The Ile de France region includes many tourist attractions such as the Versailles castle, the Notre-Dame Cathedral, the catacombs of Paris, the triumphal arch, the Eiffel tower, the Champs Elysees boulevard, the Louvre museum, the Sacre-Coeur basilica
and many other interesting sights.
Castle Versailles:
The Versailles Castle is the most sumptuous castle in Europe and associated with the name of King Louis XIV of France. The size of the Versailles Palace can cut your breath.
Notre-Dame Cathedral:
Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris (in Romanian "Our Lady" Cathedral, with reference to the Virgin Mary) is a monument of early Gothic architecture in France, headquarters of the Archdiocese of Paris. The cathedral is located on Île de la Cité, in the center of
Paris.
Arch of Triumph:
The Arc de Triomphe is one of the most famous French monuments, being located at the western end of Champs-Élysées Boulevard. The construction was commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte himself in 1806, the building being completed 30 years later. The Arch of Triumph
is inspired by the Roman architecture, being an imposing construction, with a height of 50 meters. The building is proudly bearing four statues, one on each pillar, which are in fact the imprint of glorious past events.
Eiffel Tower:
The Eiffel Tower is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the world. The Eiffel Tower was inaugurated on March 31, 1889, when the Eiffel tower raised the French flag from the third floor. The architect conceived it as a temporary attraction that was
to be destroyed after 20 years, but the radio antenna located at its highest point saved it. Today, however, it is considered the symbol of the city and one of the most striking pieces of architectural art in the world.
Louvre:
Louvre Museum is the largest museum of history and art in France and one of the most important museums in the world. Museum of universal character, the Louvre has works of art from different periods of civilization, from Antiquity to 1848, and covers a wide
geo-cultural area, from Western Europe, Greece, Egypt to the Near East.
