Itinerary
Arenes de Lutece
The Arènes de Lutèce, located in the 5ᵉ arrondissement of Paris, are an ancient relic dating back to the 1st century AD. They were a Roman amphitheater capable of seating around 15,000 spectators. Used for gladiatorial combat and other public spectacles, they are one of the few remaining reminders of ancient Lutetia, the former name of Paris. Today, it's a public park, where you can still see the arcades and the shape of the circus. It's a tranquil spot in the heart of the Latin Quarter, combining history and relaxation.
5 minutesEglise Saint Germain
The church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, located in the 6ᵉ arrondissement of Paris, is one of the capital's oldest churches. Founded in the VIᵉ century, it was originally a Benedictine monastery. Its architecture combines Roman, Gothic and modern elements, with a beautiful cloister and impressive nave. The church is famous for its historical and cultural role, particularly in the development of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, once an intellectual and artistic center. Today, it is a symbol of Parisian heritage, blending history and art.
Ile de la Cite
Ile de la Cité is one of two natural islands on the Seine, in the heart of Paris. It's the city's historic birthplace, where Paris was founded in the era of the Parisii, around the IIIᵉ century B.C. It's home to iconic sites such as Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Sainte-Chapelle and the Conciergerie, a former prison and royal palace. The island has a unique atmosphere, between its medieval alleyways, its quays lining the Seine and its historic buildings. It's a place steeped in history and culture, ideal for a stroll.
Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower, the emblematic symbol of Paris and France, is a 330-metre-high wrought-iron structure designed by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Universal Exhibition. Located on the Champ-de-Mars, it offers spectacular panoramic views of the capital from its three publicly accessible floors. Day or night, illuminated by thousands of lights, it embodies Parisian romanticism and elegance.
Quais de la Seine
The piers of the Seine in Paris are emblematic promenades along the river, offering spectacular views of the capital's historic monuments, such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame and the Louvre. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, they are bustling with booksellers, terraced cafés and relaxation areas where pedestrians and cyclists mingle. Day or night, they embody Parisian elegance and are a popular place to stroll for locals and visitors alike.
Le Trocadero et son esplanade
The Trocadéro, located opposite the Eiffel Tower, is a vast area comprising the Trocadéro gardens and the square in front of the Palais de Chaillot. Offering one of the finest views of the Eiffel Tower, it's a popular spot for tourists and photographers alike. Its fountain-filled gardens, museums and terraces make it a must-see site in Paris, both majestic and lively.
Le Marais
A former aristocratic district, it still boasts sumptuous townhouses, some of which have become museums, such as the Musée Carnavalet and the Musée Picasso. Today, it's renowned for its cobbled streets, trendy boutiques, art galleries and lively atmosphere. Between the charm of yesteryear and contemporary effervescence, the Marais is a must for lovers of history, fashion and Parisian life.
Place-Vendome
Place Vendôme, in the heart of Paris, is a symbol of luxury and elegance. Designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart under Louis XIV, it is surrounded by harmonious mansions, home to prestigious jewelers, haute couture boutiques and the famous Ritz. The centerpiece is the Vendôme column, erected by Napoleon as a tribute to his victories. A mecca of Parisian refinement, the square embodies the prestige and excellence of the French art of living.
Place Du Tertre
Place du Tertre, in the heart of Montmartre, is an iconic Parisian landmark, famous for its bohemian, artistic atmosphere. A former haunt of painters and intellectuals in the XIXᵉ century, today it is bustling with artists who set up their easels here to create portraits and caricatures. Surrounded by typical cafés and restaurants, it offers a timeless charm, just a stone's throw from the Sacré-Coeur basilica. A true symbol of picturesque Paris, Place du Tertre attracts visitors in search of authenticity and inspiration.
5 minutesBasilique du Sacre-Coeur de Montmartre
The Basilique du Sacré-Coeur, perched atop the Montmartre hill, is a Paris landmark, recognizable by its Romanesque-Byzantine architecture and immaculate dome. Inaugurated in 1919, it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the capital from its forecourt. The interior houses one of the world's largest mosaics, depicting Christ in glory. Surrounded by the picturesque narrow streets of Montmartre, it is a place of meditation and a must-see for visitors in search of authenticity and Parisian charm.
10 minutesPalais Garnier
The Opéra Garnier, a XIXᵉ century architectural masterpiece designed by Charles Garnier, is a symbol of Parisian pomp and elegance. Inaugurated in 1875, it captivates with its sculpture-adorned facade, majestic marble grand staircase and sumptuous auditorium, overlooked by the famous ceiling painted by Marc Chagall. A mecca for lyrical and choreographic art, it hosts prestigious opera and ballet performances. Its grandiose architecture and captivating atmosphere make it one of Paris's cultural gems.
Grands Boulevards
The Grands Boulevards, laid out under Louis XIV and embellished in the XIXᵉ century, are the vibrant heart of Haussmannian Paris. Stretching from the Madeleine to the République, they are lined with historic theaters such as the Folies Bergère and elegant covered passages such as the Galeries Vivienne. Renowned for their effervescence, they are home to department stores, lively cafés and legendary cinemas such as the Grand Rex. Between history and modernity, the Grands Boulevards embody the bubbling energy of the capital.
Champs-Elysees
The Avenue des Champs-Élysées, often referred to as “the most beautiful avenue in the world”, stretches for almost two kilometers from Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe. Lined with luxury boutiques, department stores, emblematic cafés such as Fouquet's and theaters, it is a symbol of Parisian prestige. A mecca for celebrations and parades, it attracts tourists and Parisians alike. Day or night, it embodies the elegance and dynamism of the capital.
Arc de Triomphe
The Arc de Triomphe, located on the Place de l'Étoile, is one of Paris's most famous monuments. Built under Napoleon Bonaparte to celebrate his military victories, it stands 50 metres high and is adorned with sculptures depicting scenes from historic battles. Beneath its canopy is the Flame of the Unknown Soldier, a tribute to the soldiers who fell in the First World War. From the top of the Arc, there's a breathtaking view of the Champs-Élysées, the Obélisque de la Concorde and La Défense. It embodies the grandeur and military history of France.
