This towering edifice was built for
the World Fair of 1889, held to commemorate the centenary of the
French Revolution. Named after its designer, Gustave Eiffel, it
stands 320m (1050ft) high and held the record as the world's tallest
structure until 1930. |

The Arc de Triomphe keeps the memory
of all the dead killed in World War I (1914/1918) with the grave
of the unknown soldier and a permanently burning flame of remembrance.
At national days, a flag is stretched through the arch. More information.
Finished in 1836. It magnificently crowns the hill from where
the Champs Elysées, the Avenue Foch, the Avenue de la Grande Armée
and nine other avenues radiate.

The Fondation Dina Vierny - Musée Maillol is situated
in one of the old townhouses of the Faubourg St Germain,
famous for its sculpted fountain. In the 18th century, the
design of the facade was entrusted to the sculptor Edme
Bouchardon, who chose the theme of the four seasons. That
is why the Hotel Bouchardon is often called the Four Seasons'
Fountain.

The Louvre, the richest of museums, has stood for more than
800 years and reflects stages of change in French life through
the centuries. Important rulers left their mark on the Louvre
by tearing down and rebuilding and gathering extraordinary
works of art. The earliest known building was a fortress
built about 1190; however, a Frankish tower or fortified
area probably existed at the end of the fifth century.
