Activity itinerary

Eiffel Tower (Pass by)
The Eiffel Tower has been built by French engineer Gustave Eiffel, for the 1889 Universal Exhibition in Paris. This magnificent technical feat was achieved in a mere two years, two months and five days. It stands 324 metres tall, and the metal structure weighs 7,300 tonnes. Parisians were scandalised by its metallic look and height. It was built to last 20 years. A radio antenna was added to the top in 1903, saving the tower from demolition. It has now become the monument symbolic of Paris.
Cathedrale de la Sainte-Trinite (Pass by)
The new Russian Orthodox church is known as the Holy Trinity Cathedral. The centre houses a bilingual Franco-Russian school, a parish house, and a cultural centre.
The American Church in Paris (Pass by)
The American Church in Paris with its green clock-tower is the first american church built outside of the US, in 1931. The stained-glass windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany have been listed as a historic monument.
Invalides (Pass by)
The Hotel des Invalides was built to the orders of Louis XIV as a military hospital for injured soldiers and officers. Today, the royal chapel houses the tomb of France’s first Emperor, Napoleon I.
Pont Alexandre III (Pass by)
Pont Alexandre III was built for the 1900 Universal Exhibition and to seal the Franco-Russian Alliance. Its central feature is the Paris coat of arms covered in gold leaf and two nymphs symbolising the river Seine. On the other side of the bridge, you’ll see the arms of Saint Petersburg, and two nymphs symbolising the river Neva.
Pont de la Concorde (Pass by)
Pont de la Concorde was built using stones from the former Bastille prison after it was famously stormed during the French Revolution in 1789. It leads to the Palais Bourbon on your right, seat of the National Assembly, and to your left to the Place de la Concorde.

Pont-Neuf (Pass by)
The Pont Neuf, or New Bridge is actually the oldest bridge in Paris. It was the first Parisian bridge to be built in stone with pavements rather than houses lining it. It features 381 grimacing stone masks, all individually decorated and unique.
Pont Saint-Michel (Pass by)
Pont Saint-Michel has been built at the request of Napoleon III, hence the two imperial Ns on its pillars. To the right, it leads to the Latin Quarter, so called because students at the University of Paris there spoke Latin until the 19th century.
Ile de la Cite (Pass by)
Ile de la Cité, the presumed birthplace of Paris, is one of the two natural islands in Paris. The Parisii tribe first settled here 300 years before the Common Era, calling the island Lutetia.
