Wander through the Musée de l'Orangerie, which is located only a short walk away. Located in what was once the orangery of the Tuileries Palace, this art museum on the bank of the Seine River is famed for its collection of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings.

Stroll a short way to the Grand Palais des Champs-Élysées and neighboring Petit Palais, both palatial Beaux-Arts-style buildings built in preparation for the 1900 Paris Exposition World’s Fair.

Marvel at the statuesque Luxor Obelisk that towers over Place de la Concorde, one of the city’s major public squares. Built during the reign of Ramesses II and gifted to France in November 1830 by Muhammad Ali Pasha, the ruler of Ottoman Egypt, its slightly taller twin remains in its original location in front of the Luxor Temple in Egypt.
