Eiffel Tower<\/span><\/h3>\n

The <\/span>Eiffel Tower<\/span><\/a> is the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance, at least as far as visitors to Paris are concerned. Built in 1887 and completed in 1889, the Iron Lady was a marvel of engineering that debuted during the Exposition Universelle marking the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. You can take an elevator to the top of the tower where you\u2019ll find a small museum or book reservations in the Eiffel Tower\u2019s restaurants Le Jules Verne and Madame Brasserie.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Arc de Triomphe<\/span><\/h3>\n

Second only to the Eiffel Tower, the <\/span>Arc de Triomphe<\/span><\/a> is one of the most well-known monuments in Paris. It predates the iron structure, though its 19th century construction spanned 30 years from 1806 through 1836. Napoleon commissioned it on his birthday but died before its completion. More than a beautiful monument on the Avenue des Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es, you can visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for free or purchase a ticket for the interior museum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Notre-Dame Cathedral<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are multiple <\/span>Notre-Dame Cathedrals<\/span><\/a> around France, but there is nothing like <\/span>the<\/span><\/i> Notre-Dame de Paris. Over 850 years old, it faced a devastating fire in 2019 but reopened in 2024. The famous cathedral is located on the \u00cele de la Cit\u00e9 and is one of the most recognizable cathedrals in the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

See Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower and more on our 22-day <\/span><\/i>French Heritage<\/span><\/i><\/a> tour.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sainte-Chapelle<\/span><\/h3>\n

Another Gothic place of worship proudly standing as a must-see Paris monument, the <\/span>Sainte-Chapelle<\/span><\/a> was built in the 13th century. It features 1,113 stained glass windows, lending the feeling of stepping inside a kaleidoscope. Beyond the aesthetic beauty of the Sainte-Chapelle, it houses nearly two dozen religious relics including a fragment of the True Cross and the Crown of Thorns, two of the most important relics of the Passion of the Christ.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mus\u00e9e du Louvre<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Right Bank of the Seine River sees more visitors per year than some French towns, all thanks to the <\/span>Louvre Museum<\/span><\/a>. This monument in Paris is regularly the world\u2019s most visited museum. You\u2019re already familiar with its legendary works like de Vinci\u2019s Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo by Alexandros of Antioch. The Louvre\u2019s Pyramid entrance is a monument in itself: placed in the center of Cour Napoleon, the Pyramid\u2019s construction was an impressive feat of engineering that is artfully detailed with lines and shapes reflecting the Cour\u2019s palace, layout, and even courtyard paving.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay<\/span><\/h3>\n

If the Louvre Museum is the star of the Seine\u2019s Right Bank, then the <\/span>Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay<\/span><\/a> is the monument drawing crowds to the Left Bank. Its Beaux-Arts aesthetic is left over from its time as the former Gare d\u2019Orsay railway station. Today, it\u2019s beloved for its impressionist paintings inside, though gazing at the monument from the Tuileries Gardens on the opposite side of the Seine is pleasing enough.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Panth\u00e9on<\/span><\/h3>\n

Paris isn\u2019t the first city to erect a <\/span>Pantheon<\/span><\/a>, and the original in Rome is arguably the most notable, but the Paris monument of a similar design is just as memorable. Found in the Latin Quarter on Sainte-Genevi\u00e8ve mountain, the Paris Pantheon was built in honor of Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris. King Louis XV prayed to the saint during a serious illness, and when he recovered, he honored her with its construction in 1764.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tuileries Gardens<\/span><\/h3>\n

Tuileries Gardens, or <\/span>Jardin des Tuileries<\/span><\/a>, is one monument in Paris with enviable neighbors: the Louvre Museum sits to the east and the Grand Palais to the west. The 17th century garden has dozens of statues laid amongst the gorgeous flowers, plants, and manicured lawns. What initially was planted as a private royal garden blossomed into an open-air museum for the public to enjoy. Although this Paris landmark is free to visit year-round, its operating hours do change by season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Basilica of Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur<\/span><\/h3>\n

For one of the best views of the sprawling city of Paris, head to the <\/span>Basilica of Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur<\/span><\/a> on Montmartre hill. It\u2019s a popular monument that receives close to the same amount of attention as Notre-Dame; however, Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur is far younger at just over a century old. It was officially finished in 1914 and consecrated in 1919 after the project first began in 1873. Instead of the typical guided tours, visitors are encouraged to quietly attend audio-only tours so as to not disturb the thousands of parishioners who gather each week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paris Catacombes<\/span><\/h3>\n

Some monuments in Paris command attention in the center of a street; others, like the <\/span>Paris Catacombes<\/span><\/a>, are hidden in plain sight. Beneath the city\u2019s roadways, you\u2019ll find a labyrinth of tunnels housing the remains of over six million deceased. The ossuary opened in the 1780s to relocate those laid to rest in the city\u2019s cemeteries that were causing public health problems. Burials stopped by the 1860s, though it was opened to the public for limited visitation as far back as 1809. Visitors are welcome to descend into the Paris Catacombes and see this subterranean cemetery for themselves.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6 More Must-See Monuments in Paris\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now that you\u2019ve seen the iconic monuments of Paris, take the time to stroll the streets in search of these unique, can\u2019t-miss fixtures of the city. Believe it or not, statues of Winston Churchill, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar stand tall in the French capital.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Triumph of the Republic & The Monument to the Republic<\/span><\/h3>\n

In the Place de la Nation and Place de la R\u00e9publique you\u2019ll find two similar-looking statues: one called the Triumph of the Republic, the other The Monument to the Republic. The former was created by Jules Dalou while the latter was a joint effort between Leopold and Charles Morice. Both commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the French Revolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lion of Belfort (Le Lion de Belfort)<\/span><\/h3>\n

T<\/span>o the untrained eye, The Lion of Belfort near the Paris Catacombes seems like just another beautiful piece of artwork. Those with an affinity for French-created monuments should look closer and discover that the artist who sculpted this symbol of the French Resistance was none other than Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Auguste Bartholdi, the creator of the Statue of Liberty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tor Saint-Jacques<\/span><\/h3>\n

While many monuments in Paris commemorate the French Revolution, the Tor Saint-Jacques is one of the few that endured the time period. The 16th century tower is all that remains of the eponymous church that met its end during the Revolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Napoleon\u2019s Angels<\/span><\/h3>\n

Les Invalides is the final resting place of Napoleon Bonaparte, and although his sarcophagus is the centerpiece, you\u2019d do well to admire the angelic statues surrounding it. Napoleon\u2019s Angels are a dozen life-sized stone statues watching over the former emperor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Flame of Liberty<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Flame of Liberty is a replica of the flame atop the Statue of Liberty in the United States. This monument in Paris took on a new significance in 1997 when Princess Diana died in the road tunnel beneath and became a shrine to the beloved Princess of Wales.<\/span><\/p>\n
