Guide: Eiffel Tower, Rodin, Orsay, and Invalides

The 7th holds some of Paris's clearest cultural landmarks: the Eiffel Tower, Orsay's railway-station museum, Rodin's sculpture rooms and garden, and the Invalides dome. This guide describes the places directly rather than treating them as logistics.

  • Eiffel TowerThe Eiffel Tower is Paris's defining landmark, built for the 1889 Exposition Universelle. Its iron lattice structure, observation levels, engineering history, restaurants, and night illumination make it a cultural monument as much as a viewpoint.
  • Musee d'OrsayMusee d'Orsay is a former railway station turned art museum, holding the world's largest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces. Monet, Renoir, Degas, Manet, Van Gogh, sculpture, and decorative arts fill the great hall and upper galleries.
  • Musee RodinMusee Rodin presents Rodin's sculpture inside the Hotel Biron and its garden, including The Thinker, The Kiss, The Gates of Hell, studies, plasters, and outdoor bronzes. The museum shows both finished icons and the making process behind them.
  • Les InvalidesLes Invalides is a vast 17th-century complex built for veterans, now housing military museums, courtyards, the gilded Dome Church, and Napoleon's tomb. Its scale makes it one of the major architectural anchors of the 7th.
