Jardin du Luxembourg<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This inner-city oasis of formal terraces, chestnut groves and lush lawns has a special place in Parisians\u2019 hearts. Napol\u00e9on dedicated the 23 gracefully laid-out hectares of the Luxembourg Gardens to the children of Paris, and many residents spent their childhood right here. Such beautiful gardens can\u2019t be missed during your visit to Paris.<\/p>\n

\"paris<\/p>\n

Basilique du Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Begun in 1875 in the wake of the Franco-Prussian War and the chaos of the Paris Commune, Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur is a symbol of the former struggle between the conservative Catholic old guard and the secular, republican radicals. It was finally consecrated in 1919, standing in contrast to the bohemian lifestyle that surrounded it. The view over Paris from its parvis is breathtaking.<\/p>\n

\"paris<\/p>\n

Centre Pompidou<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Renowned for its radical architectural statement, the 1977-opened Centre Pompidou brings together galleries and cutting-edge exhibitions, hands-on workshops, dance performances, cinemas and other entertainment venues, with street performers and fanciful fountains outside. The\u00a0Mus\u00e9e National d\u2019Art Moderne<\/strong>, France\u2019s national collection of art dating from 1905 onward, is the main draw. Don\u2019t miss the spectacular Parisian panorama from the rooftop.<\/p>\n

\"paris<\/p>\n

Canal St-Martin<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The tranquil, 4.5km-long Canal St-Martin was inaugurated in 1825 to provide a shipping link between the Seine and Paris\u2019 northeastern suburbs. Emerging from below ground near place de la R\u00e9publique, its towpaths take you past locks, bridges and local neighbourhoods. Come for a romantic stroll, cycle, picnic lunch or dusk-time drink.<\/p>\n

\"paris<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau de Versailles<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Amid magnificently landscaped formal\u00a0gardens, this splendid and enormous palace was built in the mid-17th century during the reign of Louis XIV to project the absolute power of the French monarchy, which was then at the height of its glory. Years later, you can visit it and let your eyes feast on the magnificence of the gardens and building. Don\u2019t miss it!<\/p>\n

\"paris<\/p>\n

Eiffel Tower<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

No one could imagine Paris today without it. But Gustave Eiffel only constructed this elegant, 320m-tall signature spire as a temporary exhibit for the 1889 World\u2019s Fair. Luckily, the art nouveau tower\u2019s popularity assured its survival. Prebook online to avoid painfully long ticket queues.<\/p>\n

Nightlife<\/h4>\n

\"paris<\/p>\n

Opera National<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The glorious Second Empire architecture of the Palais Garnier alone is a convincing reason to visit, with its multicoloured marble, imposing Grand Staircase, Grand Foyer and Chagall fresco. However, you\u2019ll stay for the incredible performances of the opera artists that take the stage of this impressive building. The opera house seats 22,200, with room for up to 450 performers on stage, and it\u2019s reason enough to dress smart and make this night out the most fancy you can make it.<\/p>\n\n \"paris<\/a>\n
