👍👍 Monumento de visita obligada por su interés no sólo histórico sino sobretodo emocional para el pueblo francés dado que esta tumba del soldado desconocido representa desde el 11 11 1920 cuando se construyó a todos los soldados franceses fallecidos en la primera guerra mundial y sólo por eso como turi...

Hôtel de la Vrillière

Historical landmark

👍👍 The most wonderful example of Regency and Grand Siècle styles that one can see. The gallery - when the enarques who monopolize it for their profit, while making us pay for its upkeep - is visible, it is a marvel in which we can stay for several hours looking at all the rich and abundant details of t...

Best Door in Paris

Historical landmark

👍👍 Teeming with plants and living beings of all kinds, this Parisian facade is at first glance a little unsettling: today classified as a historic monument, it was designed in 1900 by the architect Jules Lavirotte who made it a new witness to its penchant for Art Nouveau and its curved lines. At the ti...

Statue de Thomas Jefferson

Historical landmark

👍👍 I was in France last week and took an early morning jog along the River Seine. I went to where Thomas Jefferson stood and where they say he found architectural inspiration for his Monticello when looking at Paris’ Hotel Salm. The Hotel de Salm was constructed between 1782 and 1787. Thomas Jefferson...

In 1916, the agreement was implemented: four separate brigades (...

Place de l'Abbé Basset

Historical landmark

👍👍 This is a place for fans of the movie "Midnight in Paris." It's the place where the protagonist takes a taxi every night at midnight and is transported in time to the golden age of Paris. It is still a nice place to visit and is a little off the beaten path and therefore more quiet. You can also...

Le Mur des Justes

Historical landmark

👍👍 A few steps in front of this wall, thinking of this time when, in the chaos, men and women "like everyone else" defended the oppressed, protected children from certain death, allowed France to have today with my head held high. Respect !

In 1804, he was acquired for the Legion of Honor on the orders of Napoleon Bonaparte. It was redeveloped between 1871 and 1878 - following a fire which occurred during the last days of t...
