You may visit the castle for free each first Sunday of the month, starting at 10 am. Look at the superb chapel, inside the huge premises of the castle...
Excellent place to have a beer or a meal. Welcoming staff and quiet view on the gardens (virtually no car).
Do visit the beautiful art galleries around the Place with stunning artists and original master pieces. Also pop in a beautiful artisanal perfumery...
Beautiful height and floors next to the 'Grands Boulevards', with the incredible feeling of turning back one century. Do pop in 'Pain d'épices'
One of my favorite places to meet friends or have a coffee. Delicious 19th century architecture and 30 interesting shops,cafés and restaurants protected in all seasons, including in case of heavy rain
2013 is also the 850th anniversary of Notre-Dame, with lots of events organised in front or inside the cathedral, like many concerts.
Musée d'Orsay (a former train station with superb roof) welcomes the impressionist and post-impressionist painters, like Monet, Manet, Degas and his beautiful dancers. Beautiful collections,
Nowadays, 'Bastille' is one of the most active nightlife places in Paris, with lots of bars, restaurants and night clubs, as well as an incredible offer of original furniture made by French artisans
The Hotel de Ville was rebuilt 3 times after burning at different times. Do come inside with one of the special exhibits.
About 300 meters from Notre Dame cathedral and fabulous old 12th century churches : Saint-Severin and Saint-Julien-le-pauvre (many concerts to be found, especially on week-ends)
Do also enjoy the 'Café de l'Homme' in the 'Musée de l'Homme' with beautiful views on the Eiffel Tower.
