We don't share other reviewers' enthusiasm. A bit of a trek from Paris center. Apparently the basilica Cathedral has undergone successive renovations over the years and has lost luster over the past few hundred years. Renovated exterior interesting, interior left us cold.The necropole of the kings of France occupies part of the premises, and carries an entry fee: interesting mostly for the funerary art.
2. Musee d'Orsay
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 55 reviews
This beautiful museum, once a railroad station, now houses a staggering collection of Impressionist art, as well as other items created between 1848 and 1914. In 2011, the museum is running a renovation of the top floor (impressionist gallery). Only ground and medium floor are accessible. The top floor will re-open on the 20th of October. Meanwhile, some impressionist masterpieces are not visible.

Easier to navigate than the Louvre; dedicated to art from 1850s to 1940s; we took five hours plus a 90 minute refuel in La Restaurant.
First Sunday in April so access was free. We arrived at 0925 and queues until 1030 before we passed security and were actively viewing.
We headed up to the fifth floor to start with the floor dedicated to the impressionists. It’s overwhelming.... Monet, Manet, Renoir, Degas... Cezanne, Pissarro, Sisley... it’s like and endless visual bombardment.
The second floor has Art Deco furniture and indeed a whole room reconstructed from the period... oh and the sculptures...
I loved it. The audio guide was pretty good too.
La Restaurant had a starter and main offer at €22... Onion Soup with bread and Sea Bass fillets on couscous. Fine for the price and provided enough energy to tackle the last two floors.
Van Gogh, Picasso, Gaugan... really all this in a manageable, navigable museum. It’s a total wonder and the finest day I’ve spent looking at art.
3. Marche aux Puces de Saint-Ouen
Reviewed By Thunderberg - Malmo, Sweden
The biggest (and craziest) flea market in Paris, is the one in Clignancourt. It's fairly easy to get there: just a short walk from the Métro station (4). There are signs to follow, but you could just as easily just "go with the flow". The things you find there is everything from high art, to cheap crap. It's a lot of fun, so wear comfortable shoes, because you could easily spend hours walking about the premises. You might get hungry while doing just that, but not to worry: there are plenty of places to buy (mostly fast) food and drinks.

Grand looking building both inside and outside, excellent place for photo taking. Just one minor issue regards left behind your ID before you can rent the audio guide. Really? That's a bit strange. I would rather to be asked for higher rental fee for it.

Stade de France is a great stadium, easy to get to, a brilliant atmosphere, good views and everything you would want. Except short queues. And decent food. And decent beer. In fact, beer for the whole match would be nice! It took us ages to...MoreHello, thank you for your comment ! For security reasons, there are several searches. Good to know : many food trucks are available around the stadium with a wide variety of meals. We hope to see you again soon :)

It was built in the mid 13th century by Louis IX, at the heart of the royal residence, the Palais de la Cité. It was built to house the relics of the Passion of Christ. Adorned with a unique collection of fifteen glass panels and a large rose window forming a veritable wall of light,the Sainte-Chapelle is a gem of French Gothic architecture. Designated world heritage site by UNESCO.

Lines weren’t too bad here, maybe 20 minutes max, mainly to get through security but once inside not too crowded. Incredible stained glass windows, a few photos and move on.
7. Notre Dame Cathedral

4.5 based on 60 reviews
This famous Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture on which construction began in the 12th century, stands on the Île de la Cité and is the symbolic heart of the city.
Reviewed By jillianjh - Jonesboro, Arkansas
Notre-Dame Paris is an iconic part of the city for many reasons. I was amazed that they had conversation booths open inside the church. It is one of the best examples of gothic architecture in the world. If you visit it for this reasons, I also recommend that you take the train to Reims to see the Cathedral there. It is a major tourist attractions and it is free, so the lines are pretty long during the tourist season. I recommend going early in the morning if you visit in the summer months.

Highly highly recommend booking tickets a month or more in advance! If you buy tickets on site please know you’ll be waiting in line for longer than an hour or more. We booked our tickets a month or two in advance and walked right up. Spectacular view!

Home to Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, the Louvre is considered the world's greatest art museum, with an unparalleled collection of items covering the full spectrum of art through the ages.
Reviewed By c1lm2 - Princeton, New Jersey
The crowds were daunting, even with a "skip the line" tour. It was my son's first visit so we went to see the "most famous" artwork. For the repeat traveler, I recommend going to the less mobbed galleries (if there are any during Spring Break). Still, breathtaking and beautiful and worth braving the tumult.
