Travel video about destination
Paris in
France.
Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
First established by the
Celts, next used strategically by the
Romans, then it served the extravagant lifestyle of the
Sun King,
Louis XIV until it became a hotbed of
Revolution.
Champs-Élysée is surely one of the most beautiful avenues in the world. It has wide boulevards, shady corners, ambient street cafes and classic
Parisian buildings that are decorated with flowers.
Since 1873, the
Palais de l'Élysée has been the residence of the
French President.
At the beginning of the
17th century,
Madame de Pompadour lived there and during the
Revolution the liberated people cavorted in its luxurious rooms.
Through a small triumphal arch decorated with scenes of
Napoleon's victorious army, there is the garden created by Leotre, the
Jardin des Tuileries. A bridge and fountain are the focal points of this popular park, created in typical
French style.
A modern glass pyramid and a fountain decorate the courtyard of the former
Louvre Palace, which since the time of the Revolution has been transformed into a museum that contains the famous
Louvre art gallery. Its collection of remarkable historic treasures and superb art collection make it one of the world's most famous museums with
Leonardo Da Vinci´s masterpiece, the
Mona Lisa, taking pride of place.
Situated on a small island on the
River Seine is the
Cathedral of Notre Dame, the '
Mother Church of the
Nation'.
Built on the foundations of a
Roman temple and commissioned by the bishops
Maurice and
Eudes de Sully, it took almost
200 years to build this
Gothic masterpiece.
Built at the end of the
19th century as a
symbol of national revival,
Montmartre's
Sacre Coeur has the appearance of a white, fairy-tale palace with 237 steps that lead up to the main entrance of this extraordinary structure. Its
Byzantine architecture and five cupolas are reminiscent of the
Marcus Dome in
Venice.
Of course, there are the dizzy heights of the
Eiffel Tower and a great deal more. Paris is a wonderful festival of the senses!
