Paris offers the largest concentration of tourist attractions in France, and possibly in Europe. For the traveller spending just a few days in Paris, this list offers more than enough choice to fill the time.
Trocadero
It is built on a hill opposite the Eiffel Tower and provides excellent views over the city. It was laid out for the World Fair in 1878. This open space provides one of the best photo chances on the tour with wonderful views of the Eiffel Tower.
Notre Dame Paris
It started to build in 1163 and took 185 years to finish. It remains one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in Europe. This is the official center of Paris; the point from which all distances in France are measured.
The Eiffel Tower
It was Gustav Eiffel who planned this huge, iron-work tower in 1887, with observation decks(露台)that provided a bird's eye of the city. It's original licence was for 20 years at which time it was due to be destroyed. But destruction of the national symbol was unthinkable.
L'Hotel des Invalides
It was used as homes and hospital for aged and injured soldiers. Completed in 1709, L'Hotel des Invalides now holds museums relating to France’s military history, but some of the buildings continue to be used as a home and hospital for those who used to serve in the army especially during the wars.
The Louvre
It is the world’s largest and most visited museum. It is famously home to Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. It used to be a Royal Palace with its history dating back to the 1100's.
