The infamous and romantic 'City of Love' is visited hundreds of couples either hoping to tie the knot or enjoy an intimate and sentimental moment in a undeniably beautiful city. Paris has loads of destinations to be admired by travelers and tourists, as Paris is home to some of the world's most famous and beautiful pieces of architecture.

To begin, Paris is home to the world renowned Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is considered to be one of the major symbols of not only Paris, but France as a whole. Millions of tourists will come to see the beautiful wrought iron structure, where they can then go up the tower and see the breathtaking view of the city, as it lights up before the night sky. Whether you have a romantic partner or not, seeing this spectacular view is an opportunity that should be experienced by everyone.

Not only is Paris, France famous for the amazing architecture behind the Eiffel Tower, but it is also home to the Notre Dame Cathedral, which is one of the oldest, most well-known gothic style cathedrals in the world. The Notre Dame Cathedral is an iconic piece of history, as it once was the location of the coronation of Napoleón Bonaparte, the beatification of Joan of Arc and the coronation of Henry VI of England. However, if you plan to visit the cathedral in the near future, you may have to view the beautiful building from afar, as it suffered damage in 2019 following a fire that took place.

Although the cathedral is unable to be visited until reconstruction is complete, the Arc de Triomphe serves as another main symbol of Paris and the copious amount of history the country holds. The Arc de Triomphe is yet another fabulous structure located in the city of Paris, with the two-century-old monument standing as a representation of the French military victories during the Napoleonic Wars.

France has so much history to share, along with fascinating views like no other, which makes it an ideal travel destinations for so many tourists.
