Church of the Madeleine
The Church of the Madeleine has a neoclassical appearance in its exterior very similar to the greek temples, reinforced thanks to 52 corinthian columns of 20 meters of height and an extensive pediment in which a high relief of the Final judgment is represented.
On the other hand, its interior, projected in baroque style and formed by a single nave with three lightly illuminated domes, generates a strong contrast between the interior/facade of the church.

Louvre Museum
Inaugurated in 1793, the Louvre Museum is the national museum of France and one of the most important in the world, specializing its collections in the prior art to Impressionism.
One of its most recognizable elements is the enormous glass pyramid located in its courtyard, designed to access underground the different rooms of the museum located in the old castle of the Louvre (later converted into a Royal palace).

L'Hôtel-de-Ville square
The town hall (Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, prevously called Place de Grève) has housed the Paris City Council since 1357.
In recent years, L'Hôtel-de-Ville square has been decorated in spring and summer with an "ephemeral garden", in which the town hall installs hundreds of plant species in addition to a pond, while in autumn and winter we opt for specialized kiosks and attractions such as merry-go-rounds.

Pantheon of Paris
This neoclassical monument is famous for hosting the coffins of 65 personalities in the history of France, among whom we can highlight figures such as those of Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, Jean Moulin, Marie Curie, Louis Braille, Jean Monnet or Soufflot.
The Pantheon of Paris, classified as a historical monument in 1920, has since 1995 installed a replica of the Pendulum of Foucault (because it was in this building in which the experiment was carried out) with which it is possible to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth and the existence of Coriolis force.

The bridges of the river Seine
There are more than 30 bridges communicating the city of Paris along the 13 kilometers that cross the river Seine, among which we can find from ancient bridges built in stone to the most sober and recent made in metal, being the most interesting ones the Alexander III Bridge (formed by a single steel arch and decorated with four 17-meter columns, golden winged horses at the top and black chandeliers along with cherubs at the ends), the Pont De l'Alma and the New Bridge (the oldest bridge in Paris which, with 232 meters in length, is the longest bridge in the city).
Statue of Liberty
Located on the Isle of the Swans, this replica of the Statue of Liberty was inaugurated in 1889, being donated by the Parisian community with residence in the United States to the commune of Paris in commemoration of the centenary of the French Revolution.
In Paris you can find two more replicas of the Statue of Liberty: in the Luxembourg Garden's and in the Musée des Arts et Métiers.

Notre-Dame Cathedral
Notre-Dame Cathedral is a religious building dedicated to Mary (mother of Jesus Christ) located on the small island of the Cité, surrounded by the waters of the river Seine.
This cathedral, with stylistic influences of the Norman Romanesque and the Gothic style, in part obtained its popularity thanks to the romance Our Lady of Paris, written by Victor Hugo during Romanticism.
