Triomphe built to commemorate Napoleon's victories; the

boutiques; the famous Eiffel Tower built for the
World's Fair in 1889; the Invalides (Napoleon's

charming Place des Voges. During your tour, you will
have time for a couple of photo stops.
In an extra hour, your driver/guide can include a visit to
the area of Montmartre, well-known as the artist's
quarter. Standing high on one of Paris's hills is the
wonderfully imposing Sacre-Coeur, which dates back to
the late 19th century. Just below the church is the area
that became the artists quarter at the end of the 19th
century. The wonderful winding streets and the Place du
Tertre were the centre of a free, bohemian existence.
Artists such as Berlioz and Picasso lived here. Visit the
famous Lapin Agile, the artist's favoured
hang-out.
Your tour guide will collect you from your Paris hotel,
