Cold Weekend In The Heart Of Romantic

Paris is a rich destination of food, landmarks and more, so let’s dive into its historic and cultural heritage to find out what the city is all about.

Leonardo Da Vinci
Musée Du Louvre
The most visited museum in the world not only houses the famous Mona Lisa. From October 2019 to February 2020, it was also home to the world largest collection of Da Vinci paintings. Photography was unfortunately allowed for private use only.
Our Lady Of Paris
Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris
This iconic cathedral standing on Île de la Cité in the middle of Seine is considered to be one of the best examples of French Gothic architecture. Sadly, in April 2019 it caught fire that destroyed the spire and has been under reconstruction since then.
The Icon Of France
La Tour Eiffel
324 metres high, the Tower offers sweeping views of the city from its 3 levels. It was constructed by Gustave Eiffel for the Paris world’s fair in 1889 and became the most-visited paid monument. The entire city seems to be within your reach.
Overlooking The Étoile
Arc de Triomphe
Built in the early 19th century at the peak of Emperor Bonaparte’s fortune, nowadays the Arch offers unique views of Paris and the Eiffel Tower from its 50 meters high viewing platform. The site is accessed from the underground as the road junction is too busy.
Modern Contrast
La Défense
The business district is located at the west end of Axe historique – a line of sites, which starts at Louvre and goes all the way through Champs-Élysées to the iconic monument of La Grande Arche. The Arch houses offices but also offers views from the very top.
The Royal Residence
Château de Versailles
From the late 17th century until the French Revolution, the Palace was the main royal residence of French monarchs. It’s part of the UNESCO list and especially notable for the Hall of Mirrors. The interiors and extensive gardens make it a great half-day visit.
