10 Sights & Landmarks in Monnaie That You Shouldn't Miss
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

This famous Left Bank neighborhood, so named because the numerous university students in the area spoke only Latin to their professors until the French Revolution, preserves an authentic Parisian atmosphere of old.

I was with my daughter and daughter-in-law while they shopped at the shops along Boulevard Saint Germain when we stumbled upon this small cobblestone passageway. (I actually think one of them was looking for a particular shop that was located here.) The passageway contains some unique shops and restaurants and is very peaceful and relaxing, especially compared to the hectic pace and traffic of the nearby boulevard. While standing in a shop that sold spices, pastries and ice cream, I suddenly realized that I had actually been there before. Memories flooded back of a previous trip to Paris years ago with me standing around in nearly the exact spot as my loving wife bought spices to take back home. Oh, sweet memories!

For over 11 centuries, the Monnaie de Paris, France’s longest standing institution, has focused on striking coins as well as the production of metal artistic craftsmanship. Today, the French Mint strikes currency coins for more than 40 countries in the world and produces diverse metal art objects in its parisian factory. The emblematic building located at number 11 of the quai de Conti opens its doors to the public since 2017. First and last active factory in the heart of the capital city, the Monnaie de Paris reveals the secrets of metal, its artisans’ techniques and know-how and exclusive treasures.

While not terribly interested in the history of coins, or in coin collecting, I thus found the museum itself dull. On the other hand, I have visited a good number of temporary art exhibitions, which all have been excellent: Kiki Smith, Grayson Perry, Subodh Gupta ... It seems that the curator tends to choose artists who are famous international artists, but who are less known in France. Visits to these exhibitions are enlightening!

A huge bronze statue of St Michael battling the devil in form of dragon is really very nice sculpture. 2 dragons on 2 columns serve as fountains. Sit right next to it to be refreshed!

Created in the mid 80’s this is quite an impressive sculpture (mythical creature, body of horse, head of man) standing at 5 meters high, if you look closely at the breastplate you will see a miniature statue of Liberty.
