Photo gallery: The wonderful music of France The Eiffel Tower is located on the south bank of the Seine River in the center of Paris.
It is the world's first steel tower and is considered a symbol of Paris.
It is named after the famous French architect Stafford Eiffel who designed and built it.
It was built from 1887 to 1889.
The tower is more than 300 meters high and weighs 9,000 tons.
It is divided into three floors.
The first platform is 57 meters above the ground and has shops and restaurants; the second platform is 115 meters high and has a cafe; the third-floor platform is 276 meters high for tourists to overlook, and the bottom area reaches 10,000 square meters.
On the third floor, the building structure suddenly shrinks and points to the sky.
Viewed from one side, it looks like the letter Y written backwards.
The tower consists of more than 18,000 parts and more than 2.5 million rivets.
There is an elevator or a hike to the top of the tower.
At night, rotating colored searchlights are emitted from the top of the tower to prevent aircraft collisions.
Beside the tower stands a rectangular white marble column with a gilded head of Steve Eiffel on top.
The Louvre is one of the largest palace buildings in France, located on the right bank of the Seine River in the center of Paris, south of the Paris Opera Square.
Originally a medieval castle, it was rebuilt and expanded many times in the 16th century and reached its current size in the 18th century.
It covers an area of ??approximately 45 hectares.
As early as 1546, King Francois I of France decided to build a new palace on the basis of the original castle.
After that, after continuous expansion by nine monarchs, it took more than 300 years to form a magnificent U-shaped palace complex.
On August 10, 1993, the anniversary of the overthrow of the monarchy, the French National Association decided to turn the former Forbidden City into the National Gallery of Art; on November 18 of the same year, the Louvre Museum was officially opened to the public.
The entire project was completed in 1857.
In the mouth-shaped main hall on the west side of the Louvre, two side halls stretch out, and the open space in the middle forms the Place Carrousel.
There is a long colonnade on the east side of the palace and the building is magnificent.
Its 900-foot-long gallery houses an extensive collection of works by many artists from the 17th century and the European Renaissance.
The collection reaches 400,000 pieces.
The Louvre Museum of Fine Arts is divided into six parts: the Museum of Greek and Roman Art; the Oriental Art Museum; the Egyptian Art Museum; the European Medieval, Renaissance and Modern Statue Hall; and the Painting Hall of the Past Dynasties.
The exhibition is divided into different schools, different schools and different eras.
The sculptures are on display on the first floor.
Two layers of oil painting, three layers of drawing and pastel.
In the early 1980s, the French government implemented the Grand Louvre Plan to expand and repair the Louvre.
Notre Dame de Paris is the most famous medieval Gothic cathedral, renowned for its size, age, and archaeological and architectural value.
The Bishop of Paris, Maurice Dexuli, had envisioned merging two early basilicas into one cathedral.
Pope Alexander III laid the foundation stone in 1163, dedicated the high altar in 1189, and completed the choir, west facade and nave in 1240. Over the next hundred years, decorations such as the porch and prayer room were completed.
The internal plane is 13048m, the roof is 35m high and the tower is 68m high.
The spire of this tower was never built.
After years of destruction, the church had to be rebuilt in the 19th century, with only three huge round windows still remaining. This ancient castle has eight towering and fortified bastions, originally built to defend against British invasion.
From 1380 to 1422, the castle was converted into a royal prison.
The entire castle covers an area of ??2,670 square meters and is surrounded by tall and thick stone walls and eight towers more than 30 meters high.
A deep trench 24 meters wide was dug around it and a suspension bridge was set up to access it.
As early as the 16th century, political prisoners were imprisoned here, and the French Enlightenment thinker Voltaire was imprisoned here twice.
In the eyes of the French people, the Bastille has become a symbol of French feudal autocracy.
On July 3, 1989, the people of Paris revolted and stormed the Bastille on the 14th, kicking off the French Revolution.
In 791, the people of Paris demolished the Bastille, built the Place de la Bastille on the old site, and laid the removed stones on the Pont de la Concorde on the Seine River for passersby to use.
In 1830, the French people built a martyrs monument in the center of the square to commemorate the July Revolution.
This martyr monument is 52 meters high.
The main body of the monument is a cylinder made of bronze, known as the July Urn.
At the top of the column is a golden-winged Statue of Liberty, holding a torch in her right hand.
The broken chain on its left hand symbolizes freedom.
There is a sign in front of the prison door that says: Let's dance here!
In June 1880, France designated July 14, the day when the people of Paris stormed the Bastille, as France’s National Day.
