Notre-Dame
The world-renown Notre-Dame Cathedral is far and away the most famous Gothic cathedral from the Middle Ages, with its iconic design being one of the best examples of the French Gothic architectural style in the world.

Champs-Élysées
The name Champs-Élysées means “Elysian Fields,” which in Greek mythology was the final resting place for the souls of the heroic and virtuous. This heaven on earth is one of the most beautiful and luxurious places in the world, spanning 1.25 miles full of rich history and all the romance Paris has to offer. Enjoy being in the heart of one of the most beautiful cities in the world as you stroll down the street 's famous sidewalks lined with cafes, shops and theaters.

Arc de Triomphe
Standing at 164' tall and at the intersection of the Champs Elysee is the Arc de Triomphe. Built for the successful return of Napoleon, yet finished after his defeat, the monument stands at the star-shaped cross point in the heart of Paris along what is referred to as the Meridian Line cutting through the city. Today it is the featured icon and terminus point for Le Tour de France and the Bastille Day celebrations for France's independence.
