Les Monuments
1. Le Tour Eiffel

It should come at little surprise that the Eiffel Tower is the world’s most visited paid monument – with at least a whopping 7 million visitors a year.

As one of the world’s largest and arguably most impressive museums (though the Hermitage in St Petersburg certainly competes), The Louvre is an absolute must see whilst in Paris.
