It is very amazing that France’s most important city, Paris-the City of Light, is packed with spectacular landmarks and monuments. Famous all over the world, many of these Paris landmarks date back hundreds of years and are in surprising good condition.
The street sketch and total metropolitan improvement of Paris are divided into two parts by the Seine river and connected by 31 bridges. The major street plan is the result of the 19th century plan of baron Georges Hausmann. He positioned the main streets and boulevards so that they are long and straight focus on the traffic circles, intersections, and architectural landmarks all the way through the city.
The monuments of Paris are gigantic, magnificent, and elegant that is why many tourists love to come and visit this place. Foreigners definitely associate such architectural wonders as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and Notre Dame Cathedral with Paris but the City of Light offers a lot of other spectacular, provocative, and frequently controversial Paris landmarks to take a look at. Regular tourists of Paris will tell you that it’s useless to explore the famous Paris landmarks all in one visit.
A number of monuments which now provide Paris its international identity were met with contempt and disregard by native Parisians at the time of their construction. For example, the Eiffel Tower which is built to serve as a centerpiece of the Parisian literati, gained protests from the writers, artists, sculptors, architects, and lovers of the beauty of Paris. Modern-day citizen felt mixed sentiments about the Pompidou Center, commissioned in 1968, which is known as the most infamous post-modernist outhouse in Europe. The architect’s notorious the wrong- way-round design seats the framework of the structure on the outside of the building.
Whatever the judgment may be on the worth of avant garde design, it is surely agreed that the remarkable choice of architectural period styles in Paris reflects a captivating history which traces back in time. Some may like better the grandeur of High Gothic architecture proof by Notre Dame, or the brilliant fixtures and décor at the palace of Versailles, while others may go for for the simplicity and clean lines of the Grande Arche dela Defénsa.
Paris landmarks are too many that a day is absolutely not enough to explore all these beautiful landmarks. Have your tour carefully planed so as not to miss any of these extraordinary landmarks. The above mentioned landmarks are just some of the few famous Paris landmarks.
