Of course, the historical and artistic meaning of the latter does not have any comparison with famous museums, but who said that the sights of Paris are those about what is printed only in famous guidebooks?

We have prepared descriptions with photos of the most interesting, in our opinion, attractions of Paris.
Let's start, of course, from the Eiffel Tower, although, well, we understand that only lazy wrote about it. But she is in Paris and we have to celebrate it.

Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower was designed and built for the World Exhibition of 1889 (World Fair), it was a temporary design, they were offered to demolish it twice.
For the first time, in the early 1900s, the tower was preserved due to its radio transmission capabilities. Gustav Eifel, the chief architect, conducted many scientific experiments, tested them on the tower and hoping that any discoveries would help extend his service life.

One of them included a test wireless radio transmission. During World War I, the possibility of radio transfer of the Eiffel Tower allowed to intercept messages so far as possible.
For the second time, this attraction was actually destroyed during the German occupation of France during World War II. Hitler planned to get rid of her, but never could implement his plan.

Today, Eiffel Tower is, in fact, the main attraction of Paris is still used to transfer radio communication messages, but it is valued for its greatness.
Whether you can believe that many Parisians initially considered this architectural miracle - nothing else like Lelm in the eye.

Regardless of whether the object today is considered one of the most visited tourist attractions in the world. Visitors have the opportunity to rise to the first floor of the Eiffel Tower or climb the elevator to the very top, where they will open with incredibly huge panoramic views of the city.

Construction began at the end of the 10th century, but the last strokes were made only 200 years later. If you look at the cathedral, you will understand why it was built so long.

The architectural details of the Notre Dama are complex and become more numerous, the closer you come to it. The front entrance shows carefully disheveled statues that are easily integrated with a stone facade.

Opera Garnier (Garnier Palace)

The masterpiece of architectural wealth - Opera Garnier, also known as the Palace of Garnier - still radiates the same mysterious atmosphere, which he possessed at the end of the 1800s.
This is a tangible sense of intrigue and secrets that permeates the opera, it is partly explained by her impressive interiors of the old world, as well as Gastron Lero, the author of the "Ghost Opera", for which the Palace of Garnier served as inspiration.

Lero argued that the ghost was really real, and he only successfully included in his artistic work of the event real life (For example: chandelier, falling and killing observer).

Rectual outlined historical facts, as well as writer talents, Lero, puzzled many questions, and whether a resident was really hiding under the opera building.
Opera staff confirmed the other: under the building there really exists an underground lake, so it becomes clear why this story turned out so convincing. But without Napoleon III, which was responsible for commissioning the building, the story of Ler would never end.

The best way to fully experience the beauty of this cultural attraction of Paris is to buy a ticket to Opera or ballet.
If you are not in the city during the presentation or there is no desire to spend a fairly round sum for the idea, you will independently explore the magnificent interiors of the building. Tourists who independently visited the building of the palace, argue that inside the building is so great that it is difficult to believe our eyes.

Basilica Sacre Cor

Towering over Paris, Sacre Cour (which means "Sacred Heart") is more like a white castle than on the basil. It is at the top point of the eclectic quarter Montmartre (once he was the place of permanent meetings for the Bohemian Crowd of Paris), this Roman-Vizantine masterpiece is easily recognized by its richly decorated domes from ivory.

Outside the Basilica seems unrealized, but the interior of the cathedral is something that it is worth seeing: his ceilings sparkle the largest mosaic of France, which depicts Jesus next to the ascending Virgin Maria and Jeanne d'Ark.

Today it is the French Military Museum of Musée De L'Armée and Dôme Des Invalides, the chapel Sainted by the Sainted Peter in Rome. Several French military heroes are buried here, as well as members of the Napoleon family.

Paleontology and comparative anatomy gallery

Throughout the more than a century, the paleontology gallery and comparative anatomy is quite fascinating and at the same time for visitors terrifying with their huge reconstructed animal skeletons.

Founded in 1898, it was created to collect a number of different scientific collections into one, now it is a multi-storey gallery, which contains a huge number of fossils and bones, it is one of the widest and comprehensive ideas about natural artifacts in the world.

Le Musée Du Fumeur (Smoking Museum)

No, here you can not use a lighter and smoke, although in this Paris Museum dedicated to smoking there is a lounge lounge.

Despite today's attitude towards tobacco and other chicken plants, since 2001, this 650-foot shop near the cemetery Per Lashez is dedicated to the leisure activities of many of the greatest minds and leaders of France.

Colon Medici

The Medici Column was built in 1575 and was the first separately standing column in Paris. It was built at the request of Ekaterina Medici in the part of the royal palace, which once stood after her. Although the decorative value of the 92-foot column is clear, the true purpose of its construction for Catherine has never been specifically established.

The outside of this creation was made in the form of a beautiful stone masonry, and its actual emptiness containing a screw staircase, which once combined the Queen's personal apartments with an observatory / workshop at the top of the column.

It is assumed that this workplace was built for a personal astrologer Catherine (some called him sorcerer) Kozimo Rudjierey. Since childhood, an astrologer was friends with the queen, and they say that she consulted with him before taking any important decisions. The space at the top of the column was intended for this so that the astrologer could calmly consult with the stars to predict what he saw.

Currently, the palace for which these columns were built, no longer exist, and the column still stands and hides its screw staircase. The door inside is now closed, but visitors can still look at the cage at the top of the column and present what happened in astrological intrigues.

Once this charming little cobbled street hidden in the 12th district was a "secret place", about which few people knew. Nowadays, Rue Crémieux is increasingly in demand in fashionable photographers, cinematographers and people who are looking for something unique to instagram in the color saturated.

Give yourself the opportunity and do not refuse to visit this Paris splendor. In many ways, this fancy path between Ryu de Lyon and Ryu de Beri is not at all similar to Paris and even more resembles Portobello Road in Notting Hill in London or Burano in Venice.

Among the colorful facades, clocks and paintings, as well as furnace windows, there are window boxes and terracotta pots, filled with lush plants, which add the feeling that you seemed to have escaped from Paris for a moment. This is a living street, although very small, and at home here is small. In fact, on one side of the building street there is a slightly more than one room in depth.

In 1878, the most famous Boutinal of Paris was opened by Madame Kelly just a few steps from the Louvre, he received his reputation for extravagant, decor and for visiting him from the Supreme Society, who spent their money on the exercise of their libido in the arms of thirty excellent Curtains.

When investing about 1.7 million francs (approximately $ 12.5 million) and shares sold at an exorbitant price rich private investors, Le Chabanais became the most profitable brothel of the European continent. The legend of the golden era of a closed house, it was one of the most popular and mandatory sights of the attractions of rich European tourists, comparable to a prayer in the Cathedral of Notre Lada or a visit to the Eiffel Tower.

Like any good erotic fantasy platform, each room in the house had its design. "Louis XVI" was having sex in a magnificent monarchist room, and the Moorish room was the favorite of the poet Gaya de Maupassant, who made a copy of this room and in his house. The frequent guest of Le Chabanais, the King Edward VII or Dirty Bertie had a copper trouble in the form of a sphinx, made specifically for him so that he could dip his skinny body into champagne. And in the same Toulouse-Lotrek, one more of the guests of the famous brothels of their era, sacrificed to this institution sixteen erotic paintings written by oil, with images of centaurs in the flour of passion.

This zealous sense of delight in all its excess and exotic brilliance was officially noted during the Paris World Exhibition 1900 "Japanese Room" won the prize for the "best design", becoming a symbol of the Paris lifestyle and modernism.

After several decades of sleepless nights and erotic holidays, Le Chabanais closed, on April 13, 1946, the red lamp near it was turned off.

It is probably difficult to find a person who would not have dreamed of visiting Paris. Everyone from childhood heard more than once about this wonderful city. About its narrow medieval streets and wide modern prospects, about the Elysee fields and Montmartre, the Eiffel Tower and Louvre. Reading the works of V. Hugo, O. Balzac, E. Zola, A. Dumas and many other outstanding French writers, everyone mentally presented himself in the place of the heroes of works and wandered around the streets in search of adventures. When it is possible to visit this amazing city in reality, everyone seeks to see exactly those places that are known for famous literary works. Today we will answer the question - what to see in Paris yourself? So, our review of the best attractions of the city.

One of the symbols of the city, reflecting significant historical events, is a Triumphal Arch, built at the request of Napoleon in order to leak through her heading troops after the next victories. Having laid the first stone to the foundation of the arch, Napoleon symbolically celebrated his birthday, but he could not be victorious to pass through the finished structure, as it was left for the construction of the highest arch in the world as many as 30 years.

In December 1840, Napoleon was destined to be under the arches of a triumphal arch, when the coffin with his body solemnly carried through it, delivering a great conqueror from the island of Saint Helena to the place of his eternal rest in Paris. From the moment of completion of the construction of this 50-meter monument, Parisians celebrate the most significant events in the life of the city and the country. In the triumphal arch in 1885, the townspeople were forgotten from the great writer V. Hugo.

At the end of World War II, this legendary arch, inspired by the approaching victory, the Parisians arranged to General De Nude a warm solemn meeting. Interestingly, twice a year May 10 and August 1, at sunset, you can observe how the solar disk occupies a central place in the opening of the Arc de Triomphe.

It is not just a landmark, but also by the personification of Paris himself and his difficult story. Therefore, on the optic area is always full of the audience. In one place of the square, then in the other you can hear the simple melodies of street musicians and see the circus tricks of omnipresent juggler entertaining crowd.

It is difficult to believe, but the focus of the Parisian life notre-lads two hundred years ago was in complete launch. The French revolution has escalated everything in its path, which referred to the heritage of the past era. Castles and palaces, monasteries and cathedrals were destroyed. Beautiful statues of the work of great masters, who decorated the facade of the Cathedral of the Parisian Mother of God, were also plunged by the ground. All church utensils, including the famous bells of the cathedral, were sent to the smelting, part of the decoration of the cathedral disappeared without a trace, and the altar was desecrated.

The dilapidated and plundered cathedral gradually came into decline, while due to the famous novel V.
