Things to do in Paris, Ile-de-France: The Best Sights & 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.

The 7th Arrondissement is one of the most interesting and beautiful areas of Paris. We walked quite a lot through this area, mostly visiting various sights. And there is a multitude of amazing sights to visit, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Musee d'Orsay, the Hotel des Invalides, the Musee de l' Armee and Napoleon's Tomb, Musee Rodin and many others. One of the nicest things one can do is also a stroll down the banks of the River Seine, or a cruise if you prefer. Not to be missed.

If you have any interest in medieval churches and find their interior and architecture to contain a special beauty, you want to stop here...especially during mass. While Notre Dame is tough to beat, Basilique Sainte-Clotilde more than holds its own. As a bonus, even on the Saturday evening mass when we stumbled in, the church was mostly empty. It was easy to relax and take in the Gothic interior. The best part of the experience was the one-woman choir who, accompanied by the organ, displayed the voice of an angel. The BS-C is near Les Invalides. If you are in the area, you should stop by.

Quai d'Orsay is on Seine's left bank around the famous same name museum. The quai passes Esplanade des Invalides and other prominent sights and is pretty much noisy. Therefore I'd suggest descending down to the river level for a quieter and more enjoyable walk. Across the river you can spot the Grand and Petit Palais just after the Alexander III bridge.

The Dôme des Invalides, is a large church with the tombs of some of France's war heroes, most notably Napoleon Bonaparte and his brothers. There is also a hospital and a retirement home for war veterans on the same grounds as it is all under the area known as Les Invalides. I was here in 1972 but it has really changed and expanded into an amazing place especially with the Army Museum on the same grounds. If you just visit the church you’ll want to plan an hour but to visit everything on these grounds it is a 3 hour minimum. Highly recommend!
