#1 L’Atelier des Lumières
An immersive exhibition of art of two different famous artists. The art is projected against the walls with loud music.
#2 Observation deck of Galerie Lafayette
On deck 8 of Galerie Lafayette is a free observation deck. Unlike the observation deck on the Eiffel Tower, you actually get to see the popular landmark in the Skyline
#3 Sacre Coeur view
Climbing up all those stairs (or just taking the ropeway included in your metro ticket) will be rewarded with a beautiful view over the city.
#4 Stroll alongside the Seine
Take a stroll along the Seine just when the sun is about to set. Local French enjoy their evening sitting, dancing, drinking and eating there.
#5 Do a river cruise tour
More a touristy thing but I quite enjoyed it. Do a boat tour to see sights out of a different perspective and get interesting information about it on top of it.
#6 Disneyland Paris
Easy to get there with the RER A (red line) in about 40 minutes is Disneyland Paris. During the pandemic you need to buy a ticket in advance and book the date you are planning to go. Also you need to be vaccinated, recovered or tested within 72 hours.
#7 Versailles
Just as easy to get here with the RER C (yellow line) and about 40 minutes in the opposite direction than Disneyland Paris. If you have the time and you are interested, go and visit Versailles. If you’re a European citizen the entry to the palace (not the garden) is free as long as you’re under 26. If you’re not a European citizen it’s free when you’re under 18.
#8 Quartier des Halles
My favorite part of Paris is Châtelet – Les Halles. Not only does it offer great shops and restaurants but is also right in the heart of Paris, located near Louvre and Notre Dame.
#9 Catacombs
If you like spooky, historical sights, the catacombs might be for you. You shouldn’t have Asthma nor be claustrophobic since the catacombs are 65 feet deep and it takes 131 steps down and 112 steps back up. It’s cold down there so be sure you pack proper clothes.
#10 Check for movie premiers
Paris is a world metropolis. It is not unusual you run into a film set or a movie premiere. Usually, movie premieres are at the Grand Rex Theater. We ran into the set of Brazilian Netflix series and the movie premier of Dune. Just keep an eye open.
