As Audrey Hepburn once mused, a visit to Paris is always a good idea. The City of Lights certainly has a lot to offer nearly any type of tourist, from families and couples to independent travelers on a self-guided jaunt. Things to do in Paris, France, range from taste testing every baguette sandwich along the Champs -Élysées to eating up the artistic experience offered by the Musée d’Orsay. When you’re not sure where to start when it comes to tackling this French metropolis, Paris tours are a good place to start. Embarking on a single tour will serve up a stop at many local landmarks and Parisian points of interest.
Areas & Neighborhoods
Paris neighborhood offerings vary from the outdoor to the artistic, and everything in between. Whether you are in France on a romantic getaway, family trip, or in the company of friends, there is a neighborhood brimming with things for you to see and do.
Montmartre — While this hilltop community was once a small, quiet village, it’s now a tourist hub. Along the cobblestone streets you will find historical sites like windmills and the Sacre Coeur basilica. You can also take advantage of the many shops and eateries.
Right Bank (La Rive Droite) — Head to this part of Paris, along the north side of the Seine River, if you are in the market for a chic experience. Famous shopping strips, The Louvre museum, and other high-society venues are found here.
Left Bank (La Rive Gauche) — The southern side of the Seine River is known as the Left Bank, and exhibits a far more bohemian vibe than the Right Bank. Also considered the Latin Quarter, this part of the city is home to The Sorbonne University and preserved Roman ruins.
Things to See in Paris
Before you set out to experience the more active side of the city, considering exploring the spectacular things to see in Paris, many of which present awesome photo opportunities. The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and Arc de Triomphe are just a few of the top spots in Paris to capture photos worthy of your holiday cards or a spot on the mantle. Paris art and culture activities are also very much alive. If you want to be entertained, snag tickets to a cabaret show or French theater production at venues like Moulin Rouge.
Things to Do & Attractions in Paris
Paris is known as fashion-forward city, but visitors should still pack a pair of walking shoes to truly experience the best activities and attractions in Paris. Spend your morning perusing the Bastille Market and shopping at fine boutiques along the Champs-Élysées. In the afternoon, venture down into The Catacombs, which contain millions of human remains and a bit of a spooky atmosphere. If you want to burn a few calories in the spirit of working off your morning croissant, try a bike tour. In the evening, sign up for an escape game, where you and your friends must use your wits to find your way out of a locked room. Day trips from Paris can land you in places like the Palace of Versailles in just a few hours.
