¿Qué hay del lado del Trocadero? ¡La torre Eiffel, por supuesto!

Desde esta cumbre legendaria, la capital francesa se ve aún más bella, tan pequeña, desde lo alto, y al mismo tiempo tan extendida. Pero, ¿sabía usted que estos míticos 324 metros de metal están muy bien rodeados?

Al pie de la torre Eiffel fluye el Sena, desde donde se descubre París, navegando por el río y contemplando la ciudad desde el puente de algún barco. Los alrededores, debajo de inmensas porciones de cielo, con palacios monumentales, explanadas y árboles centenarios.

Reina de las escapadas al aire libre, la colina de Chaillot es también la representación magnificada del arte y la cultura. Tendrá que elegir o ver todo: ¡miles de tesoros al alcance de sus manos!

Un florilegio de acontecimientos diversos y variados le pone ritmo y dinamismo al extenso barrio del Trocadero. Museos y espacios culturales proponen, a lo largo del año, una amplia gama de exposiciones temporarias que ponen de relieve el arte contemporáneo, las primeras expresiones artísticas, la moda, la arquitectura así como una amplia variedad de disciplinas

On and around the Champs-Elysées

Situated a short walk from Gustave Eiffel’s majestic tower, the Avenue des Champs-Elysées lives up to its reputation as the “world’s most beautiful avenue” more and more each year. Around it and between the Arc de Triomphe and the Place de la Concorde are luxury stores, the most prominent restaurants, four-star hotels, prestigious entertainment venues (Lido, Queen, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées … ) and the most popular museums and monuments (Arc de Triomphe, Grand Palais … )

Trocadéro and Passy

Situated on the opposite side of the Seine from the Eiffel Tower, Trocadéro is home to splendid gardens and ornamental ponds and fountains as well as the cultural richness of the Palais de Chaillot, the Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine and the Musée de la Marine. Just behind Trocadéro is the ‘village’ of Passy with its charms of yesteryear, its church and its cemetery where Manet and Debussy are buried

Alma and Iéna

Trendy and chic, Iéna has stamped an omnipresent creativity on this district: the Palais de Tokyo, the Musée d’Art Moderne, the Palais Galliera and the Musée Baccarat … A must since the death of Princess Diana in 1997, the bridge at Alma has become a constant place of pilgrimage for visitors. But Alma is also about fashion (Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint-Laurent), the arts (Musée du Quai Branly) and the spiritual (Cathédrale Américaine de Paris)

In and around Invalides

With its imposing size and its intimidating canons, the Hôtel National des Invalides (home to the Musée de l’Armée and the tomb of Napoléon) symbolizes the power of a district which in a small area boasts the Palais Bourbon, the Champ-de-Mars, the Musée d’Orsay, Musée Rodin, the Ecole Militaire and the Pont Alexandre III

The Eiffel Tower and its surroundings

A veritable architectural feat 324-metres-high, the Eiffel Tower remains THE symbol of Paris but every year it also becomes more and more symbolic of France to foreigners. Difficult to exist in the shadow of such a giant. But there are newcomers on the scene (Musée du Quai Branly) and older residents (Ecole Militaire, Trocadéro, Invalides … ) its glorious neighbours don’t seem to mind the imposing shadow of the tower. Quite the opposite, this popular tourist area is full of interesting places to visit whether on foot, by Vélib’ or on the Seine
