The Lourve Musseum

The Louvre originated  from a royal palace back in the 14Th century,when  king Louis XIV-14 decided to move to the Versailles Palace they started to put art work in, I personally have been there it is a very beautiful historic place the walls are painted and there is over 14Km To walk around
the Louvre was built in 1793 the Louvre opened up to the Public which was around the time Australia was discovered which means Australia isn't very old compared To The whole of Europe
The newest edition to the Louvre is the glass dome, some people have different Opinions about it, me  hm i don't think i like it. i liked it when it have that really awesome beautiful garden because The Louvre is a very amazing old Historical place  and they just come and introduce something modern  its just not right in a area like that. that's like putting hip hop music in a church it doesn't belong does it?
The lourve holds many famous art works that go back all the way to the 13-14-15 century such as the Mona Lisa and the Venus of Milo

Arch of Triumph

The Arch of Triumph  is one of the most famous landmarks  in Paris it is where the burial Of the unknown soldiers lie from world war one
It is at the end of the Camps DE Elysèes - shont a Lee zay (English)and it is a circuit starting at the Louvre where a mini  Arch of Triumph is,
It was built in 1808 by a man called Jean Chalgrin but he died soon after in 1812 so a man called  Jean-Nicolas Huyot Took  over the job
A Man Called Victor Marie Hugo Died he was a very famous Poet, Writer,Play-writer and he played music
he was buried under the arch of Triumph in 1885
Did you know its one of the biggest and busiest round abouts in the world?
Also If you cross it its like 1 step Forward 2 steps back 5 steps Forward 3 steps back and its so confusing but for those people that look there is a tunnel to go under neath which also is where you can buy tickets to up and stand on the balcony
I myself have been there its pretty cool but i saw a person walk on a grave he got told off. Its a very respectful place. So when your visiting paris go see a monument of paris see something histrocical like The arch of triumph

Eiffel tower :)

The Eiffel tower was built in 1889 by a man called Gustave Eiffel it was finished in 1889 so it took 2 years to make
since 2004 it has been the tallest building in Paris France over 10 Million people visit every year,
To walk to the first level its 300 steps and from the 1st to the 2Nd its 300 as well But the third and last level you can not walk to, It is about 66 stories away from the second floor so you would need to catch an elevator, On first and second floors there  are cafès to eat at  and toilet use and also toilet use on the top but no cafès.
Only one man died during the making of the Eiffel tower
The Eiffel tower was made for the world fair to celebrate the french Revolution .
Thomas Edison visited the Eiffel tower and signed a guest check in list  he stayed there for 4 and a half hours look out the view  and checking that all the engineering was right
Ever Hitler walked to the top to put the german flag on it
When it all comes togeather...
Everyone likes the eiffel tower,or dreams to go there  and i think i know why
