To thoroughly explore all the sights indicated on the map you will need two days. This also includes a boat ride on the Seine and a walk along the Avenue des champs Elysees.

We begin our journey around the city, like most tourists, from the Arc de Triomphe (A), erected by order of Napoleon, after the Battle of Austerlitz, in honor of the military revolutionary victories of France. Napoleon himself never lived to see the end of construction. You can climb the Arch for a fee. In our opinion, it is a waste of time, not so much money.

Here you can see the Eiffel Tower, walk along the Champs de Mars, and see the Invalides Palace (E), the construction of which began by order of Louis XIV on February 24, 1670 as a nursing home for honored army veterans (“disabled war veterans”). It was one of the first nursing homes in Europe. Next you will pass by the Alexander Bridge (F). The bridge was founded to commemorate the Franco-Russian Union by Emperor Nicholas II.

Anyone interested can visit this museum, and we go further and go to the walls of the Saint-Germain Church (H), next to which there are restaurants, a large number of which are scattered throughout the city center, where you can stop for lunch.

After lunch we continue our journey further, namely to the Montparnasse Tower (I). This is a modern skyscraper with 57 floors, height - 210 m. On the upper floors of the skyscraper there is a cafe, a souvenir shop and observation deck, which offers panoramic views of most of the city.

After visiting the tower, we set off further along the route we have compiled. Next stop is the Luxembourg Gardens (J). Very beautiful palace and park ensemble, located in the center of Paris. Here you can visit the palace, or you can limit yourself to a walk in the park, which will leave you with many positive emotions. Like many attractions in Paris, this park was laid out in 1611/1612. commissioned by the Medici family, Marie de Medici. Be careful, you don’t notice how time passes in the park and you can linger there for a long time. But time pushes us and we go to Notre Dame Cathedral (L).

On the way to the Cathedral, we will see a pompous building - the Pantheon (K). The Pantheon was built on the grounds of the Abbey of Saint Genevieve. Construction was carried out according to the vow of King Louis XV, who vowed to build an abbey in the event of his recovery from a serious illness new temple. The building was founded in 1758 and completed in 1789. By the time the temple was completed, the king had been overthrown, and the revolutionary government ordered the transformation of the church into a mausoleum of the great French.

Finally we come to the very heart of Paris - the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris (Notre Dame de Paris) (L), the construction of which began in 1163, under Louis VII of France, and ended only in 1315, along with the interior decoration . If the Cathedral is open, you can go upstairs for a fee.

Here, next to the Cathedral, you can buy tickets for a boat and take a ride along the Seine, around the island of Saint-Louis (M), then to the Eiffel Tower and back to Notre Dame Cathedral.

Enough for the first day. For the evening, you can leave a walk along the famous Avenue des champs Elysees (Champs Elysees) glorified by the French singer Joe Dassin.

The next day, start your journey from Place de la Bastille (N), which takes its name from the Bastille fortress destroyed during the French Revolution. The square is the intersection of more than ten streets and boulevards.

Next you will find the Louvre and the beautiful Tuileries Gardens (P), laid out by order of Catherine de Medici in 1564. Before this, there was a landfill here, right outside the walls of the Louvre fortress. After a stroll through the park, where you can also have lunch, head further through Place Vendôme (Q) to the famous Parisian cabaret Moulin Rouge, which means Red Mill.

The last point on our journey will be the Sacré-Coeur Basilica (Basilique du Sacré Cœur - “Basilica of the Sacred Heart” (S)) - a Catholic church built in 1876-1914. in Roman-Byzantine style, located on top of the Montmartre hill.

Montmartre Hill - highest point Paris - 130 meters, one of the most popular attractions of the French capital. You can climb Montmartre via the famous stairs or by cable car.
