Visit Rue Cler! We did the Rick Steves Walking Tour of the street and thought it was very fun - a good way to pick up picnic supplies to take and eat in a park!
Get a bottle of wine and watch the sunset at Sacré-Coeur.
Take a day trip to Epernay - it’s the birthplace of champagne, and a very special place for us 🥰.
SO many great museums, including…
Louis Vuitton Fondation is situated in the Bois de Boulogne, a stone's throw from the Jardin d'Acclimatation. The Foundation's exceptional contemporary art collections (permanent and temporary) are exhibited in a building designed by Frank Gehry. Fun fact: this is where we saw Hillary Clinton on a tour in 2022!
Musée de l’Orangerie has 8 of Monet’s water lilies murals.
Catacombs for something spooky.
