Skylines and landmarks

Ten stations for a lesson in Parisian grandeur. You set off from Bir-Hakeim, beneath the elevated metro viaduct, before reaching Trocadéro and its esplanade, where the Eiffel Tower shows its best side. On to the Étoile and the Arc de Triomphe, at the summit of its twelve avenues, then along the Champs-Élysées to the Grand Palais, built for the 1900 World's Fair. The finale is at Concorde, facing the Luxor Obelisk. Bring a camera: every station exit is a postcard.
