Disneyland Paris

 The most celebrated landmark in Paris is also the best view in the city if you can put up with the huge queues to the elevators or deal with the endless stairs.

Cité des sciences
 This is the science museum to end all science museums, and worth visiting for the interior of the building alone: all glass and stainless steel, crow's-nests and cantilevered platforms, bridges and suspended walkways, the different levels linked by lifts

 This church in the center of Paris remains one of the finest achievements of French High Gothic, renowned for its exquisite stained-glass windows.
Le Sacré-Cœur
 The white ice-cream-dome of the Church of the Sacre-Coeur has somehow become an essential part of the Paris skyline. The church is almost as high as the Eiffel Tower, and from the top you can see the layout of the whole city a wide, flat basin ringed by low hills.
Le Panthéon
 The most visible of Paris's many domes graces the hulk of the Panthéon, which tops the Montagne Ste-Geneviève.

The interior is well worth a visit, with the gigantic Foucauld's pendulum demonstrating the rotation of the earth.

 Paris's oldest prison, where Marie-Antoinette and, in their turn, the leading figures of the Revolution, were incarcerated before execution.
Notre-Dame
 One of the masterpieces of the Gothic age, the Cathédrale de Notre-Dame rears up from the Île de la Cité like a great ship moored by huge flying buttresses.
