What to do in Paris
Don’t forget to buy the Michelin Map no. 10 (PARIS 1:10,000) – an excellent map showing every street and alleyway.
Eiffel Tower. This towering edifice was built for the World Fair of 1889, held to commemorate the centenary of the French Revolution.
Notre Dame. Built between 1163 and 1345 on the Ile de la Cité, the original Roman core of Paris. One of a string of famous Gothic cathedrals in northern France, built in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries
Louvre Museum. A museum since 1793, the Louvre started as a royal palace. It has recently (1982-97) been completely – and radically – renovated, vastly improving it. Worth visiting even if you do not have time to
Arch De Triomphe. Built in the early nineteenth century to celebrate the victories of Napoleon’s ‘Grande Armée’. Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with eternal flame, underneath.
