The Louvre Museum was constructed in 1190 as a fortified castle for Philip II, and its original relics are still held in the museum’s crypt. Four centuries of French kings lived here until 1793, when it became the home of the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the Victory of Samothrace and other famous pieces. When it opened to the public, the Louvre Paris France held 537 paintings. Today, those who come to Paris will see more than 380,000 pieces and 35,000 works of art at the Louvre, the second-largest art museum in the world, next to Moscow’s Hermitage.

In addition to the Louvre Paris France district, another popular location that Paris offers is the Eiffel Tower Paris hotels district. Near this cultural district, guests can find government buildings, historical monuments, the Musée d’Orsay, the Musée Rodin and Les Invalides nearby. The western section houses hotels that are close to the Arc de Triomphe, The Champs Elysées, Parc Monceau and the Palais des Congrès. To see the Notre Dame de Paris, travelers will want to stay north of the Seine River, where they’ll be a stone’s throw from the Pompadou Centre, Hôtel-de-Ville, Village St-Paul, Notre-Dame, the Conciergerie and Place des Vosges. The Latin Quarter of Paris is a trendy section of the city, where university students meet shoppers, bar hoppers and artists around the bohemian Paris Saint Germain neighborhood.
