About Paris

Paris forener storslåede boulevarder og monumenter ved floden med cafeterrasser, kunstsamlinger i verdensklasse og kvarterer, der føles som landsbyer.

Seinen løber gennem byens hjerte, forbi Île de la Cité med Notre-Dame og Sainte-Chapelle, Louvres lange facade og Musée d'Orsay i den gamle banegård. Længere nedstrøms rejser Eiffeltårnet sig over Champ de Mars, og Triumfbuen kroner Champs-Élysées.

Top-ranked sights in Paris: Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, 4th Arrondissement.
