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!

Notre Dame is open, free of charge, every day of the year. It still operates as a cathedral so you can light a candle for your loved ones – purchase by making a donation inside. For the more active, you can climb the 387 steps of the internal winding staircase to view the gargoyles up close, as well as take in the stunning views over Paris.

Down the hill you’ll find Paris' only remaining vineyard, planted in the 1930s to prevent urban encroachment, which still has a harvest party every year. You can also find a number of small museums such as the Museum of Montmartre housed in the oldest building in the neighbourhood – la Maison du Bel Air.

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.

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.

Tuileries is perfectly placed between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde, and there are a few cafés dotted around the gardens if you'd like to buy an ice cream or a sandwich. As a diversion from the hustle and bustle of rue de Rivoli, these gardens are good for the soul.

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.

Not only is it an art gallery, it's also a hub of artistic innovation and interaction, and one of Paris' most alternative cultural spaces. Set in an amazing location near Trocadéro, it’s a great place to escape overly touristy museums. There’s a beautiful garden and two restaurants – one serving French food, the other Japanese.

Barely inside, you’ll be overcome by emotions. It’s not a large museum, though there are lots of documents to read and many unknown facts to learn. The sober and sombre décor of the museum encourages you to contemplate and empathise.
