Felt the travel pangs? Before you plan a trip to Paris, check out these amazing architectural places that would be a waste to miss out:
1. Palace of Versailles
This place is a treat to eyes with 17th-century Baroque architecture. Stucco arabesques, gilding, and painted vaults cover almost every area. The geometric proportions exude a sense of optical illusion. Expansive courtyards, gardens, sculptural fountains, and marble designs will transport you to the royal era.
2. Notre Dame Cathedral
Crafted in a French Gothic architectural style, the Notre Dame Cathedral consists of two high-rise towers, clerestory windows, and ancient Gothic carvings on the doorways. There are three elongated rose windows, which are made completely out of glass.

3. Palais-Royal
Another must-visit architectural splendour when in Paris is the Paris-Royal. The southern part of the complex is filled with polka-dotted designs alongside ace sculptor Daniel Buren's iconic striped columns. The vast garden, adorned with statues has become the primary focal point.
4. Le Grand Louvre
This place features underground galleries, preservation laboratories, and a culturally rich museum. But the special highlight is the large glass and steel pyramid, encircled by smaller triangles, which enables the light to pass through uniquely.
5. Les Choux de Créteil
It consists of ten cylindrical-shaped buildings rising to a height of about 15 stories. The living areas of the apartments are situated adjacent to the windows. The 2-metre-tall balconies offer outdoorsy views and privacy when needed.
