Eglise Saint-Roch - Measuring 126 meters in length and inspired by the design of Notre-Dame-de-Paris, the Saint-Roch Church is one of the largest in Paris. Due to the many decades it took to build, the Church of Saint-Roch features a mix of architectural styles, including classical and baroque.

Place-Vendome - Laid out in 1702 as a monument to the glory of Louis XIV’s armies, the square was later replaced by the Vendôme Column, modeled after Trajan’s Column in Rome, to commemorate Napoleon Bonaparte’s victory at Austerlitz in 1805. Today, it is renowned for its luxury boutiques, particularly jewelry stores.

Opera Garnier - The glamorous Opera Garnier was commissioned by Emperor Napoleon III as part of his project to reconstruct Paris. A competition for the best design was held in 1860 to build the new Paris Opera House, also known as Palais Garnier. It has long been a center of cultural excellence, hosting numerous high-profile operas and ballets.
