The Musée Jacquemart-André can be found at 158 Boulevard Haussmann, situated in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. This museum originated from the personal residence of Édouard André (1833-1894) and Nélie Jacquemart (1841-1912), who amassed a significant art collection throughout their lifetimes and established the museum to exhibit their treasures.

The Conciergerie, also known as the Lodge, is a former courthouse and prison situated in Paris, France. Positioned on the western side of the Île de la Cité, below the Palais de Justice, it was originally a part of the Palais de la Cité, the former royal palace that also featured the Sainte-Chapelle. Today, two sizable medieval halls remain from the original palace. During the French Revolution, the Conciergerie incarcerated and tried 2,780 prisoners, including Marie-Antoinette, before dispatching them to various sites for execution by the guillotine. The building is presently a national monument and museum.

The Louis Vuitton Foundation, previously known as the Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation, is a French art museum and cultural center that is sponsored by LVMH and its subsidiaries. It operates as a separate nonprofit entity as part of LVMH's efforts to promote art and culture. The museum, designed by Frank Gehry, opened in 2014 and is situated next to the Jardin d'Acclimatation in the Bois de Boulogne of the 16th arrondissement of Paris. Over 1.4 million visitors came to the museum in 2017.
Originally estimated to cost €100 million, it was revealed in 2017 that the actual cost of the museum was almost eight times that amount. A 2018 report from the Court of Audit showed that the construction of the building was the main activity of the Foundation between 2007 and 2014. In November 2018, a French anti-corruption group called FRICC filed a complaint against the Louis Vuitton Foundation, alleging fraud and tax evasion in the construction of the museum. FRICC claimed that the nonprofit branch of LVMH was able to deduct around 60% of the museum's construction cost from its taxes and request tax refunds on other costs, resulting in LVMH and the Foundation receiving almost €603 million from the government towards the construction cost of €790 million. However, the case was dismissed in September 2019.

Located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, Les Invalides is home to the Musée de l'Armée, a national military museum of France. It can be easily accessed through the Paris Métro stations Invalides, Varenne, and La Tour-Maubourg.

The oldest designed square in Paris, France is Place des Vosges, formerly known as Place Royale. Situated in the Marais district, it spans across the boundary between the 3rd and 4th arrondissements of Paris. During the 17th and 18th centuries, it was a lavish and costly place to reside, contributing significantly to the stylish reputation of Le Marais among the Parisian nobility.

The Palais Bourbon is the meeting place of the French National Assembly, located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris on the left bank of the Seine River, across from the Place de la Concorde. It was originally built for Louise Françoise de Bourbon, the daughter of Louis XIV and the Marquise de Montespan, beginning in 1722. The palace was completed in 1728 by four different architects: Lorenzo Giardini, Pierre Cailleteau, Jean Aubert, and Jacques Gabriel. During the French Revolution, the palace was nationalized and later became the meeting place of the Council of Five Hundred from 1795 to 1799. In 1806, during Napoleon's reign, a Neoclassical facade designed by Bernard Poyet was added to the palace to mirror the nearby Church of the Madeleine.
Today, the palace complex has a floor area of 124,000 square meters (1,330,000 square feet) and over 9,500 rooms, accommodating the 3,000 people who work there. The complex also includes the Hôtel de Lassay, the official residence of the President of the National Assembly, located on the west side of the Palais Bourbon.

The tomb of Napoleon, located at Les Invalides in Paris, was built to house his mortal remains after they were brought back to France from Saint Helena in 1840, known as "retour des cendres". The initiative was led by Louis Philippe I and his minister Adolphe Thiers. Although the planning for the tomb began in 1840, it was not finished until two decades later. The tomb was ultimately inaugurated by Napoleon III on 2 April 1861, following the deaths of its promoter Louis Philippe I, architect Louis Visconti, and main sculptors James Pradier and Pierre-Charles Simart.

Located on Avenue Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France, the Palais de la Découverte is a science museum housed within the Grand Palais. Operating daily, except on Mondays, an admission fee is required to enter the museum.
Jean Baptiste Perrin, the Nobel Prize winner in Physics in 1926, established the museum in 1937 as part of an international exhibition on "Arts and techniques in modern life". Following the exhibition's conclusion, the French government repurposed the museum into a permanent institution, occupying 25,000 square metres within the west wing of the Grand Palais, which was originally built for the Exposition Universelle in 1900 to the designs of architect Albert-Félix-Théophile Thomas.
In 2010, the museum merged with the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie to form a new institution named universcience with two locations.
Today, the Palais de la Découverte offers visitors permanent exhibits covering mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, geology, and biology, showcasing interactive experiments accompanied by expert commentary. Additionally, it boasts a Zeiss planetarium featuring a 15-metre dome.

The initiative to build the cathedral came from an Armenian newspaper in Constantinople in 1902, and the land was acquired by Alexandre Mantashyants, a Baku-based oil magnate, for 450,000 French francs.
In 2018, the cathedral held a requiem in honor of Charles Aznavour on 6 October.
