🎡 Experiences and Activities

We share with you 43 places to visit distributed in the following categories:

The City of Light. Romantic, cultured and vibrant. With friends, with family, as a couple: the symbol of the French essence has plans for every type of trip.

15 Museums, Galleries and Palaces

In this category you have to choose wisely. The Louvre alone would take you about 100 days to see the entire collection of the world's largest museum, and then you'd still have to see the other 130 museums and galleries!

Paris' sophisticated museums are part of its reputation as a great city of world culture. In addition, complexes such as the Palace of Versailles and Les Invalides attract visitors looking to learn more about the history of the French Revolution. After visiting both you can decide who had the bigger ego, Louis XIV or Napoleon?

9 Monuments and Landmarks

Each of Paris' twenty arrondissements brings a particular ingredient to the city. The sites on this list have become world icons and have contributed to making France the most visited country in the world for more than thirty years.

Thanks to Baron Haussmann's reforms in the mid-19th century, the Parisian monuments "dialogue" with each other through the wide avenues that connect them. Although each one tells a particular story, they are all linked by the political changes that France has undergone over the last two centuries: from an absolute monarchy to the current Fifth Republic.

7 Churches and Temples

The churches of Paris tell the story of France's complex relationship with Catholicism throughout its history.  We recommend you take a detour to visit them, because you will find one in every part of the city and they are very different from each other.

The star is Our Lady of Paris, better known as Notre Dame, the most visited site in the French capital year after year, even after its terrible fire in 2019 - such is the importance of this building that kilometre zero for all French distances is located here!

8 Squares and Parks

According to the latest official listings, Paris has almost 500 green spaces scattered throughout the city where you can relax between stops during your trip. In the Gardens of Versailles, for example, you can spend a whole day - they even offer little trains to take you from one end of the city to the other!

Our list contains the best examples, preferred by Parisians as they combine relaxation with leisure activities: because of their location and shape, these green spaces are ideal for outdoor activities or shopping.

4 Experiences and Activities

If you have some extra time left over after your tours, or if you prefer to get to know Paris in a more "hands-on" way, we recommend several activities. You can go up for a river trip on the Seine or explore the catacombs of Paris, it's up to you!
