The most monumental quarter of the city: the Eiffel Tower over the Champ-de-Mars, the golden dome of the Invalides above Napoleon's tomb, the masterpieces of the Musée d'Orsay and the roses of the Rodin garden.
This is the Paris of the postcards. Skip-the-line tickets for the great monuments and museums, plus river cruises — most with free cancellation. Book the Eiffel Tower and Orsay ahead; they sell out.
Timed access to the 1st and 2nd floors by lift, with an optional climb to the summit for the highest view over Paris.
Skip the line into the world's greatest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art, housed in a glorious former railway station.
The Musée de l'Armée and, under the gilded dome, the tomb of Napoleon — one of the grandest historical sites in the city.
Many cruises depart at the foot of the Eiffel Tower and the Pont de l'Alma, gliding past Orsay, the Louvre and the islands — magical at dusk.
Guided highlights tours — many starting on the Champ-de-Mars — to see the icons and learn the stories in a single, well-paced visit.
Timed entries and multi-day passes for the Rodin museum, the quai Branly and the great collections across the river.
No other quarter packs so many icons into one walk: the Iron Lady, a golden dome, a palace of Impressionists and the most elegant bridge in the city — all on the Left Bank.
Gustave Eiffel's 324-metre iron tower, built for the 1889 World's Fair and now the symbol of Paris. Ride to the summit, or admire it sparkling on the hour after dark from the Champ-de-Mars.
Louis XIV's vast veterans' hospital, crowned by a gilded dome. Beneath it lies the tomb of Napoleon; around it, the Musée de l'Armée tells France's military story.
A Beaux-Arts railway station turned museum, home to the greatest gathering of Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir and Degas anywhere on earth — beneath its great glass clocks.
The Hôtel Biron, where Rodin worked, surrounded by a rose garden dotted with The Thinker, The Kiss and The Gates of Hell. One of the most serene spots in Paris.
The gilded Pont Alexandre III and the riverside quays frame postcard views of the dome and the tower — and the boats that cruise beneath them.
Behind the monuments, the 7th is a real neighbourhood: the market street Rue Cler, the bistros of Rue Saint-Dominique and the grand store Le Bon Marché.
From classic bistros on Rue Saint-Dominique to one of the world's great restaurants, the 7th serves both comfort and haute cuisine.
A quintessential red-checked Parisian bistro near the tower, famous for its South-West cooking — and for hosting the Obamas on a state visit.
A no-reservations corner bistro from chef Christian Constant — honest, generous French cooking at fair prices, always buzzing.
Comfort classics served in little cast-iron cocottes, casual and lively — a reliable favourite a few steps from the Champ-de-Mars.
Alain Passard's legendary three-star temple to the vegetable, near the Rodin museum. A once-in-a-lifetime tasting; book far ahead.
The heart of the Rue Cler market street — a bustling, affordable brasserie perfect for people-watching over steak-frites or a salad.

The icons that define the Paris skyline, plus the museums and gardens around them — the landmarks worth building your day around.
The 324-metre Iron Lady on the Champ-de-Mars, open daily from 09:30. Lift or stairs to the 2nd floor, lift to the summit. Book a timed ticket ahead; sunset slots go first.
The golden-domed complex housing Napoleon's tomb and the Musée de l'Armée. Full ticket ~€20, with a late opening on the first Friday evening of the month.
The greatest Impressionist collection in the world, in a former railway station on the Seine. Closed Mondays; book a timed slot to skip the queue.
Rodin's sculptures set in the Hôtel Biron and its rose garden — The Thinker, The Kiss and more. A garden-only ticket is a bargain on a fine day.
Jean Nouvel's green-walled museum of the arts of Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas, with a living garden wall along the Seine.
The great lawn stretching from the Eiffel Tower to the École Militaire — the place to picnic, watch the tower sparkle and take the classic photo.

Paris is divided into 20 arrondissements that spiral outward clockwise from the centre, like a snail. The 7th sits on the Left Bank along the Seine, stretching from the Eiffel Tower in the west to the Musée d'Orsay in the east.
It's a large, open quarter of esplanades and long avenues, so good shoes help — but the payoff is that the Louvre, the Tuileries, the Champs-Élysées and Saint-Germain are all within a walk or one short hop.
Since 2025 the system has been simplified: paper tickets are gone, replaced by the contactless Navigo Easy card or your phone. A single Métro/RER ticket is now a flat fare, and a day pass quickly pays for itself if you ride often.
For door-to-door directions, the Bonjour RATP and Citymapper apps are the most reliable companions.
Spread along the Left Bank, the 75007 is served by several metro lines and the riverside RER C. Here are the essentials.
A few practical essentials to make your visit to the 7th arrondissement smooth and stress-free.
Spring and autumn bring the best light on the tower and the dome. Go early to the Eiffel Tower and Orsay to beat the crowds, and stay for the tower's hourly sparkle after dark.
Pre-book timed tickets for the Eiffel Tower and the Musée d'Orsay — both sell out. The Invalides and Rodin rarely need advance booking, but a combined Army+Rodin ticket saves money.
Cards are accepted almost everywhere. Service is included by law; rounding up for great service is appreciated, never expected.
Pick up a picnic on Rue Cler and eat it on the Champ-de-Mars, or book a bistro on Rue Saint-Dominique. Avoid the tourist traps right at the tower's foot.
The Musée d'Orsay and Rodin close on Mondays; the Eiffel Tower opens daily from 09:30. Lunch is 12–2:30 pm, dinner from 7:30 pm.
Tap water is safe and free in restaurants (une carafe d'eau). Emergency number is 112. Beware of petty scams and pickpockets around the Eiffel Tower.
