PARIS!

Roman Catholic Church in Paris. Took about 100 years to build.

Location of major religious and historical

events in France. For

example, this is where Napoleon

was crowned Emperor.

One of the world’s largest museums, is the most visited museum in

the world, and a historical site. It once

served as a royal palace, until Louis XIV moved to the Palace of Versailles. During the French Revolution it

permanently became a museum.

Originally a railway station that was built in the late

1800s, it is now an art museum. It

contains the largest collection of

impressionist and post-impressionists artists in the world, including pieces by Delacroix, Millet,

Monet, Renoir, and Van Gogh.

The tallest building in

Paris and the most visited

paid monument in the world. It

was originally built for the

1889 World’s Fair.
