Iconic Locations In Paris:
1.Eiffel Tower: The Eiffel Tower has been a national icon for over 130 years. You’ll see it in every skyline photo and box-office hits like Midnight in Paris, Rush Hour 3, and Monte Carlo. Looming over 1,000 feet above the city, many still try to capture this architectural marvel in a single frame—whether it’s from Les Jardins du Trocadéro or the sprawling lawns of Champ de Mars. To get ahead of the crowd, buy skip-the-line tickets or opt for a guided climbing tour (a pro-tip to beat the elevator lines). The picture-perfect views from the summit are absolutely worth it.
2. Louvre Museum: As one of the largest, oldest, and grandest museums in the world, the Louvre hosts a treasure trove of artworks spanning diverse cultures and periods of history. Marvel at the museum’s greatest hits: the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, Winged Victory, and stunning collections of prized paintings and Greek and Roman statues. It’s not possible to see all of the museum in one visit, so be inspired to return for your next trip to Paris. Buy timed-entry tickets online to skip the lines as the museum is usually packed
3. The Arc de triomphe was begun in 1806, on the orders of Napoleon I to honour the victories of his Grande Armée. Inspired by the great arches of antiquity, the monument combines the commemorative with the symbolic and it has always played a major role in the national republican consciousness. Every evening, the flame is lit on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier from the Great War. An exhibition portrays the history and explains its symbolic importance, nationally as well as internationally.
4. Palais Garnier: This opulent 19th-century opera house is known for its magnificent interiors and the amazing performances by the Paris Opera Ballet.
5. The Catacombs: A genuine labyrinth in the heart of underground Paris, this ossuary houses the remains of approximately six million Parisians. The history of the Catacombs dates back to the late 18th century when the city's cemeteries were closed due to health reasons and its contents were moved to an underground site. Today, you can walk down the spiral staircase and take a guided tour of the network of tunnels or explore it at your own pace. It's recommended to buy skip-the-line tickets online to avoid snaking lines
6. Montmatre: Montmartre is a large hill in Paris's northern 18th arrondissement. It is 130 m (430 ft) high and gives its name to the surrounding district, part of the Right Bank. Montmartre is primarily known for its artistic history, for the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur on its summit. Discover another side of Paris in Montmartre, a charming artists’ enclave filled with quirky cafes and shops. Enjoy a splendid view of the city from Sacré-Coeur, watch artists at work at Place du Tertre, visit the Wall of Love, where the phrase “I love you” is scribbled in hundreds of languages, catch the famous Moulin Rouge show or visit Paris’ oldest vineyard. For fewer crowds, visit Montmartre early in the morning. Wear comfortable shoes as the area is hilly with cobblestone streets.

The location of the arc and the plaza are shared between three arrondissements, 16th (south and west), 17th (north), and 8th (east).
