If there's one area you must visit on your trip to Paris, it's the Eiffel Tower district, to get a closer look at the fabulous Iron Lady, who watches over the capital from a height of 312 meters. Built in 1889 for the Universal Exhibition, it dominates the area and attracts millions of visitors from all over the world every year.
Around it, the Champ-de-Mars stretches out, a favorite spot for Parisians and tourists alike, whether picnicking with friends or simply relaxing and soaking up the sun. At the end of the Champ-de-Mars, recognizable by its golden dome, the Invalides, founded by Louis XIV in the 17th century, houses a military museum and Napoleon's tomb.
Finally, on the other side of the Seine, the Trocadéro is famous for its gardens and fountains, as well as the Palais de Chaillot , home to several museums including the Musée de l'Homme and the Musée national de la Marine. In short, there's so much to discover and do in this very corner of the capital.
If you're looking for something to eat between two discoveries, here are our top restaurant addresses in the Eiffel Tower, Invalides and Trocadero areas!
