About Paris

Paris forener praktfulle boulevarder og monumenter langs elven med kaféterrasser, kunstsamlinger i verdensklasse og bydeler som føles som landsbyer.

Seinen renner gjennom hjertet av byen, forbi Île de la Cité med Notre-Dame og Sainte-Chapelle, Louvres lange fasade og Musée d'Orsay i den gamle jernbanestasjonen. Lenger nedstrøms reiser Eiffeltårnet seg over Champ de Mars, og Triumfbuen kroner Champs-Élysées.

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