Eiffel Tower

The 7th Arrondissement

Home of the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides, this neighborhood is on the itinerary of any first visit to Paris. But it should certainly stay on the agenda for repeat visitors as there’s an impressive list of first-class museums in the area (Musée d’Orsay, Musée Rodin, Musée du Quai Branly to name a few), an exceptional gastronomic offer, and some of the best shopping in the capital. It’s also home to most of the foreign embassies, government ministries, and state administration offices.
