Located on the quaint Île de la Cité, Notre Dame Cathedral is one of the most popular tourist sites in Paris. This cathedral is famous for its Gothic-style architecture, which includes stained-glass windows and 58-meter-tall bell towers. It took about 300 years to build Notre Dame, which is why you can see elements of different architectural styles, such as those prominent during the Renaissance and Naturalism eras. In addition to its magnificent structure, Notre Dame is renowned for the numerous historical events and religious ceremonies that occurred within its walls, including the beatification of Joan of Arc.
Another iconic monument located in Île de la Cité, the Conciergerie, is an exemplary structure that is noted for its Gothic secular architecture. This building served as the royal residence of the kings of France between the 10th and 14th centuries. Later, during the French Revolution, this old royal palace served as a prison. In fact, the French Queen Marie Antoinette also spent her final days within the quarters of the Conciergerie before being executed by the guillotine. Today, the Conciergerie is one of the most important historic sites in France and welcomes a large number of visitors every day.
The Eiffel Tower is the most recognized landmark of France and is almost synonymous with the city of Paris. This 324-meter tall structure once held the title of the tallest manmade tower ever built on Earth. Interestingly, this iconic monument was initially just a pop-up structure built specifically for the 1889 Exposition Universelle. Since, the Eiffel Tower is the tallest structure in Paris, you can view it from almost any location in the city. The tower looks even more stunning at night when it sparkles with lights for five minutes every hour.
Île de la Cité is one of the two small islands that are located right in the middle of the Seine. In terms of area, Île de la Cité is quite modest, but it is home to several charming attractions of Paris, including Notre Dame and the Conciergerie. A dinner cruise will allow you to catch scenic views of the riverside of these monuments while they light up the night sky. You may also view the beautiful Square du Vert-Galant gardens, one of the most romantic sites in Paris.

This museum, housed in the old royal residence of the Louvre palace, has over 35,000 works of art, including Leonardo Da Vinci's world-famous Mona Lisa.
