Paris was made for walking, and no single line captures it better than the historic axis that runs west from the old city to the great arch on the hill. In one unhurried day you cross from the medieval island of Île de la Cité, past the largest art museum on earth, through royal gardens and a square of revolutions, and up the most famous avenue in the world.

The route runs almost entirely in a straight line, so you are never doubling back. Wear comfortable shoes, take your time over coffee, and let the museums and gardens tempt you off the path.

Getting there. From Charles de Gaulle airport take the RER B train (~35 min) to Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame, which puts you steps from the start on Île de la Cité.

Permits & tickets. The walk itself is free. Notre-Dame reopened in December 2024 after the 2019 fire and entry is free, though a timed reservation is recommended. The Louvre requires a timed ticket (~€22). Climbing the Arc de Triomphe terrace costs ~€16; the Tuileries and Place de la Concorde are free and open.

    عن هذا المكان

    The Louvre is a national art museum in Paris, France. It is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the city's 1st arrondissement (district) and home to some of the most canonical works of Western art, including the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Winged Victory. The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace, originally built in the late 12th to 13th century under Philip II. Remnants of the Medieval Louvre fortress are visible in the basement of the museum. Due to urban expansion, the fortress eventually lost its defensive function, and in 1546 Francis I converted it into the primary residence of the French kings.

    عن هذا المكان

    The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, often simply called the Arc de Triomphe, is one of the most famous monuments in Paris, France. It is located at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, at the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle—formerly known as the Place de l'Étoile—named for the star-shaped configuration formed by the convergence of twelve radiating avenues. The monument is situated at the intersection of three arrondissements: the 16th, the 17th, and the 8th. Commissioned to honor those who fought and died for France during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the Arc bears the names of French victories and generals engraved on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I, marked by an eternal flame commemorating unidentified fallen soldiers.
