It is a place that is
surrounded by history of famous guests who have sat
in those same seats. It is thee place to be seen at, while
you have an espresso, and can have the view of people
strolling by on the Champs Elysees.

MontMartre- The height of MontMarte reaches
up to 130 meters [427 ft]. It’s a historic area that
captured my attention to go to, because It also has a
railroad that takes you in the air that crosses the hill.
There is also the Montmartre cemetery with graves
of the greatest artists. By this area is also Maulin
Rouge to get dinner and see a show.
Place de la Concorde- In 1763 a large statue of
King Louis XV was put at the site to celebrate the
recovery of the King after having dealt with a bad
illness. The square around the statue was later built
in 1772. The statue was later replaced with
Guillotine the large statue, that was called Liberte
meaning Freedom. 1,119 people were beheaded
here like King Louis XV, Marie Antoinette, and
others. After the Revolution the name of the square There isn’t place I can go to, and not stop for some
was given several different names now, until it was
given its current name “Place de la Concorde”. I shopping ! Which is why I also chose to go to Faubourg
