The Eiffel Tower is one of the most popular structures in France. It is located in Paris, France. It was built by Gustavo Eiffel, who built it in 1879 as the gateway to the Paris International Exhibition. The height of the tower is 324 meters. At that time, the tower was made of 18,038 small and large pieces of iron of different shapes. Built of iron for visitors, the tower has three levels. However, the third level is used to observe the city of Paris. 

The tower has become a landmark in Paris and a feature of various films. Christmas is the best time to visit the Eiffel Tower. At this time, when the whole city of Paris is illuminated and the tower shines in the darkness of night, the image of this unique destination seems magical. Also, the rink was replaced for the seasonal ice skating game in Paris during Christmas. On an average, about 25,000 visitors visit the Eiffel Tower every day.

Louvre Museum

The Louvre Museum, one of the most famous and rich in the world, is located in Paris, the capital of France. Construction of the museum in France was completed in 1200, although construction began 200 years ago. However, the reign of Emperor Napoleon is called the Golden Age of Louvre. Under his leadership, French hegemony spread throughout Europe, and the museum's collection grew dramatically. He brought here and stored valuable goods and artefacts looted from the conquered countries.

But after the fall of Napoleon, many of these valuable commodities and artefacts were returned to the conquered countries. In 1848, the Louvre became the state property of France. At present, it has a number of Greek, Egyptian, Roman and Oriental artefacts in a separate gallery with 6 administrative divisions. The museum has works of art and sculpture by many famous artists and sculptors. Leonardo da Vinci's world-famous work 'Mona Lisa' is preserved in this Louvre. Thousands of tourists visit this museum every day.

Mont Saint-Mitchell

One of the most interesting places in France is Mont Saint-Mitchell. Rising from the sea, Mont Saint-Mitchell is like a strange fictional castle. It is located on a small island off the coast of Normandy in France, which is affected by the highest tide in Europe. The medieval castle was transformed into a church and became one of the most important tourist attractions in France. There are also shops, restaurants and small hotels. UNESCO listed Mont Saint-Mitchell as a World Heritage Site in 1989. About 300,0000 visitors come to see this church every year.

Versailles

Versailles is a small village in France, famous for its huge and magnificent palace (Chateau). This place is one of the finest examples of French art. The original residence only developed as a hunting lodge for Louis XIII and his family, but was later converted into a massive building surrounded by gardens. The most important rooms of the palace are the glass hall and the majestic palace of the king. The king used to impress the audience by displaying his royal powers in the glass hall. 

The palace eventually lost its grip on power and was built in 1830 to become a museum of French history. This was at a time when the rooms of these palaces were the source of new treasures in the history of the country. Tourists usually come to Versailles only to visit the famous palace. Although the city has become a wonder in its own right. Apart from the palace, the rest of the attractions in the city take tourists to the depths of pleasure.

French Riviera

In fifth place on the list of the most interesting places in France is the French Riviera or Coat d'Ivoire. It is one of the most attractive coastal areas of France, which is synonymous with "glamor". Coat d'Azur means "blue coast" due to the deep blue color of the Mediterranean Sea. However, in English it is called French Riviera. It stretches from Saint Tropez to Manton on the Italian border. In the summer it becomes a meeting place for beach-lovers. Many rich people are seen on ships and yachts. The Cannes is famous for its celebrity film festivals and hotels.
