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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Travellers should visit it because it's one of the most important monuments in the city. If you love French films, don't hesitate to recall love drama "Les Amants du Pont Neuf" (1991), the love story between a street artist and a homeless man.

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.

It's one of the largest science museums in Europe. The futurist architecture of the building is pretty interesting, especially the 3D cinema "La Géode" which is a sphere that spans 36 metres in diameter and is entirely covered of mirrors. After your visit you can take a walk in the park or visit the cinema to enjoy the gigantic hemispheric screen!

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.
