About Parigi

Parigi unisce grandi boulevard e monumenti sul fiume a terrazze di caffè, collezioni d'arte di fama mondiale e quartieri che sembrano villaggi.

La Senna attraversa il cuore della città, costeggiando l'Île de la Cité con Notre-Dame e la Sainte-Chapelle, la lunga facciata del Louvre e il Musée d'Orsay nella sua ex stazione ferroviaria. Più a valle, la Torre Eiffel si innalza sul Champ de Mars e l'Arco di Trionfo corona gli Champs-Élysées.

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