Travel to Paris – the little-known underside of the city of lights

The unsuspecting traveler often reflexively associates the French capital with a few symbols like the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Champs-Élysées. However, the capital has many other facets and a whole range of original activities.

Paris, the city of romantic walks and unusual strolls
The bateaux-mouches have been cruising the Seine since 1950. Group cruises can be entertaining, but they will never be as romantic as excursions aboard a private bateau-mouche. Boats of all kinds are available, allowing you to gaze into your beloved’s eyes as you pass under the most prestigious bridges of Paris. In a completely different vein, a visit to the catacombs, a vast underground ossuary, can provide a thrilling chill during a trip to Paris.
Amazing restaurants in a major city of world gastronomy
The reputation of French gastronomy is well established. Therefore, it’s not in the upscale restaurants that you should go to surprise your taste buds, but rather in the quirky establishments that abound in Paris. Among them, the Wagon Bleu recreates the refined and exotic atmosphere of dining cars in the heart of the city. Or there’s the aptly named “Le Petit Resto Dans La Prairie,” which recreates the warm atmosphere of the French countryside between Montmartre and the Seine. Eating Italian cuisine at Bel Canto is another extraordinary culinary experience.
The most curious museums in Paris
While a visit to the Louvre seems essential during a trip to Paris, less prestigious but far more astonishing museums are worth a visit. Deyrolle, an institution that perpetuates the tradition of cabinets of curiosities, houses eclectic collections of taxidermy animals that can even be purchased. Another possible visit during a trip to Paris is the perfume museum, fitting in a city that has long distilled essences of all kinds for the world. As for the museum of letters and manuscripts, it presents the public with autographs of some of the most illustrious French figures, including Napoleon.
