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 neo-classical building serves as a meeting place for the country's politicians, while its beautiful gardens are enjoyed by all.
Luxembourg Palace was built in the first half of the 17th century as a royal residence. It has had some really interesting and intriguing history. Today it is the place where the Senate, part of the French Parliament meets. It is quite a luxurious building, and you would expect nothing less!

For over 11 centuries, the Monnaie de Paris, France’s longest standing institution, has focused on striking coins as well as the production of metal artistic craftsmanship. Today, the French Mint strikes currency coins for more than 40 countries in the world and produces diverse metal art objects in its parisian factory. The emblematic building located at number 11 of the quai de Conti opens its doors to the public since 2017. First and last active factory in the heart of the capital city, the Monnaie de Paris reveals the secrets of metal, its artisans’ techniques and know-how and exclusive treasures.
While not terribly interested in the history of coins, or in coin collecting, I thus found the museum itself dull. On the other hand, I have visited a good number of temporary art exhibitions, which all have been excellent: Kiki Smith, Grayson Perry, Subodh Gupta ... It seems that the curator tends to choose artists who are famous international artists, but who are less known in France. Visits to these exhibitions are enlightening!
