The 10 Best Things to do in L'Europe, Ile-de-France

March 27, 2022 Diedre Savory

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 is a very nice museum with a wonderful collection of mainly paintings and sculptures. It is a very good option for Mondays as it is open then. Try to buy tickets online so that you skip the entrance queue.

Parc Monceau

This beautiful park, which has inspired many famous paintings, was created in the 18th century for Philippe Egalité, the cousin of Louis XVI and the father of King Louis-Philippe I.

Oasis from the city —- large mature trees, « folly »-filled gardens, water ... roundabout, extensive playground and pony rides for young kids. In summer it is less crowded before 1 pm. On a Sunday look out for the joggers ... the park is a 1km oval circuit and gets a little busy on Sunday mornings!

Musee Nissim de Camondo

Reviewed By CharlieV2011 - Chicago, United States

I enjoyed my visit to this mansion. One thing that stood out is the sad history of the family so be sure to read about it here. The artifacts on display were collected by the owner of the house, which was built in the early 20th century. The artifacts are mainly 1800’s, but some are older. Going through the museum, you will see paintings, furniture, a library, 2 interesting bathrooms, a huge interesting kitchen, and beautiful architecture. An audio guide is provided that provides interesting facts on what you are looking at. I enjoyed looking at the artifacts and learning about life during this time period.

Gare St. Lazare

This train station served as the inspiration for a series of paintings by Monet.

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia

Gare St. Lazare is a huge station. We came here several times and felt quite comfortable finding our way around. Its history goes back a long way, to around the early part of the 19th century. It's a beautiful station architecturally and there are many shops inside so you are sure to find something to buy.

Musee Cernuschi

Reviewed By 632StephenP632 - Boerne, United States

What a remarkable collection of Chinese and Japanese art works from major Dynasties over the years! Moreover, it was breathtaking to see the very large Buddha, which took up a very large percentage of the first floor! Some have suggested that M. Cernuschi built his lovely residence to accommodate Buddha, rather than the other way around. A visit to this museum is a must.
