Location: Paris < France
Take a gentle stroll between the Louvre and place des Vosges to enjoy a spot of shopping, or discover local heritage. In fact, everything is possible as long as you know how to juggle with different styles.
The medieval Jean-sans-Peur Tower surges out from amongst Haussmanian buildings, while the flamboyant Gothic architecture of the Saint-Jacques Tower is just a stone’s throw from the fountain at Châtelet, built in praise of Napoléon I. The square in front of the neo-Renaissance Paris City Hall is also an impromptu venue for beach-volleyball.
The church of Saint-Eustache, where Molière was christened, stands next to the metallic footbridges of the Les Halles gardens. A few steps away from the Renaissance bas-reliefs of the Fountain of the Innocents is the Pompidou Centre, symbol of 20th-century architecture and home to modern and contemporary art collections.
