Paris  -  [Matches:  56 properties]

Paris is a stylish and cosmopolitan city with a rich history and a sophisticated ambiance. It is filled with art galleries, shops, and excellent restaurants. There are cafes, boulevards, monuments, and museums. It has long been a destination for lovers, intellectuals, and artists. Paris features a melange of architectural styles. Perhaps the most eye-catching would be Art Nouveau, as evidenced in many civic buildings, including the entrances to the metro that sprang up in the 1890's. In direct contrast are the modern Centre Pompidou, the Opera Bastille, and La Grande Arche in La Defense. In terms of historic buildings, Notre-Dame remains an a beautiful example of the transition between the Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. Paris is home to many important historical monuments, including the Place de la Concorde, where the guillotines were held during the French revolution, and the Louvre, former home of the King of France. The Louvre houses Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, as well as master works by Michelangelo and Delacroix. In addition to the Louvre, there are small museums devoted to many of the world’s greatest artists and writers, such as Musee Delacroix, Musee Maillol, Maison de Victor Hugo, Musee Rodin, and Musee Picasso. Formerly a train station, the Musee D'orsay opened on the Right Bank in 1986. It houses an amazing collection of Impressionist art by the likes of Cezanne, Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, and many others.
