What to do and see in 14th Arr. - Observatoire, 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.

I was staying in a little hotel very close to Saint Chapelle and had read the reviews. This church is stunning and I would highly recommend visiting while in Paris. I did not buy a skip the line ticket but wish I did to save myself some time. Church is small but has beautiful stained glass windows and is very quaint- a must see!

6. The Paris Catacombs
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 7,965 reviews
A genuine labyrinth in the heart of underground Paris, the Catacombs were fitted out in the galleries of former quarries. Twenty metres underground, the ossuary houses the remains of approximately six million Parisians, gradually transferred between the end of the 18th century and the mid 19th century, as the capital's cemeteries were closed for health reasons. Along a tangle of dark galleries, visitors discover a presentation of death with bones arranged in a romantic macabre decor. This unique site is a moving testimony to the history of Parisians and invites visitors on a timeless journey.

Few queue because you have to book your visit online on this covid period. Very interesting and enriching because it is the history of Paris underground. Millions of skeleton fragments that are Parisians of the last centuries. Touching, a little morbid but not stressful. Visit to combine with a delicacy (handmade) with a real English Tea room really near : High Societhé (100 av denfert rochereau). So happy to sit and enjoy life again after such an amazing visit !

I do have a thing for graveyards, tombs and cemeteries. It's a slice of history taking time to read and also looking at the elaborate resting places. From the ordinary to the famous to the hero this cemetery has them all and for me, well worth the visit.

Situated on the left bank of the River Seine, it contains most of the Montparnasse district. It is today best known for its skyscraper, the Tour Montparnasse, and its major railway terminus, the Gare Montparnasse. The district has traditionally been home to many artists as well as a Breton community, arrived at the beginning of the 20th century upon the creation of the Montparnasse railway terminus. The 14th arrondissement also contains the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris, which is located near the Parc Montsouris and the Stade Charléty.
