1. Eiffel Tower

Everybody wants to get to the top of this symbol of Paris, and that's the challenge: not everyone can get there. Here's how.

2. Notre-Dame de Paris

The disastrous fire of April 15, 2019 nearly destroyed the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, but by September 2021, the structure had been saved from total collapse. Rebuilding the famous cathedral will take several more years. More...

3. Musée du Louvre

Perhaps the world's greatest museum (and certainly among the largest), you can't see it all. So make a plan for what you want to see. More...

4. Conciergerie

Once part of a medieval palace, this was where many Parisians were condemned to death during the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution. The grim chambers are now a museum. More...

5. Sainte-Chapelle

Simply sublime, the peerless stained glass windows in this medieval chapel are not only an incomparable work of art, but an astonishing feat of engineering. More...

6. Arc de Triomphe

The huge arch built to commemorate the victories of Napoleon's Grande Armée is not just to look at. Climb to the roof and you have all of Paris spread out at your feet. More...

7. Hôtel National des Invalides

Emperor Napoleon I lies buried beneath the gilded dome, but more interesting are the exhibits in this, the largest military museum in the world. More...

Another symbol of Paris, this hilltop church on Montmartre is also famous for the artists' neighborhood gathered around it—not to mention for the fine views from the hilltop. More...

9. Panthéon

Built as a great Neo-classical church, this beautiful temple is now a museum and burial-place for some of France's most illustrious names: Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Marie Curie and others. More...
