The Louvre Museum is the most visited art museum in the world, and it is a historic monument as well. It is the largest museum in France and it exhibits collections of western art from the Middle Ages to the 1850s. 

The Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris is a Roman Catholic cathedral and one of the best examples of French Architecture. On the same location where today stands the cathedral, there was a Roman temple dedicated to Jupiter. Prior to the cathedral and after the temple, on the same location, there was located a Christian Basilica and a Romanesque church.
