The Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is the result of a large-scale project for the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1889! At the time, the project was carried out by an engineer specialized in steel structures: Gustave Eiffel and more than 500 workers. Planned to be destroyed after 20 years, the construction site lasted only 2 years and even before the end of its construction, the Tower was already at the heart of the debates. Criticized by the great names of the world of letters and the arts, the Tower was able to impose itself over time and meet with the success it deserved. With such a history, it is without a doubt the monument to visit, the place to see in Paris!
Today the Eiffel Tower is the symbol of Paris and attracts nearly 18.2 million tourists every year from all over the world. Within the Tower, it is possible to admire the exceptional view of Paris, but also to enjoy the most beautiful restaurants of the capital.

The Champs Elysées
The Avenue of Champs Elysees... the most beautiful avenue in the world... is one of the must-see places in Paris.
If we go back in time, the avenue was only a swampy way. But it was during the reign of the French king Louis XIV that it became a royal road. The avenue quickly became an emblematic street of Paris where the luxury industry imposed itself. In 1806, Napoleon I, French emperor, ordered the construction of the Arc de Triomphe in honor of the Grand Army. The arch was inspired by ancient arches and bears the names of battles and generals of the revolution and the first empire. Today, it shelters the tomb of the unknown soldier whose flame is revived every evening. It is possible to admire, day and night, a unique panorama of the Champs Élysées from the terrace of the Arc de Triomphe of Paris.
Today, the highly historical avenue of the Champs Elysées is the symbolic place for shopping and especially for luxury. Whether it is fashion, beauty or sports, there is something for everyone: it is truly the avenue and the neighborhood to see in Paris to experience luxury the Parisian way. A walk on the Champs Elysées allows you to discover the mythical Arc de Triomphe and the fabulous products of the French luxury brands on nearly two kilometers.
