Top 10 tourist attractions in paris, things to see

The busiest places in the capital are often underworld on Earth. Crowds, queues 8 km long, inability to admire the place ... very little for us, thank you. What if you took advantage of a quieter and more peaceful Paris after confinement to (re) discover its emblematic places? Follow the guide, let's go!

Monuments are reopening in small quantities, but tourists remain rare. Now is the perfect time to explore the capital and (finally) set foot in some cool places you've never visited.

1. Scare yourself in the Catacombs
This is the opportunity to visit the city's ossuary, less the influx of tourists. To avoid the accumulation of crowds in this closed place located twenty meters below the surface (claustrophobic to refrain), the reservation of a visit slot is now compulsory for all.

2. Play basketball at the Duperré Playground
It is in the 9th arrondissement of Paris that hides a little wonder for sportsmen and aspiring instagramers: a magnificent basketball court enclosed between two buildings. With its unusual and illegal dimensions, this land was threatened with closure. But thanks to a makeover, it has become the most stylish playground in Paris to the chagrin of basketball players. So take advantage of this moment of respite in the capital to have fun. May the best win !

3. Stroll around the Palace of Versailles
When it comes to talking about historical architectural heritage, the Palace of Versailles is inexorably one of the first buildings we think of. If many of you have already made the trip to visit with your own eyes, odds are the 3-hour queue has put you off. So imagine being able to stroll in the Royal Court or the Hall of Mirrors and chill in the King's Grand Apartment, all without tourists! The dream…

4. Have a drink at the Montparnasse tower
The rooftop is always the place to be. And make no mistake, like us, you love it. The Paris Montparnasse Observatory delights us all year round with its rooftop (the highest in the capital!). We then enjoy a good cocktail and the 360 ° C panoramic view of the entire capital. You tell me the news.

This is the quintessential attraction that all Parisians have never had. And yet, this little wonder is the tallest French building to date. Visited about 7 million times a year, it was supposed to be only a temporary installation. The residents of Champs-de-Mars even petitioned for its destruction. More than a century later, she taunts her detractors from her height of 279 m.

6. Take a walk in the Père-Lachaise cemetery
Praised each year by more than 3 million visitors, the Père-Lachaise cemetery is an inexhaustible source of walks. Both a Parisian monument, a huge 44-hectare park and an open-air museum, the Père-Lachaise cemetery offers a unique visit in tribute to the personalities buried.

7. Explore the Center Pompidou
A Mecca for modern and contemporary art, the Center Pompidou welcomes more than 3.5 million visitors each year. The opportunity to discover the great retrospective dedicated to Christo without tourists!

8. Cultivate yourself at the Louvre museum
The Louvre Museum is renowned for its incredible architecture, its impressive collections and above all ... its endless queue! The opportunity therefore to discover his famous works and admire La Joconde without the flood of tourists in front. The smartest will opt for the secondary entrance, a little hidden away, and therefore sheltered from Parisian tourists.

9. Chiller at the Sacred Heart (Sacré-Cœur)
Let us warn you if you are not already aware: the Sacré-Coeur basilica is the second most visited monuments in Paris with more than 10.5 million visitors each year. You have no more excuses for not (re) discovering this architectural marvel which stands proudly in Montmartre.

10. Visit the Orsay museum
