Things to do in Paris, Ile-de-France: The Best Sights & Landmarks

November 11, 2021 Milan Banda

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.

Eglise Saint-Gervais Saint-Protais

This 16th-century Gothic church, named for two men killed by the Roman emperor Nero, stands on the site of the original seventh-century church.

Sunday mass was a real delight here. The organ is beautiful. The congregation is very warm and welcoming. Be aware however that you’ll be sitting on a small stool and not in benches.

Le Marais

Located on a land-filled swamp, this revitalized neighborhood, once a center of high culture, fell into disrepair following the French Revolution, but has regained prominence.

Alive with restaurants, bars, shops of every variety. Home to the Picasso Museum (fantastic), the very interesting Carnavalet Museum (museum of the City of Paris), and lovely cafes, bakeries, creperies, and the best falafel shops in Europe!

4th Arrondissement

The 4th arrondissement contains the Renaissance-era Paris City Hall. It also contains the Renaissance square of Place des Vosges, the overtly modern Pompidou Centre and the lively southern part of the medieval district of Le Marais, which today is known for being the gay district of Paris (while the more quiet northern part of Le Marais is contained inside the 3rd arrondissement). The eastern parts of the Île de la Cité (including Notre-Dame de Paris) as well as the Île Saint-Louis are also included within the 4th arrondissement.

We just loved staying here and lodging here. It was so great and exciting and fun and meaningful and pleasant. So much interesting stuff, and so much history. It is so worthwhile to visit here and to do lodging here. We will definitely return here for visiting and lodging on our soon-to-be next trip. This arrondissement is notable for the following stuff: the Renaissance-era Paris City Hall (which we absolutely loved and admired from the outside), the Renaissance square of Place des Vosges (which we explored and reveled in the amazing French history on which we were nurtured and grew up studying), the overtly modern Pompidou Centre (whose structure and architecture we enjoyed more than its inside), the lively southern part of the medieval district of Le Marais (which we loved as our place of lodging and home to traditional Jewish places of worship, study and- most importantly- food), and the eastern parts of the Île de la Cité (including Notre-Dame de Paris) as well as the Île Saint-Louis- the two islands that we visited numerous times and loved.

La Rue des Rosiers

Reviewed By Ivisitedtheplace - Israel, null

We chose our lodging near this street- in order to be close to it because of the access to Jewish and kosher stores and restaurants. It is now a tourist attraction of sorts, and is a closed-to-traffic walking pedestrian mall. The street is narrow anyway. We enjoyed wandering along the street, looking at all the stores- the apparel shops, the Jewish stores, the kosher restaurants and the ones that claim to be kosher (be careful- if that makes a difference to you). We look forward to returning to this place. I know what I'm writing about because.... I visited this place
