One of the famous sites of Paris is Le Louvre, built around 1200, the Louvre was a former palace for the royal family and it became a museum in 1793 during the french revolution, and after the death of Louis 16.
Les Halles (also known as Forum des Halles) was named by Emile Zola " Belly of Paris" for all of its food vendors, but today all of that old marketplace is gone and replaced by shopping and restaurants. Around this lively place is Saint-Eustache, a splendid church built from 1532 to 1754.
The Centre George Pompidou (also called Beaubourg) is today one of the most popular attractions of Paris. Next to this famous building is the amazing and funny Stravinsky Fountain.
The Marais district stretches between the Bastille and the Hotel de Ville, and Le Marais means " the marsh" which comes from the flooding by the Seine until 16th century. The Place des Vosges is surrounded by an ensemble of 36 symmetrical stone houses of two storeys steep pitch slate roofs. This quarter is a very lively quarter with clothing boutiques, antique shops, boulangeries /patisseries, tea shops and bistrots.
