Answer:
The Luxembourg Palace, Paris © French MomentsThe Luxembourg Palace, surrounded by its beautiful gardens, was built in 1617. It owes its name to the Duke of Piney-Luxembourg, landlord of a domain which was later acquired by Maria de Medici, widow of the King of France, Henri IV. The Italian-born Queen wished to create a residence to remind her of the Pitti Palace as well as establishing gardens evoking those of Boboli in Florence. Architect Salomon de la Brosse was entrusted the construction of the palace. It now houses the French Senate, the upper house of Parliament. The palace opens onto a beautiful park, actually one of my favourites in Paris. I love coming here in Spring and in Autumn. If you have kids it also has a brilliant play area.Visit our page on the Luxembourg Garden.Visit the official website of the French Senate.9. Centre PompidouCentre Pompidou, Paris © French MomentsThe Pompidou Centre in the district of Beaubourg is one of France’s most visited museums.Not far from the busy shopping precinct of Les Halles, the Pompidou centre was designed in the style of high-tech architecture. With its colour-coded pipes and ducts, the design of the modern art museum has been the source of much controversy since its construction. Inaugurated in 1977, some see it as an eyesore, others praise its architectural audacity. Honestly I don’t really know what to think of it, that’s why I much prefer to climb on the top floor to enjoy the panoramic views over the roofs of Paris where it also has a famous restaurant. >> Get your Tickets for Pompidou Centre: Priority Entrance! <<Visit our page on the Pompidou Centre.Visit the official website of the Pompidou Centre.8. Les InvalidesHôtel des Invalides, Paris © French MomentsNow this is a place I’m much more familiar with as I used to work as a French teacher in a nearby language school. The grand complex of Les Invalides on the Left Bank is easily recognisable by its magnificent golden dome reaching 107 metres high. It was built by Louis XIV to house the homeless and wounded veterans of the King’s army. Today the Hôtel des Invalides is famous for housing the tomb of French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The Hôtel des Invalides also hosts three museums: the Army museum, the Order of the Liberation museum, and the Relief map museum.>> Get your Tickets for Les Invalides: the Army Museum [Priority Entrance], Napoleon’s tomb and see war memorabilia! <<Visit our page on the Hôtel des Invalides.Visit the official website of the Hôtel des Invalides.7. Opéra GarnierThe Opéra Garnier at the end of the Avenue de l’Opéra © French MomentsCharles Garnier built the opulent Paris Opera house from 1861 to 1875 during the reign of Napoleon III. It is part of the great reconstruction of Paris by Baron Haussmann during the Second Empire. The auditorium seats nearly 2,000 people and features a grand chandelier and a fine ceiling painting by Marc Chagall. You have to visit the interior of the opera house, including the astonishing great staircase. At certain times of the day you can pay to look around or have a guided tour. It’s just mind-blowing! You can sometimes get last minute tickets for operas and ballets but it is best to book in advance which you can do online.>> Get your Tickets for Opera Garnier: Self-guided visit! <<Visit our page on the Opéra Garnier.Visit the official website of the Opéra Garnier.6. PanthéonPanthéon, Paris © French MomentsSituated in the Latin Quarter, the Panthéon stands at the top of the Sainte-Geneviève hill. A massive colonnaded dome tops the neo-classical white monument. Originally a church, the Panthéon has since become a necropolis for France’s greatest citizens and a popular national monument. I recommend you climb the dome of the Panthéon to see the whole of Paris, from the Eiffel Tower to Notre-Dame and Montmartr
