On the stone of this building, you can read the names of the generals and the battles of the revolution and the first empire. Under the arch, the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the flame of Remembrance to all the French who died on the battlefields.   The Trocadero gardens Let’s continue our way heading towards the Seine, to reach the Trocadero gardens, in the 16th district of Paris.

The bridge of Arts The Bidge of Arts, between the Louvre and the Institut de France, and the first bridge in Paris. But he is best known for being the lovers’ Bridge. Indeed, until 2015, all lovers from all over the world went there to hang a padlock on the footbridge, and throw the key into the Seine, a symbol of eternal love. Since then, the padlocks have been removed, as their weight threatened the structure of the bridge. The Alexander III Bridge Linking the Invalides to the Petit Palais, the Alexander III Bridge is listed as a historical monument. Built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900, it is the most emblematic bridge in Paris, and stands out with its 4 pylons 17 meters high representing the Arts, Sciences, Commerce and Industry.

This rather posh district was then an essential tourist center during a stay in Paris. Let’s see together everything that is possible to do and visit in this district of the City of Light.   Admire the Eiffel Tower Many tourists travel to Paris just to see the Eiffel Tower.

This long walk is an invitation to relax, and allows you to take your most beautiful photos of the Eiffel Tower. A little further on, on Place Joffre, the Military school, built during the reign of Louis XV, brings together all the higher military training organisations. Although it is only open to the public during Heritage Days, its imposing facade is worth the detour.   Explore the Esplanade des Invalides On the left bank of the Seine, opposite the Alexandre III bridge, the Esplanade des Invalides stretches and invites you to discover the Hotel invalid. This imposing building, built in 1678 at the request of the Sun King Louis XIV, was initially intended to house wounded and disabled soldiers. Today, the Hôtel National des Invalides retains its function as a hospice, but it also houses the Army museum, the Museum of Order and Liberation, as well as two churches, one of which houses the tomb of Napoleon I.   Take a walk on the Quai d’Orsay Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is only open to the public during heritage days, the passage on the Quai d’Orsay remains a must. From the banks of the Seine, you can then see the prestigious palace built in 1844. Devoted to diplomacy and foreign affairs for more than 150 years, its splendor has the sole objective of seducing foreign emissaries, and it is a mission accomplished. .   Visit the Hotel Matignon If you have the luck (and the patience) to get to the Hotel Matignon during the Heritage Days, you will not only discover the residence of the French Prime Ministers. It is also a mansion in the baroque style of great beauty, with one of the largest private green spaces in the capital (3 hectares).   Stroll along rue Cler Located a stone’s throw from the Champ-de-Mars park, the rue Cler is a popular pedestrian street where we find a commercial and dynamic Parisian life, with shops, restaurants and bars. Between tradition and modernity, this 428-meter street is lively, and makes you discover the French way of life.

We find there, of course, the sculptures of the artist, but also his drawings, his paintings and his tapestries. Twice a year, the museum also organizes temporary exhibitions highlighting the different artistic movements from 1900 to today. The Rodin Museum A stone’s throw from the Hôtel des Invalides and the Eiffel Tower, the Rodin museum brings together all the works of the famous sculptor Auguste Rodin.

The Quai Branly Museum – Jacques Chirac Entirely dedicated to non-Western culture, theQuai Branly Museum brings together more than 3,500 works from Asia, America, Africa and Oceania. On the banks of the Seine, the imposing architecture imagined by Jean Nouvel and the elegant garden are a call to curiosity and relaxation. One of the largest museums in Paris, the musée du quai Branly also has a café and a gourmet restaurant.   Contemplate the Palais Bourbon Symbol of the French Republic, the Bourbon Palace imposes itself on the left bank of the Seine and houses the 577 deputies of the National Assembly. The building, created in 1728, evokes the architecture of the Grand Trianon of Versailles, and will be modernized throughout its life. The colonnade, which makes the beauty of the monument, dates from the Napoleonic era, and many artists intervened to embellish the building, such as the painter Eugène Delacroix.   Discover the street art of Paris 7 Admittedly, the 7th arrondissement of Paris is not the best known district for street art. However, some memorable frescoes were created there, and in particular in the rue de Verneuil, on the facade of the former residence of Serge Gainsbourg. Moreover, it is a little further, at number 14 rue de Verneuil, that will open, during 2023, the Gainsbourg House.
