What to do and see in Saint-Merri, 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.

This beautiful, 19th century building is now the seat of the French government, and features a number of displays on French history.

I came out of the Hotel De Ville stop to get to Notre Dame Cathedral. It looked like the train station is connected to the building but it was all closed off when I was there so I ended up outside instead. I was on the back end of the building and was fascinated with the architecture. As I moved towards the front of the building towards the bridge to Note Dame, I noticed a statue on horseback on the side of the building. As I neared the bridge I noticed that there was a festival of some sort in the front area of the hotel. It looked like a winter festivalwith free rides for kids. It was New Year so it could also have been related to that. Apart from rides there were a few stalls for food and shops of items. There were also a few photo areas. The building looks quite amazing from afar and does look nice closer up when you are able to see some of the intricate details. I was able to get close to the building but not inside since it looked like it was closed. The colourful lighting around the area made it quite festive and interesting. It was an unexpected but really enjoyable find.

A great permanent collection makes this museum a must-see for modern art lovers. Add to that the bonus of three or four temporary exhibitions as well as great views of Paris and for me this place was unbeatable. I spent three hours here and it was nowhere near enough.

I was on a fun scooter tour when we rounded the corner and saw this fountain. The mural of Dalí, the modern sculptures with music and backdrop of an old church—so interesting to me. I returned a second time to sit in a cafe. Will surely return again.

Small cathedral near the Centre Pompidou. Take a short visit and enjoy the beautiful stained glass windows and impressive carved pulpit.
