You can’t miss the Arc de Triomphe. It’s a massive monument over 50 meters high! It is accessible via an underground tunnel. Once you’re at the top, you’ll have an incredible view of Paris!
Opposite the Arc de Triomphe is the Place de la Concorde. In the middle is a large roundabout. Place de la Concorde has two photo-worthy fountains and the famous Luxor Obelisk.
In 2021, the Hôtel de la Marine at the head of Place de la Concorde re-opened. The former home of the French Navy Ministry from 1789 to 2015, has been completely restored and is gorgeous.
Take a stroll down the Champs-Élysées. Champs-Elysées is one of the most famous roads in Paris and possibly worldwide. The road is about 1.2 miles or 1.9km long.
In addition to all of the sights and shopping, you can visit the Grand Palais, a historical museum and architectural landmark renowned by the people of France and its tourists.
Part of the gorgeous Parc Monceau is in the 8th Arrondissement. This park is open to the public and is known aesthetically for its columns, green water, and beautiful trees. Famous painter Claude Monet painted many pictures inspired by this location.
Also in the 8th is the Pont Alexandre III bridge. One of my favorites. It has been used as a setting in many movies and TV series including Emily in Paris and Call My Agent.
