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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

This place is worth seeing. First of all, without even being passionate about the famous author, this place overflows with treasures. It's like a trip from the third millenium to the 19th century. Moreover, the permanent exhibitions are free. According to me, it's a great way to discover a part of Victor Hugo's life.

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.
