Monuments

The history of Paris lives through its monuments. Tourists from around the world crowd to climb the Tour Eiffel, or visit the military history at the Defense. The Arc de Triomphe is a French landmark, and the Pantheon has such historical tales. We knew we were in Paris to discover the city from the inside, to see what's there besides the tourist-ridden monuments. Still, a few of us couldn't help but see what all the fuss was all about. The monuments we visited all had their own unique and fascinating stories and revealed much to us of the history of the city itself. Here are only a few of the most famous buildings in the world.
