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.

This bridge, depicted in a famous painting by Renoir, is the oldest remaining bridge in Paris.
Reviewed By Ivisitedtheplace - Israel, null
According to my understanding of French, it is both the New Bridge (as in unused) and the Nine Bridge. Either way, it is a nice structure to cross on foot (includes the western end of the Ile de la Cite) and also an impressive structure to pass under (which I did three or four times on the amazing Batobus. When one goes under this bridge, one can see and photograph (as I did), the massive letter N on the sides.

This street is known for its open-air market: a popular destination for Christmas time shopping.
Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia
We discovered Rue Montorgueil many years ago while staying at a nearby hotel, on a trip to Paris. We rediscovered it on our most recent trip. It is a street full of life. There are countless delis, cafes, restaurants, boutiques, bakeries, and other stores selling just about everything and anything one would wish to buy. We loved the variety of cheeses and the crusty bread each morning, and a bottle of red towards the evening! We must return!

One of Paris' most serene and romantic places, this square features harmonious architecture. Built during the Renaissance and somewhat altered, it's still gorgeous. Come and sit on a bench on a sunny day and let your heart sing.

A small park on the Île de la Cité.

It’s tiny speck of grass on the western tip of Ile de la Cité. There is a huge tree, under which one can sit comfortably and watch the city go about its business.

Just a funky painted doorway from the street but inside the many surprises extending up about 7 floors were astonishing! There was art in every nook and cranny; on the stairs, the walls, the floors and everywhere you looked. There were sayings painted on every step; some funny, some thought inspiring and always interesting. Looking up or down the the stairwell was an experience all in itself! And interspersed throughout were mini artists studios. So much fun!

Reviewed By Maira_Toledo - Sao Paulo, Brazil
Built in 1826 in neoclassical style, Galerie Véro-Dodat is listed as a French historical landmark. The diagonal grid of black and white tiles is just one of its charms.
9. Rue de Rivoli

Reviewed By JnVSydney - Greater Sydney, Australia
Stretching from Place de la Concorde to (changing its name to Rue Saint Antoine, on the way) Place de la Bastille, this is a very busy street, for traffic and pedestrians alike. There is so much to see, the demographic changes constantly along the way, it is hard for the walker to get bored. The Concorde, Louvre stretch would have to be our favourite.
10. La Porte des Lions
