Sightseeing
A stroll in the Marais without admiring the place des Vosges is like a walk on the Champs Elysees without seeing the Arc de Triomphe! The composition of the Place des Vosges epitomizes the classic French style and is a unique example of seventeenth century architecture.
- As you walk along the arches bordering the square, you will discover fabulous gourmet places to eat such as Carette ( best macaron in Paris!!!) or La Place Royale.
- Many art galleries line the Place des Vosges. Their large windows are open invitations to enter and discover their treasures, and their owners will be pleased to introduce you to the artists. All speak perfect English as well as other languages.

Surrounded by no fewer than 180 elegant arches, its tranquil garden of almost two hectares, redesigned by Le Nôtre in 1674, is a peaceful haven that's ideal for a relaxing stroll. Adorned with lime trees, chestnut trees, sculptures and a large central pond, it's the perfect place for a rest, a romantic walk, an impromptu picnic or a spot of reading. Near the garden, in the inner courtyard (Cour d'Honneur) of the Palais-Royal, you can also see Buren's famous black and white striped columns, a contemporary installation that looks like a giant chessboard...
The garden of the Palais-Royal is the only garden in Paris classified as “Remarkable Garden” by the French Ministry of Culture.

The Palais Garnier, an architectural masterpiece inaugurated in 1875 at the request of Napoleon III, is without doubt one of the most dazzling monuments in Paris. A world of elegance, not to be missed!
As for the ceiling of the theatre, it boasts a 220 m² monumental painting by the artist Marc Chagall! The fresco’s modern and contemporary look is a striking contrast to the red and gold of the auditorium below. A real high point of the visit, this auditorium brings undeniable modernity to the building and contributes to making it an outstanding monument.
A visit to the Palais Garnier can be undertaken independently or with a guide. Multimedia audio guides (on smartphone or iPad) are available to the public to learn more about the building and unravel its secrets. Ideal for exploring the opera house in greater depth: anecdotes, details and documents from the era make a visit even more enriching and provide a better appreciation of the exceptional scale of this lavish ‘palace’.
