The Eiffel Tower, Trocadero, the Invalides, Pont Alexandre III: a walk with extravagance as the theme. The Eiffel Tower district on either side of the Seine has many museums, green spaces and observation points from where you can take memorable photos. This walk is about culture, architecture and extravagance. Transformed in the course of the Universal Exhibitions held between 1867 and 1937, the banks of the Seine around the Eiffel Tower offer a combination of perspectives, palaces and gardens. The most iconic buildings in the district, which are these days devoted to history and culture, all offer a unique view of the Eiffel Tower, the monument to which all visitors flock.
