  • The Eiffel Tower This is probably the most famous monument in France, but at the beginning it was a not very well accepted. French citizens did not like it and thought it was a waste of money. This iron tower was built on the Champ de Mars beside the River Seine in Paris, and replaced the Washington Monument. It was called the Tower Eiffel in honour of its designer,the engineer Gustave Eiffel.

Arc de Triomphe - 0 views

  •  
    "The Arc de Triomphe dates back to Napoleon, the French Emperor, who conquered most of Europe in early 19th century. An admiror of the Roman Emperors, he followed their example and commissioned Arc de Triomphe in 1806. His victorious troops would march on through Arc de Triomphe cheered by Parisians. It never occured thanks to General Wellington who defeated Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815. "
