Top 5 Sights in Paris

Below are our favorite Parisian Sights. They are in order, but understand that everyone will have their own Paris and their own order. Just have fun finding yours!

1. Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel): Paris’ most famous landmark, it needs no explanation. Take the elevator to find the best views in town and enjoy the beautiful lawns surrounding the tower.

2. The Louvre Museum: Another famous Parisian landmark, this world-renown museum holds many great masterpieces including The Mona Lisa.

3. Notre-Dame: Flying Buttresses make this Cathedral one of the most beautiful in the world. It was a marvel when it was built throughout the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries and still is today.



4. Sacre-Coeur: Another bastion of Christianity, it can be seen in most parts of Paris as it sits on a hill in Montmartre.

5. Arc de Triomphe: Commemorating French victories in battle, this arch holds a museum, a viewing platform and the tomb of the unknown soldier.


Let us know if we missed anything. Unfortunately, we could only list ten over the last two days, but we all know there's so much more to this grand city!
