Things to do in Paris, Ile-de-France: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

December 23, 2021 Matilde Konrad

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.

Square Rene Viviani

Reviewed By JnVSydney - Greater Sydney, Australia

We visited here a few times during our stay in paris, the first was for the chrissie markets which was bustling, after that, the gardens were a lovely place to have a picnic on a sunny day, just a stones throw from the Seine and the Latin Quarter. The Fontaine de Georges Jeanclos (see review) is the centre piece of the gardens.

Statue de Mihai Eminescu

Reviewed By JnVSydney - Greater Sydney, Australia

Located in the latin quarter stands this very modern looking bronze with famous Romanian Poet, in a lyrical pose, looking to the skies, his cloths look ragged and his feet are bare, the long branches either side of him reflect his connection to nature, through his work. All in all a very eye catching sculpture.

Fresque Pierre Brossolette

Reviewed By neilwD9422JL - Paris, France

Having read several different authors on the subject of the French Resistance during WWll, I am a huge admirer of Pierre Brossolette. As it happens, I walk past his portrait on the side of the yellow mailbox once per week. As street art, it is beautifully done. It is in front of the Mairie of the 5ème arrondissement, just opposite the Pantheon.
