It has a massive portico of Corinthian columns façade surmounted by a huge dome and a very ornate marble interior.

#9. Palais Garnier

The luxurious Palais Garnier is one of the most famous opera houses in the world, partly due to its use as the setting for “The Phantom of the Opera” novel. 

The building is of exceptional opulence, vast and rich decorated with velvet and gold leaf. 

Some of its famous features include the gold Grand Foyer with its innumerous chandeliers, the 30m/98ft-marble Grand Staircase and the auditorium’s magnificent chandelier, which weighs more than six tons.

#8. Grand Palais-Galeries Nationales

The Grand Palais was constructed in just three years and is best known for its enormous glass roof, which is the biggest in Europe. 

It is currently the largest existing ironwork and glass structure in the world: a beautiful combination of a classicist stone facade, art-nouveau ironwork and glass. 

The building is separated into three distinct areas: an event hall, the Nef du Grand Palais, a science museum, the Palais de la Découverte and an exposition hall, the Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais.

#7. Palace Of Versailles

The magnificent Palace of Versailles was the official residence of the French kings from 1682 until 1790.

The Palace and its magnificent formal garden became a model of the ideal royal residence for over a century in Europe. 

Its most notable features include: the ostentatious bedrooms, the Hall of Mirrors, the Royal Chapel, the Queen’s bedroom, the Geometric Garden, and the Latona Fountain.

#6. Musée d’Orsay 

 

The Musée d’Orsay, one of Paris’s most popular museums, owns roughly 6,000 works of art, including the largest collection of impressionist and post-impressionist masterpieces in the world. 

It is housed in an impressive Beaux-Arts railway station built between 1898 and 1900, which itself could be seen as the first “work of art” in the museum.

#5. Palais Royal Paris

The beautiful Palais Royal currently houses several French’s government offices. Although the palace is not open to the public, you can visit the courtyard and the garden. 

The courtyard, known as Cour d’Honneur, is dominated by a large sculpture by Daniel Buren, which consists of 280 black and white striped truncated columns, Les Colonnes de Buren. 

The palace’s garden is a quiet refuge in the heart of Paris formally laid out around a central fountain.

#4. Petit Palais

The magnificent Petit Palais became a museum in 1902 and now houses the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris. 

The building surrounds a semi-circular courtyard and garden, with ponds and palm trees edged with mosaics and columns. 

It has a neo-baroque style with carved decorations in the walls, marble columns and walls. Its wide uncluttered halls and high rounded ceilings give the palace a sense of openness and freshness.

#3. Sainte Chapelle

The Sainte-Chapelle is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture that was built during the Middle Ages to house Louis IX’s collection of Passion Relics of Christ, including the Crown of Thorns. 

The most famous features of the chapel are the tall stained glass windows, which comprises 600 square meters (6,456 sq ft) in area, and the wonderful statues of Jesus’ twelve apostles.

#2. Eiffel Tower

 

The Eiffel Tower is Paris’s most famous landmark and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. Visited by more than 7 million people each year, it is the most visited entrance-paying monument on the planet. 

The 300-metre-tall (984 ft.) tower was meant to last only for the duration of the World Exhibition in 1889. 

But despite all protests from those who feared that it would not fit into the architecture of Paris, it still stands today and it is actually hard to think someone visiting Paris without seeing this icon.

#1. The Louvre- Top Museums

It is one of the greatest art museums in the world, with representative examples from almost every civilization on Earth. Nearly 35,000 objects from the 6th century BC to the 19th century are exhibited over an area of 60,600 square meters (652,300 square feet).
