The capital of France is a dream city for many romantics, lovers and admirers of Dumas and Maupassant. It is impossible to comprehend the city-legend, Paris in 1 day, but it is worth trying to have time to touch its most important masterpieces.
Openwork symbol
With the advent of the Eiffel Tower, all Parisians were divided into two camps: those who liked the creation of the Eiffel engineer, and those who prefer an apartment with a “no tower” view. Having decided on their own passions, tourists can either go up to the observation deck of the openwork "monster" and admire Paris without her, or, on the contrary, arrange a photo session with her in the background.
Admirers of modern non-standard solutions can be recommended a walk to another controversial architectural creation of Paris. The Georges Pompidou Center contains in its futuristic multi-colored womb the Museum of Modern Art, where you can enjoy the great canvases of Picasso, Kandinsky, Malevich and Chagall.
Champs Elysees
You can feel the rhythm of Paris in 1 day on a walk along the central street of the city, about which all French chansonniers composed songs. The Champs Elysees stretches from the Louvre to the Arc de Triomphe, and the highway is almost two kilometers long. On both sides of the most fashionable street in Paris, there are shops and cafes, palaces and restaurants, offices of famous companies and banks.
If fate throws in Paris for 1 day during the last stage of the Tour de France, then on the Champs Elysees you can see its finish, and on July 14, a military parade is held here on the occasion of the national holiday. The street ends at the Square of the Stars, where the Triumphal Arch in honor of Napoleon's victories, commissioned by him, is installed. There is an observation deck on it, from the height of which Paris can be seen in all its details.
White temple where the heart remains
The Sacre-Coeur Basilica on the Montmartre hill is an equally popular symbol of Paris. Its snow-white outlines seem to bless all residents and guests of the French capital, and from the stairs leading to the temple, in clear weather, magnificent views open up. The Sacré-Coeur bell tower houses the largest bell in the city, and the colored stained glass windows and mosaics of the temple make the hearts of its visitors swoon with enthusiasm. The Church of the Heart of Christ is one of the most visited city sites, and the Montmartre hill is also famous for its bohemian quarters. Here you can sip coffee in the shade of chestnuts and buy a work by a street artist that will capture your very own Paris in one day.
