France has its beauty and Paris has its historic buildings, museums, palaces, wonderful atmosphere, chic shopping, bars and clubs, and welcomes millions of travellers from all over the world.

Paris stimulates the senses, demanding to be seen, heard, touched, tasted and smelt. From romance along the Seine to landscapes on bus-sized canvases to the pick-an-ism types in cafes monologuing on the use of garlic or the finer points of Jerry Lewis, Paris is the essence of all things French.

Gaze rapturously at its breezy boulevards, impressive monuments, great works of art and magic lights. Savour its gourmet selection of cheese, chocolate, wine and seafood. Feel the wind in your face as you rollerblade through Bastille, or a frisson of fear and pleasure atop the Eiffel Tower.

Paris Landmarks

Arc de Triomphe. The grave of the unknown soldier is under the arch.

Arènes de Lutece. Built during the 1st and 2nd centuries, this amphitheater could seat up to 17,000 people, hosting gladiator fights as well as less bloody entertainment. Now a popular spot for playing boules, it is one of the only remaining ruins from the Gallo-Roman era in Paris, along with the Thermes (public baths) at Cluny.

Assemblée Nationale. Seats the French Parliament, and was designed by Giardini and Gabriel in 1728.

Catacombs. Used to store the exhumed bones from the overflowing Paris cemetery.

Chateau de Versailles. On the outskirts of the city, the "must see" home of the Sun King Louis XIV.

The Eiffel Tower. One of the most famous landmarks in the world.

Grand Arche de la Defense. A modern office-building variant of the Arc de Triomphe. Has a viewing platform.

Notre Dame Cathedral. Impressive Gothic cathedral that was the inspiration for Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Saved in the 19th century by the best-known French architect Viollet-le-Duc.

Pantheon. Underneath, the final resting place for the great heroes of the French Republic; above, a marvellous view of the city.

Père-Lachaise Cemetery. See the grave of Jim Morrison amongst many others.

Sacré Coeur. A church perched on top of the highest point in Paris. Behind the church is the artists' area, in front are spectacular views of the whole city.

Sainte Chapelle. Far more beautiful than the famous, but gloomy, Notre Dame. Make sure you go on a sunny day, as the highlight of this small chapel in Rayonnante Gothic style are the large stained-glass windows which soar up to near the vaulted ceiling. Also of interest is the extremely ornate lower level. If it happens to be rainy or cloudy, give Sainte Chappelle a miss, as the play of colored lights on the floor are well worth the wait for a sunnier day.
