Ffel_trocadero-3Tour Eiffel, Pont Alexandre III, Invalides, Palais de Tokyo This is the Paris of wide-open spaces. On each side of the Seine, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower: stately and majestically proportioned palaces, stunning views and ministries tucked away in very special mansion houses…

Upon leaving the streets of the old part of town, you are immediately caught by the fresh air and buffeted by the wind. Stand in awe beneath the dome of the Invalides, then come back to earth to discover the charming Musée Rodin and its gardens. On the other Nt-alexandre-IIIside of the esplanade des Invalides, there is only the splendid Alexandre III Bridge between you and the buzz of the Champs-Elysées. What a place! Everywhere you look, the horizon seems remote, and the perspective is only broken by the imposing horizontal lines of huge buildings dominated by the famous Tower. You can climb its three floors to admire the view, then stretch out on the lawns of the Champ-de-Mars. Opposite, you can see Trocadéro with its museums and, down below, the Palais de Tokyo.
