What to do and see in Louvre / Palais-Royal, Ile-de-France: The Best Historic Sites

February 10, 2022 Christa Meece

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.

Domaine National du Palais-Royal

This royal palace, first home to Cardinal Richelieu and later a childhood home of Louis XIV, is longer open to the public, although its exquisite gardens can still be enjoyed.

Once a royal palace now the amazing spot to enjoy some relaxing time, since it's much less crowded than places nearby.

Amazing art filled baroque interior. So worth a visit. Right on Rue St Honore and surprisingly spacious.

Statue Equestre de Louis XIV

Reviewed By JnVSydney - Greater Sydney, Australia

This is a very unusual equestrian statue that truly piqued out interest - so we found out a bit more about it. Rather than just ‘bloke on horse’ this is a flame filled, flowing and elaborate representation of Louis XIV as the mythological Roman warrior and hero called Marcus Curtius. We are fans of Bernini - but just didn’t expect to see one of his works as we pottered about Paris.

Robespierre's House

Reviewed By Viajesberna

There is nothing more than a simple plaque but if you love history like I do, it is super interesting to visit the place and street where one of the most important figures of French history lived there. It is not the same building but it is the same place.
