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.

Talk about an 'Aladdin's cave' of languages delights! I was recommended to visit Mundolingua by two language teacher friends and it was a fantastic way to while away 4/5 hours exploring this incredible collection of items. It was a quiet afternoon when I visited (I'd just missed a huge group of language teachers who'd left grinning from ear to ear) which allowed me hours and hours to explore upstairs. I spent so long enjoying quizzes, artefacts, games and reading materials that I need to return soon to explore downstairs in much more detail. Yes there are multiple floors and lots to see. Whilst there I was advised that if I wanted to bring along other teachers or students in the future that there would not be a cost at all which is great. There is so much to see and do here, my advice eat before you go in and make time from the mêlée of sightseeing to deepen your knowledge and experience the incredible collection housed here. Students would love it as would language geek teachers (like me!) I'm sure. The helpful folk that work here are passionate and fluent in a range of languages to support you. I am certain that if you contact them beforehand they will be extremely helpful too. Have a great visit, I definitely did!

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!

The former home of 19th-century painter Eugène Delacroix has been preserved and has a number of his works on display.
In the square from the final scene of The Age of Innocence with Daniel Day Lewis, the square where Delacroix's apartment and studio and gardens is situated hit you with charm and a wave of serenity as you come around the corner! His studio is most impressive and the gardens below a Garden of Eden for certain.
