Visit historical places in France and learn more about the Age of Enlightenment, French Revolution, and Napoleonic Wars. You can see the names of French victors and generals inscribed on the inner and outer surfaces of Arc de Triomphe, one of Paris' most famous monuments. Marvel at the opulence and grandeur of French monarchy at Palace of Versailles, or roam through the private quarters of Avignon Popes at Palais des Papes. At American Cemetery & Memorial, you can pay your respects to American soldiers who died in Europe during World War II. Fondation Claude Monet offers a close look at the pond that had inspired perhaps the greatest among Impressionist painters to create his well-known Water Lilies series.
