Paris, Banks of the Seine
From the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower, from the Place
de la Concorde to the Grand and Petit Palais, the evolution of Paris
and its history can be seen from the River Seine. The Cathedral of
Notre-Dame and the Sainte Chapelle are architectural masterpieces while
Haussmann's wide squares and boulevards influenced late 19th- and
20th-century town planning the world over.
