Paris School Project Help: Fact Sheets and Question Sets You Can Print

This page does not offer separate downloadable worksheets or PDFs. What it offers instead is simpler: the fact pages themselves are readable and printable as they are, and the question sets below are ready to copy into a document or read straight off the screen.

How to print a fact page cleanly

Open any fact page on this site, such as Arc de Triomphe Facts for Kids, and use your browser’s own Print command (usually Ctrl+P on Windows, or Cmd+P on a Mac). The page has a print layout built in, so navigation, ads and other clutter drop out and you are left with the text, the Quick facts table and the Sources list. From the print dialog, you can either print on paper or save the page as a PDF for later.

How to cite this site in a school report

Each fact page names its author and its last-updated date in the byline, and gives a ready-made citation line in its “For teachers and parents” section. The format looks like this:

Ellery, Margot. “Arc de Triomphe Facts for Kids.” paristourist.info, updated September 18, 2026.

Swap in the title and date shown at the top of whichever page you used. If your teacher wants a primary source rather than this site, use the numbered Sources list at the bottom of the page instead. Each numbered source gives the original page’s title, its publisher, and the date it was checked, for example:

Centre des monuments nationaux. “Practical information.” Arc de Triomphe, paris-arc-de-triomphe.fr, accessed September 18, 2026.
