    你可以拾级而上或是乘坐电梯。第一层设有纪念品商店以及本身的装潢令人联想起飞艇的“海拔95”餐厅，而距地平面125米处的第二层则提供了一个在高档的“儒勒·凡尔纳餐厅”享受美食的机会。一旦你上达最后一级平台的第三层，你就会置身云端，以壮观的360度环视的方式，总揽全城景色。

    凯旋门

    凯旋门屹立于香榭丽舍大街最西端的星型广场的中心位置。它是“历史轴线”(法语中称为“L'Axe historique”)上的关键建筑，该轴线由卢浮宫庭院延伸而出，直通巴黎城外，沿线建有一系列纪念建筑和宽阔大道。凯旋门的高度超过了51米，宽45米。它是现存第二大的凯旋拱门(朝鲜为了庆祝金日成70大寿曾于1982年修建了一座稍大一些的凯旋门)。在奥斯特里斯告捷后，位于人生巅峰的拿破仑·波拿巴于1806年下令建造了它。

    蒙马特高地的圣心教堂

    坐落在城市最高点、拥有白色圆顶的圣心教堂，是巴黎最醒目的标志性建筑之一。沿着蜿蜒的蒙马特街道而上，令你不仅能看到19世纪民间筹资兴建的宏伟教堂，更可俯瞰城市全景。

    巴黎圣母院

    作为世界最著名的教堂之一以及哥特建筑中的杰作，巴黎圣母院修建于12至14世纪之间(1163~1345年)，最初是由主教莫里斯·德·苏利提出的设想。法国所有公路里程都是以教堂门前广场上的“零公里”之点为起算处的。巴黎圣母院矗立在巴黎第一座基督教堂圣艾蒂安教堂的旧址上，而后者又是建立在为朱庇特而建的一座高卢罗马神庙的旧址上。

    Musée du Louvre

    The Louvre Museum presents collections of western art from the Middle Ages to 1850, and the antique civilisations that preceded and influenced this art. They are divided into 8 departments: Oriental Antiquities, Islamic Art, Egyptian Antiquities, Greek, Etruscan and Roman Antiquities and, for the modern period, Paintings, Sculptures, Art items, and Prints and Drawings until 1848. In addition to these departments, the museum presents a section devoted to the history of the Louvre, including the medieval moats installed by Philippe Auguste in 1190.

    Among the thousands of priceless paintings is Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, perhaps the most famous painting in the world. Works of artists like Rembrandt, Rubens, Titian and Poussin can also be seen. Among the well-known sculptures in the collection are the Winged Victory of Samothrace and the Venus de Milo.

    Centre Georges Pompidou

    The architecture of the Georges Pompidou Centre, which marked the 1970s with its high tech appearance, provided a daring contrast to the old traditional aspect of the Beaubourg area.

    This Mecca of modern and contemporary culture houses the National Museum of Modern Art/Industrial Design centre, public information library open to all, exhibition galleries, cinemas, show and concert halls and a contemporary music research centre. The National Museum of Modern Art represents one of the world's finest collections of modern and contemporary art from 1905 to the present day, including Miró, Giacometti, Dubuffet, Picasso, Matisse, Léger, Chagall, Kandinsky and Warhol.

    Champs-Elysées

    With its cinemas, cafés, restaurants and luxury specialty shops, the Champs-lysées is one of the most famous streets in the world. This avenue, the most expensive shopping street in Europe, runs for three km through the 8th arrondissement, from the Place de la Concorde in the east, with its obelisk, to the Place de l'toile in the west, location of the Arc de Triomphe. The Champs-lysées forms part of the Axe historique. Every year on Bastille Day, the largest military parade in Europe passes down the Champs-lysées, reviewed by the President of the Republic.The Champs-lysées is also the traditional end of the last stage of the Tour de France.

    卢浮宫博物馆

    卢浮宫博物馆藏有中世纪到1850年期间的西方艺术品以及此前对这类艺术产生过影响的古文明器物。它们被分为8个区：东方古器物，伊斯兰艺术，埃及古器物，希腊、伊特鲁里亚和罗马的古器物，以及被归为现代时期的油画、雕塑、艺术品和截止到1848年之前的版画和素描。除了这些分区以外，博物馆还有一个专门的卢浮宫历史区，其中就包括菲利普·奥古斯特在1190年修建的中世纪护城河的历史。
