Tour Eiffel - Porte de Versailles
The
symbol of Paris, and one of the most recognizable in the world. At
320 meters high (approx. 1050 feet), three different levels
accessible by foot or elevator. The view of it from the Trocadero is
superb, or from the other end of the Champ de Mars. To get the best
view of Paris go to the 3rd level at the top, but you’ll have to
wait in line for the lifts. You could wait in a shorter line and
climb the stairs to the 2nd level where you will still have an
excellent view. It is possible to have dinner at the restaurant
Jules Vernes on the second level, but plan in advance as
reservations are sometimes booked up more than 6 weeks out. Nearby
in the 7th arrondissement is the Hotel des Invalides. This structure
was commissioned by Louis XIV in 1671 to house homeless veterans of
various wars. Much of the huge building is now occupied by the Musee
de l’Armee (Military Museum). See the Dome Church, a masterpiece of
Louis XIV period style. Inside also can be seen the sarcophagus of
Napoleon. One of the most beautiful and important museums of Paris
is nearby, the Musee d’ Orsay. This beautiful museum is a former
railroad station built for the Great Exhibition of 1900 and then
made a museum of 19th century art and early 20th century.
Pre-Impressionist, Impressionist, and post Impressionist Paintings
with endless pieces by Delacroix, Millet, Renoir, Monet, Cezanne,
Van Gogh, Gauguin, Degas and more. There are sculptures by Rodin.
