Paris is the world's tourist capital.
Tourists will have to spend more than one month going around all the cultural and historical sites of Paris. There is really something to see.
The first building that most people associate with Paris is, of course, the Eiffel Tower. It was planned back in 1886, as a temporary structure in honor of the opening of the World Construction Exhibition. During the erection of this three-hundred-meter beauty, Parisians had a lot of debates. Many were convinced that the tower would cause aesthetic damage to the city and would not fit into its design. Some even feared that it would collapse.
Nevertheless, it survived, and already in the first year of its existence it paid off completely (7.8 million francs were spent on the construction of the tower, 6.3 of which were contributed by Eiffel himself to his own project). And in the future, the Eiffel Tower was wildly popular, which remains with it to this day.
The Louvre is a world–famous French museum, the main entrance is made in the form of a pyramid. It is located in the center of Paris, on the right bank of the Seine. It consists of three halls: the Richelieu wing, Denon and Sully.
The east wing is the oldest part of the museum – the Sully wing. The creations are collected here 17 – 18 – 19 centuries. Among them is the armless beauty Venus de Milo, who lost her limbs in 1820, during a quarrel between the Turks and the French. During the showdown, the statue was smashed.
The southern wing of the Louvre is Denon, where the famous "Gioconda" by Leonardo da Vinci is located, as well as the ancient Greek goddess of victory "Nika of Samothrace".
The Richelieu wing, created in 1993, in honor of the bicentennial of the museum's creation, finally put an end to the dispute "Louvre Museum or palace?".
It is also worth paying attention to the Boulevard of the Capuchins, its name comes from the female monastic Catholic order.
On this street, namely in house No. 14, for the first time in 1895, several short films were shown, for the first time in the history of mankind.
House No. 28 is famous all over the world, and the current Olympia Concert Hall, the oldest in Paris.
Nardan's photography studio is also located at No. 35 Kaputsinok Boulevard. 1xBet bookmaker offers a bonus to all new users.
