The Avenue des Champs-ร‰lysรฉes is one of Paris's most famous and vibrant streets, offering an exciting mix of shops, cafes, restaurants, theaters, and car showrooms. Whether you're strolling down the avenue during the day or night, you'll feel the unmistakable Parisian charm that fills the air. By day, the avenue is bustling with people enjoying the high-end boutiques and enjoying the lively atmosphere, while in the evening, the avenue transforms as the small yellow bulbs on the trees light up, casting a warm and magical glow over the street.


4. Arc de Triomphe
The Arc de Triomphe is one of Paris's most iconic landmarks, standing proudly at the top of the Avenue des Champs-ร‰lysรฉes. Commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte after his victory at Austerlitz in 1805, it was completed in 1836 and honors those who fought and died for France during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

The arch stands 50 meters tall and is decorated with stunning sculptures, reliefs, and inscriptions of battles and victories. Beneath it lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where a flame is lit each evening in remembrance of those who died during the wars.

Visitors can climb to the top of the Arc for spectacular panoramic views of Paris, including a clear view of the Champs-ร‰lysรฉes, Eiffel Tower, and other famous landmarks. The monument is particularly beautiful at night when it is illuminated and stands as a symbol of French pride and history.

A visit to the Arc de Triomphe is a must-see for anyone in Paris, offering both historical significance and breathtaking views of the city.

5. Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is perhaps the most iconic landmark in Paris and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. Standing 330 meters tall, it was designed by Gustave Eiffel and was originally constructed for the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.

The tower is made of wrought iron and was initially met with some criticism for its unconventional design, but it quickly became a beloved symbol of Paris and modern engineering. Today, it stands as the centerpiece of the Paris skyline and offers breathtaking views of the city from its observation decks.

Visitors can take an elevator or climb the 300+ steps to the second level, where you'll find stunning views of landmarks like the Champs-ร‰lysรฉes, Louvre Museum, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Seine River. The top level offers a more expansive view of the entire city, and on clear days, you can even see the surrounding countryside.

The Eiffel Tower is particularly magical at night when it is illuminated and sparkles every hour on the hour for five minutes. Whether you're admiring it from the Champ de Mars park below, taking in the view from a nearby cafรฉ, or enjoying it from the tower itself, a visit to the Eiffel Tower is an unforgettable experience in Paris.

6. Gardens of Versailles
The Gardens of Versailles are one of the most magnificent and iconic examples of formal garden design in the world, located just outside of Paris at the Palace of Versailles. Designed by Andrรฉ Le Nรดtre in the 17th century, these gardens cover over 800 hectares (about 2,000 acres) and are a testament to the grandeur of the French monarchy, particularly under Louis XIV, the Sun King.

The gardens are known for their symmetry, geometric patterns, and the meticulous landscaping that includes vast lawns, perfectly trimmed hedges, ornate fountains, and elegant pathways. The design of the gardens was intended to reflect the power and control of the monarch, with everything arranged to create a sense of harmony and order.

Key highlights of the gardens include:

  • The Grand Canal: A long, narrow waterway where visitors can rent rowboats for a serene experience amidst the greenery.
  • The Fountain of Latona: A stunning water feature symbolizing the goddess Latona, designed with intricate sculptures and cascading water.
  • The Orangery: A beautiful building housing orange trees and other exotic plants, showcasing the luxury of the court.
  • The Bosquet Gardens: Smaller, enclosed garden areas with paths, statues, and fountains that offer intimate spaces to explore.
  • The Music Fountains Show (during the summer months): A spectacular event where the fountains are synchronized to classical music, enhancing the grandeur of the gardens.

The gardens are open year-round, but the best time to visit is during the warmer months when the fountains are operating, and the flowers are in full bloom. Visitors can easily spend several hours exploring the vast estate, strolling through the elaborate gardens, and enjoying the peaceful beauty of Versailles.
