Things to do in Paris, Ile-de-France: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
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.

We attended a mass here and it was really sacred. It was very calm giving the chance to properly pray and the attendees were really nice.

This old bar was a favorite hangout of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway in the 1920s.
Reviewed By JennLala - New York City, United States
This was an adorable bar and is well worth stopping in for a visit. Not only do they make amazing cocktails, it was neat to drink here for historic reasons. It is the oldest cocktail bar in Paris and known to be the spot where several classic drinks such as The Bloody Mary and Sidecar were invented. Hemingway and Chanel drank here and Gershwin composed "American In Paris" in the piano corner downstairs. Though the drinks are on the pricey side, they are worth it. As the evening progressed the lights were dimmed and a piano player came in to entertain for the evening. It was romantic and lovely and we ended up having a second round. Over all this was a fabulous place to enjoy history and meticulously made delicious cocktails.

This Louis the XIVth Royal Place is very elegant for it"s architecture and fashion shops. Half way between les Halles / Montorgueil area and the Opéra Garnier, you will stroll next to Galerie Vivienne, Jardins du Palais Royal, passing through the authentic Japanese restaurants in Paris. On your right going towards the Bourse, find Bistrot Chez Georges, on you left head to the Louvre. On avenue de L'Opéra indulge on some Pierre Hermé sweet delicacies. Not far from Place Vendôme, Jewelers, fashion, Chocolate shops.... This Place des Victoires is very well located. Can tell you more about its History on PM if you are interested

Bring your love of jewelry - and a loaded wallet - to this busy street, where you can find some of the city's best gold, silver and gems.

Luxury stores and luxury hotels all in one vicinity is a very understandable tandem. The rich and famous paradise for items that caught their fancy. We only had our window-shopping to see how it is in this part of Paris specially in this kind of merchandise. Strolling along a quieter street from Place de l'Opera to the Place Vendome until somewhere we can find another Metro.

We were around this district every day on our recent visit. Absolutely love this neighborhood, a mix of hip Millenials, newly arrived immigrants, and lots of shoppers. Full of cafes and restaurants of all types, but many are affordable. The arch itself is magnificent.

It was the 3rd time that we visited Hotel Square Louvois. The 4-star hotel has a good price/quality relationship. The rooms are modern and clean; the breakfast is OK with fresh fruit and cappuccino. The hotel is located in the 2nd quarter, which is near the Louvre, l’Opera, Bourse, Rue Saint Honoree, Madeleine, etc. The personnel is nice and still remembered us from our first stay. They also gave us a good tip to have dinner with restaurant Macéo, a nice restaurant close to the hotel
