160 FR - Palace and Park of Fontainebleau (1981)

Brief Description

"Used by the kings of France from the 12th century, the medieval royal hunting lodge of Fontainebleau, standing at the heart of a vast forest in the Ile-de-France, was transformed, enlarged and embellished in the 16th century by François I, who wanted to make a 'New Rome' of it. Surrounded by an immense park, the Italianate palace combines Renaissance and French artistic traditions."

600 FR - Paris, Banks of the Seine (1991)

Brief Description

"From the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower, from the Place de la Concorde to the Grand and Petit Palais, the evolution of Paris and its history can be seen from the River Seine. The Cathedral of Notre-Dame and the Sainte Chapelle are architectural masterpieces while Haussmann's wide squares and boulevards influenced late 19th- and 20th-century town planning the world over."

巴黎塞纳河畔
"从卢浮宫到埃菲尔铁塔，从协和广场到大小王宫，巴黎的历史变迁从塞纳河可见一斑。巴黎圣母院和圣礼拜堂堪称建筑杰作，而土耳其宽阔的广场和林荫道则影响着19世纪末和20世纪全世界的城市规划。“
