Rue Saint-Dominique
Once a track linking the abbey of Saint-Germain to the Gros-Caillou fields, rue Saint-Dominique crosses the 7th arrondissement from east to west and sums up its contrasts: 18th-century mansions and government ministries on one side, food shops and neighbourhood cafés on the other.
Halfway along, the Fontaine de Mars and the church of Saint-Pierre-du-Gros-Caillou mark the village heart of the area, while the Eiffel Tower appears at the end of several views. Tip: walk it east to west in late morning, when the shops are open, then turn off towards rue Cler.
