Most tourists visit the Eiffel Tower in daylight. That's reason enough to delay your climb until the late evening, when smaller crowds and shorter lines make an ascent more pleasant. But an even better reason is to enjoy the tower's nighttime ambience. There is something magical about visiting the E…

O Chateau is a must for any Parisian visitors, and I'm not just saying that because I used to work there!
Olivier Magny, the sommelier behind O Chateau (who speaks English so well and without even the slightest hint of an accent you almost want to slap him!!!) makes these wine tastings fun and me…

The Rue Cler market is a street market. I visited on a Sunday morning, so if you were planning on visiting yourself I'd check to make sure that the market is as vibrant during the week as it was on the weekend.
The Rue Cler is a street not far from Hotel Invalides that has a variety of places to…

This is a wonderful old railway station turned into a museum. It features 19th century art, including Europe's greatest Impressionalist Collection. Musee d'Orsay picks up where the Louvre leaves off, featuring French art from the mid 1800s to the 1st World War. The Orsay is covered by the Museum …

filosofi is a shop of correspondance cards, notebooks, printed paper,
art books, etc. The shop is not only making their own products
that are art in themselves but the shop is an evolving place of
art. I highly recommend it for such needs. It's also known
that the owners are fr…

In the ordinary guide, la Défense is described as the Parisian business district, which is the biggest of Europe - finito. But there's so much more about it, though.
Let's start with the name, which appears a bit strange in the first moment. Yet it comes from a monument, which is called "La Dé…

The Musée Guimet was constructed by Emile Guimet, a industrialist from Lyon who devised the grand project of opening a museum devoted to the religions of Asian art. And it's a good thing he did that, if you ask me :). The museum is not very far from the Eiffel Tower and close to Palais de Tokyo. Yo…

If you like contemporary and modern art, Palais de Tokyo is definitely worth a visit. This museum has great exhibitions for a low price. You'll pay 6 euro. People younger than 26 or older than 60 pay 4.50 euro.
It's difficult to say something about the museum because, there isn't an art collectio…

Paris is for me a paradoxe. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I miss it whereas sometimes I wish I was far away...
Today, I loved it. I spent hours in the Parc Monceau, my favourite park in Paris. It is said that it was designed using Rousseau's words from La Nouvelle Héloïse : 'bring together a…

This bridge is my favourite in Paris. It is named after the Tsar Alexander III, who gave the bridge to the French for the Universal Exhibition to celebrate their friendship, as the Franco-Russian alliance was concluded in of 1892. The bridge was built between 1896 and 1900.
It spans the Seine, f…

What do you see when you look up to the top of the great cathedral of Notre Dame? You see monsters, half-man and half-beast. These demon looking creatures carved out of stone are called gargoyles. They are one of the many eerie stone figures that adorn the gutters of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in P…

After hitting just about every major tourist attraction in Paris, what do I remember the most? The Musee Rodin. This gem of a museum is simply amazing. Even on a cold December day I spent hours wandering the gardens and the permanent collection. To see "The Thinker" high above the hedges is well wor…
