The right bank of the Seine has also many interesting and exceptional sights on offer! The Louvre is the most visited museum in the world, the Champs Elysees, the most beautiful avenue, and the Arc de Triomphe, the greatest symbol of Napoleon's Triumph - what more do you ask for? Let's plan your Paris Break!The Rive Droite sights actually account for the must-visits of the French Capital. Starting from the East, you cannot come to Paris without visiting the Louvre, or at least admiring the famous Glass Pyramid and the Carrousel! Le Louvre is indeed THE place to see, hosting the really well-known Leonard de Vinci's painting "Mona Lisa" - usually called La Joconde in French. But this sophisticated French musée is also a work of art in itself due to its remarquable architecture. Heading for the Champs Elysées then, you will pass by one of the busiest squares of Paris, the Place de la Concorde, where many celebrations and public events take place, the firework show on July, 14 being one of the most important ones. Be aware that this huge square-shaped roundabout also features traffic jams at peak times! Finally, let's go for a long walk towards the Arc de Triomphe, Napoleon's triumphal arch! Crossing first the Champs Elysees park and gardens (Jardins des Champs Elysees), you will quickly catch sight of the "Triumph Arch" erected at the end of the beautiful "Elysian Fields" avenue. Street lightings and glimmering, fashionable windows are definitely worth a night trip there! The Parisian Champs Elysées promenade is indeed famous for its chic restaurants and cafés, elegant cinemas and theatres, luxury shops and boutiques.
