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

June 4, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

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.

Eiffel Tower

Completed in 1889, this colossal landmark, although initially hated by many Parisians, is now a famous symbol of French civic pride.

Rue Cler

This lively cobblestone street effectively preserves the ambience of Paris of old and is home to countless small shops.

Reviewed By Z3458RZerick - Orlando, United States

Rue Cler is a predominantly local market street, with individual shops for each food item. One shop for cheese. One for meats. One for fruit and veggies. Once for baked goods. Etc. There are also little cafes with street seating to sit and watch the world go round. If you go, be respectful of the locals...this is where they shop. Do yourself a favor...get a little something at several shops, get a bottle of wine, and go find some shade under a tree, or on a bench, at the south end of the Champs de Mars, and have a quiet picnic, and just enjoy being in Paris.

Quai d'Orsay

Reviewed By B1714D - Belgrade, Serbia

Quai d'Orsay is on Seine's left bank around the famous same name museum. The quai passes Esplanade des Invalides and other prominent sights and is pretty much noisy. Therefore I'd suggest descending down to the river level for a quieter and more enjoyable walk. Across the river you can spot the Grand and Petit Palais just after the Alexander III bridge.

Rue St-Dominique

In the heart of the 7th district, (a short stroll form the Eiffel tower) le Moulin de le Vierge on St. Dominique provides for a quick gourmet pause in this chic and lively neighborhood... Nestled amongst the fashion boutiques, cafes and bistros of the area, the bakery caters to both the local gourmands and the visitors of this quaint area located between the Esplanade and the Champs de Mars. Inside beyond the counter is a small tea salon where one can enjoy tartines, millefeuilles, macarons and various other sweet or savory treats, accompanied by a coffee or traditional hot chocolate. The boutique on St. Dominique is open daily from 7:30 to 20:30, closed Wednesdays.

St. Dominque is just one of those great Paris Streets to explore. Great shops along with Restaurants. Adjacent to Rue Cler (another great street) it makes for a nice walk,
