The symbol of Paris, and one of the most recognizable in the world. At 320 meters high (approx. 1050 feet), three different levels accessible by foot or elevator. The view of it from the Trocadero is superb, or from the other end of the Champ de Mars. To get the best view of Paris go to the 3rd level at the top, but you’ll have to wait in line for the lifts. You could wait in a shorter line and climb the stairs to the 2nd level where you will still have an excellent view. It is possible to have dinner at the restaurant Jules Vernes on the second level, but plan in advance as reservations are sometimes booked up more than 6 weeks out. Nearby in the 7th arrondissement is the Hotel des Invalides. This structure was commissioned by Louis XIV in 1671 to house homeless veterans of various wars. Much of the huge building is now occupied by the Musee de l’Armee (Military Museum). See the Dome Church, a masterpiece of Louis XIV period style. Inside also can be seen the sarcophagus of Napoleon. One of the most beautiful and important museums of Paris is nearby, the Musee d’ Orsay. This beautiful museum is a former railroad station built for the Great Exhibition of 1900 and then made a museum of 19th century art and early 20th century. Pre-Impressionist, Impressionist, and post Impressionist Paintings with endless pieces by Delacroix, Millet, Renoir, Monet, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Degas and more. There are sculptures by Rodin.
