Montmartre

Montmartre is one of the most beautiful places in Paris to wander. Although parts of it are touristy, exploring the area behind the Sacre Coeur allows you to take a step back in time with its winding streets, wild gardens and "folies" that birthed the 19th century Impressionist movement.

The Pont Neuf is the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine and therefore it's a Parisian symbol for locals. In the summertime locals usually go down the stairs and sit by La Seine whilst enjoying a good bottle of wine.

It’s not often you’ll find a place this big in the city! Its uniqueness also resides in its underground atmosphere, just like in Berlin or San Francisco. As you pass through the door, a long corridor leads you to two huge rooms where you can sit on recycled sofas and chairs with world music rocking the stereo. The entrance fee is up to you!

Le Marais is gourmet heaven. Locals line up all along the sidewalk of rue des Rosiers for falafel, and you can also pick up a mean pretzel. Look out for some amazing artisanal chocolate shops and specialty patisseries.

This gorgeous gothic masterpiece of stained glass, gargoyles and flying buttresses is one of the most famous buildings in Paris, and for good reason. Resting on the Ile de la Cite and surrounded by the Seine, it served as inspiration for celebrated writer Victor Hugo's famous work, The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

The Eiffel Tower was originally built as a temporary entrance arch to the 1889 World Fair, but was so unique that it quickly became an iconic symbol of France. Today you can climb the tower by foot as far as the second level, or take an elevator to any of its three viewing storeys for stunning views across the city.

With six million skeletons buried below the city, it’s a one-of-a-kind place. You’ll be fascinated by the way the bones have carefully and respectfully been put to rest. It can be rather intimidating knowing that all the greatness of Paris is above you.

This is a place of faith and sharing, full of strong emotions. The museum aims to clarify historical information relating to the Holocaust, while also teaching younger generations about the war. Mostly however, it’s a place to remember what happened and pay tribute to all of the victims.

Wandering these streets provides endless artistic inspiration, with secrets to discover at every turn. Look for the mosaic guide to water birds by the south bank of the island, find the 50s-style mechanics servicing vintage cars, visit the cute fruit and vegetable shops and discover the community garden.

The approach is original: I went to a class on the sense of smell and learnt how to identify the compounds that create the perception of odour with a mass spectrometer! Many people do the static electricity experiment and end up with their hair standing straight up in the air. The workshops are interesting and the guides are passionate.
