Two of Paris’s most beautiful landmarks , the golden-domed Hôtel des Invalides and the world-famous Eiffel Tower, are found in these quarters. Large parts of the area were created in the 19th century, when there was still room to construct wide avenues and grassy esplanades leading to the monumental buildings. To the east of the Invalides are numerous stately mansions now converted into embassies, and the French parliament.

  • A local Brasserie right by the Eiffel Tower with excellent food & service! Our waiter was very friendly-- probably the most friendly waiter we met on our whole trip to France. My husband & I enjoyed the most amazing Bordeaux wine along with our meal. Every course was delightful, but the creme brulee was especially divine. Go eat there-- we stumbled upon it because it was near to our hotel!
