Musée Rodin
79 Rue de Varenne, 75007 Paris
musee-rodin.fr +33 144 186 110
The Rodin Museum is both a sublime, smaller museum and one of the city’s most relaxing green spots with its lovely garden sprinkled with sculptures and shade trees. Rooms on two floors of this 18th-century residence display extraordinarily vital bronze and marble sculptures by the French artist Auguste Rodin, such as: The Hand of God, The Burghers of Calais, Cathedral, that perennial crowd-pleaser The Thinker and the incomparable The Kiss. There are also some 15 works by Camille Claudel (1864–1943), sister of the writer Paul Claudel and Rodin’s mistress.

The Roman-Catholic basilica (built 1875-1914) is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city. Sacré-Cœur is a double monument, political and cultural, both a national penance for the supposed excesses of the Second Empire and socialist Paris Commune of 1871 crowning its most rebellious neighborhood, and an embodiment of conservative moral order, publicly dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was an increasingly popular vision of a loving and sympathetic Christ.

Eiffel tower - new glass roof in the 1st floor!
Champ de Mars, 5 Avenue Anatole France, 75007 Paris
eiffel-tower.com +33 892 70 12 39
The most famous symbol of Paris was built by engineer Gustave Eiffel for the World Exhibition in 1889, held in celebration of the French Revolution in 1789. The tower rises 324 meters tall (1,063 ft); when it was completed at the end of the 19th century it was twice as high as the Washington Monument, at the time the tallest structure in the world. Most of the year it opens at 9:30 a.m. and closes 11:45 p.m. In the newly reconstructed 1st floor tourist can walk in the glass roof. Stand on a transparent glass window is a big challenge for all who have prone to vertigo because the depth of 57 m appears beneath their feet.
