Start your Parisian adventure with a visit to this iconic landmark. Take the elevator or climb the stairs for stunning views of the city. Consider timing your visit for sunset or after dark to see the tower illuminated.
Admire the stunning Gothic architecture of this iconic cathedral. A reminder that no interior visits are allowed at this time due to renovations after the fire. But guests can still visit the cathedral square, which looks onto both the crypt and the cathedral’s entrance. You can also go inside the archeological crypt — or the “Crypte archéologique de l’île de la Cité,” located right in front of Notre Dame. This underground crypt shows you layers of the city’s history in fascinating ruins, a poignant contrast to the cathedral being rebuilt above ground. Consider visiting nearby Shakespeare and Company bookstore afterward.
Delve into the world of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art at this former railway station turned museum. Admire masterpieces by artists like Monet, Van Gogh, and Renoir.
