The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Montparnasse, Ile-de-France
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.

Montparnasse is the area we always try to stay when we visit Paris. It is away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist hot spots and this is exact what we like. We always stay at the Marriott Rive Gauche. The Montparnasse Cemetery is a tranquil spot to reflect, there is a street market right next to it on Saturdays... The energy of Montparnasse at night is just second to none: a real Mecca of cafes, bars, night clubs, restaurants, ice cream shops for all budgets and tastes, Galerie Lafayette is a great place for shopaholics, and visit the Tour Montparnasse of course for the sweeping views of the City of Lights.

5. The Paris Catacombs
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 7,965 reviews
A genuine labyrinth in the heart of underground Paris, the Catacombs were fitted out in the galleries of former quarries. Twenty metres underground, the ossuary houses the remains of approximately six million Parisians, gradually transferred between the end of the 18th century and the mid 19th century, as the capital's cemeteries were closed for health reasons. Along a tangle of dark galleries, visitors discover a presentation of death with bones arranged in a romantic macabre decor. This unique site is a moving testimony to the history of Parisians and invites visitors on a timeless journey.

Few queue because you have to book your visit online on this covid period. Very interesting and enriching because it is the history of Paris underground. Millions of skeleton fragments that are Parisians of the last centuries. Touching, a little morbid but not stressful. Visit to combine with a delicacy (handmade) with a real English Tea room really near : High Societhé (100 av denfert rochereau). So happy to sit and enjoy life again after such an amazing visit !

I do have a thing for graveyards, tombs and cemeteries. It's a slice of history taking time to read and also looking at the elaborate resting places. From the ordinary to the famous to the hero this cemetery has them all and for me, well worth the visit.
