The city preserves structures from two millennia: Roman baths from the 3rd century, Gothic churches like Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre, Renaissance mansions, and Art Nouveau apartment buildings designed by Hector Guimard. Beyond the famous monuments, visitors find hidden lanes with medieval timber-framed houses and private villas from the 19th century. The collection includes both public and private buildings. Visitors can explore the remains of the Arènes de Lutèce, where Romans once held gladiatorial contests, as well as the oldest residential houses in the city dating from the 15th century. The selection ranges from medieval church towers and classical arcades to modernist experiments of the early 20th century.
Art Nouveau buildings from 1890 to 1910 display ornamental designs, curved lines, and natural motifs.

These structures across Europe combine craft traditions with industrial techniques.
The Ile-de-France region includes castles, museums and gardens outside Paris. These locations display regional history through medieval fortresses, art galleries, botanical gardens and manor houses. The structures represent architectural styles from the 12th to 20th century.
