7th arrondissement of Paris

The 7th arrondissement extends along the Seine River, containing four distinct neighborhoods and numerous government buildings with classic architecture.

French nobility relocated from the Marais to this area in the 17th century, establishing residences that later became national institutions after the French Revolution.

The district houses multiple museums including Musée d'Orsay, Musée Rodin, and Musée du Quai Branly, presenting collections of French and international art.

The area connects to the rest of Paris through metro stations Invalides, École Militaire, and La Tour-Maubourg, offering direct access to major landmarks.

The district contains both the Eiffel Tower and Napoleon's burial site at Les Invalides, making it central to French national identity and tourism.
