这座塔高324米(1063英尺)，与81层楼高差不多。完工后，它超越了华盛顿纪念碑，成为世界上最高的人造建筑的头衔，这个头衔被保留了41年，直到1930年纽约的克莱斯勒大厦建成;然而，由于1957年天线的增加，塔现在比克莱斯勒大厦高。它不包括广播天线，是2004年米洛高架桥之后法国第二高的建筑。

这座塔有三个等级供游客使用。门票可以通过楼梯或电梯购买到第一层和第二层。走到第一层的台阶有300多个台阶，从第一个台阶到第二层台阶。第三和最高水平只能通过电梯进入。第一层和第二层都有餐厅。

这座塔已经成为巴黎和法国最突出的象征，经常是在城市里拍摄电影的场景。

2.凯旋门

凯旋门是巴黎最著名的纪念碑之一。在香榭丽舍大街的西端，它位于查尔斯·戴高乐的中心。[1]有一个较小的拱，凯旋门，它位于卢浮宫的西面。凯旋门(以英语为“凯旋门”)，表彰那些在法国大革命和拿破仑战争中为法国而战和牺牲的人，他们的名字来自法国的所有胜利，而将军们则在其内部和外部表面上刻有铭文。在它的拱顶下躺着第一次世界大战中无名士兵的墓。

凯旋门是历史轴心(斧头史家)的关键所在，它是一条从卢浮宫的庭院、通往拉德芳斯大拱门的路线上的一系列纪念物和宏伟的大道。这个纪念碑是由Jean Chalgrin在1806年设计的，它的肖像项目是在连锁邮件中，以英勇的裸体法国年轻人对抗长胡子的日耳曼战士。它为公共纪念碑定下了基调，带有胜利的爱国主义信息。

纪念碑的高度为50米(164英尺)，宽45米(148英尺)，深22米(72英尺)。大拱顶高29.19米(95.8英尺)，宽14.62米(48.0英尺)。这个小拱顶高18.68米(61.3英尺)，宽8.44米(27.7英尺)。它是现存的第二大凯旋门(在平壤凯旋门之后)。它的设计灵感来自于罗马拱门(Titus)。“凯旋门”是如此之大，以至于在1919年的巴黎胜利阅兵式上，在第一次世界大战结束时，查尔斯·戈德维德(Charles Godefroy)驾驶着他的Nieuport biplane飞行，并在新闻片上捕捉到这一事件。

Characteristics: Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are relatively small, their skin is relatively thick, and their seeds are large - all three factors contributing to a high solids-to-juice ratio. This ratio translates into deeply colored wines with a firm tannic structure. Wines make entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon can be so tannic that winemakers often blend Merlot and sometimes Cabernet Franc with their Cabernet. In the Bordeaux region of France, in fact, where Cabernet became famous, such blending is the norm. If the grapes have not ripened perfectly, Cabernet wine can have vegetal aromas and flavors, specifically raw green bell peppers. At full ripeness, Cabernet gives its wine the aroma and flavor of black currants or cassis. The best wines from Cabernet tend to age very well, developing fascinating aromas such as leather, tobacco, lead pencil, and cedar along the way.

of the best ways to get to know France is to visit a local market. Strolling among the stalls on Boulevard Richard Lenoir in Paris one morning, we watched as finicky chefs picked through crates of Brittany mussels and truck drivers recharged themselves with tiny cups of strong coffee. A little girl helped her mother arrange bouquets of fresh flowers. A well-heeled woman dismissed the fruit of four different vendors before finding the perfect pear. The sights and smells lured us to participate, and stammering in bad French, we asked the vendors which cheese to pack for an afternoon picnic. Opinions were diverse, and we eventually settled on a pungent variety made from sheep's milk. For visitors, all of France can seem like a market -- it's one of those rare countries where every region offers something worthwhile and distinctive. Paris represents the height of fashion, art and food -- its sense of style is so strong it intimidates some visitors, yet the city can also be remarkably comfortable and intimate. The provinces offer their own landscapes and cultures: the glittering crowds of the Cote d'Azur, the elegant chateaus of the Loire Valley, the hospitable vineyards of Bordeaux, the rocky coasts of Brittany, the dramatic slopes of the Alps and the Pyrenees and the charming farms and villages of Provence. The country can satisfy just about any traveler's taste. 这里有图可以看看：）~~ France's Bordeaux region; southern France; California, Washington State, Long Island, and many other U.S. wine regions; Australia; South Africa; Chile; Argentina; isolated parts of Spain and Portugal; parts of Italy; Romania; Bulgaria.

The name “France” comes from Latin Francia, which literally means “land of the Franks” or “Frankland”. There are various theories as to the origin of the name of the Franks. One is that it is derived from the Proto-Germanic word frankon which translates as javelin or lance as the throwing axe of the Franks was known as a francisca.Another proposed etymology is that in an ancient Germanic language, Frank means free as opposed to slave. This word still exists in French as franc, it is also used as the translation of “Frank” and to name the local money, until the use of the euro in the 2000s.However, rather than the ethnic name of the Franks coming from the word frank, it is also possible that the word is derived from the ethnic name of the Franks,[citation needed] the connection being that only the Franks, as the conquering class, had the status of freemen. In German, France is still called Frankreich, which literally means “Realm of the Franks”. In order to distinguish from the Frankish Empire of Charlemagne, Modern France is called Frankreich, while the Frankish Realm is called Frankenreich.The word “Frank” had been loosely used from the fall of Rome to the Middle Ages, yet from Hugh Capet's coronation as “King of the Franks” (“Rex Francorum”) it became usual to strictly refer to the Kingdom of Francia, which would become France. The Capetian Kings were descended from the Robertines, who had produced two Frankish kings, and previously held the title of “Duke of the Franks” (“dux Francorum”). This Frankish duchy encompassed most of modern northern France but because the royal power was sapped by regional princes the term was then applied to the royal demesne as shorthand. It was finally the name adopted for the entire Kingdom as central power was affirmed over the entire kingdom.
