Eiffel Tower

Champ de Mars, 5 Avenue Anatole France. Quai Branly. Paris

The Eiffel Tower is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. Constructed from 1887-89 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair, it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world.

The tower is 324 metres. The tower has three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second levels. The top level's upper platform is the highest observation deck accessible to the public in the European Union.

Louvre Museum

174 Rue de Rivoli . Paris

The Louvre is the world's largest museum and a historic monument. A central landmark of the city, it is located on the right bank of the Seine. Nearly 35,000 objects from prehistory to the 21st century are exhibited.

The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace, originally built as a fortress in the late 12th century under Philip II. Remnants of the fortress are visible in the basement of the museum. Due to the urban expansion of the city, the fortress eventually lost its defensive function and, in 1546, was converted by Francis I of France into the main residence of the French Kings
