City ​​of love, paris

Arch of Triumph

This is another of the most representative monuments of Paris along with the previous ones. When we arrive we will see that it is like a large roundabout in which hundreds of cars cross. With fifty meters tall, its construction was ordered by Napoleon after finishing the battle of Austerlitz. At the base is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with a flame that burns for all those French soldiers who died in the war and were never recognized. You can access its interior to enjoy the views from above, and to get there it is best to use the underpasses, since the roundabout is very dangerous for passersby.
This is another of the most essential visits in Paris, especially if you are fans of art. It was inaugurated in the XNUMXth century and since then it has not stopped receiving visits, being one of the most famous in the world. It was in 1989 that the huge glass pyramid was built, which today is its most characteristic image, and which gives it a more modern appearance, and is currently the entrance to the museum. Some of his most important works are the painting of the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci or that of Liberty guiding the people by Delacroix, and in sculptures they have the Venus de Milo of Ancient Greece or the Seated Scribe of Ancient Egypt.

Other interesting visits

Previous visits are definitely a must, but there are many other places that can be very interesting if we have time. As for example the A Paris pantheon, from the XNUMXth century, which is inspired by Greek architecture and whose interior is impressive, with its large dome or the crypt with the tomb of famous people such as Voltaire or Victor Hugo.
La The Sacred Heart Basilica It is located at the top of Montmartre, and both for the views and for the beauty of the building it is worth going to it. You can also climb to its highest part to see Paris, and to get to the basilica it is best to take the funicular there, otherwise we will have to climb many steps to get there.
Nor can we leave behind the Palace of Versailles, the royal residence, with incredible architecture, luxurious interiors and beautiful gardens. It is not in the center of Paris but your visit is worth it, so it must be done in advance.
One of the symbols of the United States is the Statue of Liberty. Movies and television have taken care of that and anyone who goes to New York includes his visit in the tourist itinerary. If you don't know much about her, I'll tell you that she has an interesting story, so today we are going to get to know her.
First, although we all know her as the Statue of Liberty, the real name is Freedom lighting the world.
Is located on Liberty Island, south of Manhattan Island, next to the mouth of the Hudson River and not far from the famous Ellis Island. It is a gift from the government of France to the government of the United States on the first centenary of the independence of the northern country.
The United States became independent from Great Britain in 1776 and then entered the Civil War, an internal struggle that bled the country dry between 1861 and 1865. At that time, the French politician and jurist Eduardo Laboulaye, deputy and senator of the Third Republic, had the idea of ​​deepening rapprochement with the United States by offering it a statue.
