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

Walking the colorful streets of Marais neighborhood, sooner or later, you're about to run into this terrific sq, very close to Bastille sq. It's considered to be the oldest planned sq in Paris, rectangular in shape with extraordinary same shape houses around.

This place is temporarily closed. The former home of the 19th-century author Victor Hugo is now a museum with exhibits on his life.

My husband has read all of the novels by Victor Hugo ( in translation I need to add) so it was a nice experience for him to see the house where he wrote many of his books and plays. Victor Hugo lived in this house at Place des Vosges before his exile in Guernsey and on his return to Paris he lived elsewhere. The rooms of various houses have been recreated here with the original furnishings including the tall desk where he wrote standing up. Entrance is free but we paid €5 for one audio guide for my husband as he was particularly interested but , for me, there was enough information in each room. Unlike most museums we visited information was displayed in French and English.
