4. Under the Equestrian Statue of Henri IV, on one side you'll see a bas-relief panel that shows a humble Henri IV bringing loaves of bread to the people of Paris after a siege. What the picture doesn’t explain is that HE was the one who had put Paris under siege!

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.
