Paris pictures. Paris needs no introduction, being probably the most well-known city on Earth (and thus a symbol of Europe). Paris is also one of the most beautiful cities of the world, home to many architectural icons: the 320m high Eiffel Tower, Napoleon's huge Triumphal Arch, the Notre Dame church, the Louvre Palace, the Sacré Coeur cathedral, the typical French houses lining the city's avenues, and in general, the 'Parisian atmosphere'.
