Images of 7th Arrondissement
On the Left bank is situated the Eiffel Tower, Hotel Biron, Musée d’Orsay and Hotel national des Invalides
Paris ’s most famous symbol, the Eiffel Tower, (See web-site) dominates Paris and especially the 7th, a Left Bank district of respectable residences and government offices. Part of the St-Germain neighbourhood is included here as well. The tower is now one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world, despite the fact that many Parisians (most notably some of its nearest neighbours) hated it when it was unveiled in 1889.

Hotel des Invalides
Many of the most imposing monuments of Paris are in the 7th, including the Hotel des Invalides, which contains both Napoléon’s Tomb and the Musée de l’Armée. But there is much hidden charm here as well. Who has not often walked these narrow streets before you? Your predecessors include Picasso, Manet, Ingres, Baudelaire, Wagner, Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, even Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, and Tennessee Williams
Musée Rodin
Rue de Bac was home to the swashbuckling heroes of Dumas’s The Three Musketeers, and to James McNeill Whistler, who, after selling Whistler’s Mother, moved to 110 rue de Bac, where he entertained the likes of Degas, Henry James, Manet, and Toulouse-Lautrec. Auguste Rodin lived at what is now the Musée Rodin at 77 rue de Varenne until his death in 1917.
Musée d'Orsay
Even visitors with no time to explore the 7th at least rush its second major attraction (after the Eiffel Tower), the Musée d’Orsay, the world’s premier showcase of 19th century French art culture. The museum is housed in the old Gare d’Orsay, which Orson Welles used in 1962 as a setting for his film The Trial, based on the book by Franz Kafka.
