What travellers are saying
- Coby H4 contributionsNOT DISAPPOINTED! First visit. Came around the corner along the Seine at nighttime. Then the tower's base suddenly appears. With the tower covered in light! Amazing!! So much grander when you see it in real life!Written 18 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- worleybird98Hudson, OH916 contributionsWe had arrived to Paris early in the morning, and had to drop our luggage at a Stasher location so we picked one next to these gardens. Once our luggage was dropped off, we got to go right into the gardens and it was such a nice visit. Everything is nice and open, lots of shade trees, and it was just a beautiful place to relax, grab a chair, and do some people watching. We loved the grand basin, we got to see one of the statues of liberty, and we got to use the public restrooms, (which are actually very nice). We finished our visit by stopping by the Medici fountain and then headed out of the gardens to continue our sightseeing for the day. It was a very relaxing stop and I'm so glad we didn't miss it!Written 11 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tamara PMinot, ND128 contributionsWhat a beautiful site! My husband is a huge history buff so this was a must see on the list. If is free to visit but if you want to walk up into the Arc, the tickets are about $23 per person. And be prepared... your legs will be tired.Written 17 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KarinnaCraigBrisbane, Australia1,180 contributionsIncredible Basilica on top of the high point of Paris.
This would be my 5th Paris trip and 5th visit to Sacre-Coeur and I love it every time. I think I am enjoying it more and more as I get older and appreciate the history and architecture more now. Absolutely lovely to walk through and look out across Paris city. Stunning anytime of day.Written 17 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Liber MarinBraga, Portugal8 contributionsMontmartre, in Paris, is a charming artistic district full of history. Strolling the streets, you will find charming cafes, quaint stores and incredible views of Paris from the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. It is a perfect place for art lovers and those looking for the bohemian spirit of Paris.Written 16 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mairwen1United Kingdom11,974 contributionsWe spent some time walking mourned the Marais, exploring this charming and historic area. The Marais covers the 3rd & 4th Arrondissements and is an easy place to walk around and discover narrow cobblestone streets with eclectic shops and boutiques, old aristocratic mansions, cafes and lovely architecture..
The highlights were the Place des Vosges, two free museums and the best ever croque monsieur at a little wine-bar.
We took the following route:
i) We started from Notre Dame and strolled along the Seine, past the Ile St Louis (the less famous of Paris’ two small islands).
ii) Along the way, we stopped to browse at the ‘bouquinistes’, the vintage book and poster sellers who unpack their stalls every day from the little green boxes that sit along the walls of the Seine River. Fortunately they were not moved on for the Olympics.
iii) From there, we made our way to the Place de la Bastille
iv) Next we walked to the Place des Vosges, often said to be the prettiest square in Paris.
v) Nearby is a hidden gem - the Victor Hugo Museum. Stepping into his house was like stepping into a time warp. The lavish 19th century furnishings, as well as ceramics, sculptures, manuscripts, photographs, letters, and paintings have been preserved as a small museum. Entry is free.
vi) We stopped for a light lunch and a glass of wine at Vins des Pyrenees where we sat outside the sun (this is where we discovered the croque monsieur)
vii) Our final stop was the Carnavalet, another free museum. It was excellent and we could have easily spent a couple of hours but we had limited time and in just one hour, we barely scratched the surface.Written 12 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you’re lucky enough to be there on a sunny day, the way the sun lights up the golden statues is just incredible!!Written 16 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HerschbeinCPAWayne, NJ201 contributionsSo much to see - take your time. There is so much more here than just stores or the street itself. Lots of artwork, cafes, restaurants, and smaller streets and alleyways to explore, plus the Arch is at the end.Written 31 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mairwen1United Kingdom11,974 contributionsThe tree-lined and statue-studded Tuileries Garden is one of the best free things to do in Paris.
It’s the biggest and oldest garden-park in Paris, rivalled only by the Luxembourg Garden (my favourite is probably still the Luxembourg Garden - but it’s a close call).
For most tourists, the Tuileries is the easiest one to visit because it's located between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde.
There are water features, fountains, grand and small ponds, beautiful flower beds and classic statues.
Several large bronze beasts caught my eye. One showed a large, tiger attacking a rhino. Another showed a lion and lioness fighting a wild boar and another one had a tiger pinning down a crocodile. Brutal but dramatic. They were like David Attenborough videos captured in bronze.
If like us, you are on a tight time frame, you can simply walk straight down the main artery of the park but if you have more time, there are lots of side paths to wander down.
NOTE:
At the Louvre end, there is an additional sculpture garden with a large collection of works by Aristide Maillol. Its not officially a part of the Tuileries but its flows straight on from it and is also free.Written 12 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s a perfect little square, measuring 140 x 140 m, with four identical stone fountains, one in each corner. There are mature, green leafy trees and white gravel paths lead towards the centre where there is a large equestrian statue of Louis XIII. His father, King Henri IV, built the square as part of a beautification-of-Paris project.
Elegant 17th century red-brick townhouses encircle the square, making it look like something out of Bridgerton.
It’s only a small park but its well-used. People are lying on the grassy areas, reading or enjoying the sun.
If you are exploring the Marais area, this is a good starting point.
It’s also worth noting that Victor Hugo’s house (now a free museum) is right next door and the Carnavalet Museum is nearby.Written 5 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Once inside the cathedral, first by looking down from above, and then by going down below to this tomb. I got to see a lot about tomb, it was impressive.
Really enjoyed the Napoleon’s Tomb!Written 16 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Mairwen1United Kingdom11,974 contributionsIf like us, you enjoy walking and exploring on foot, then the Latin Quarter is a lively, vibrant area with a rich history and a lot to see.
We had already started our morning at the beautiful Luxembourg Garden (one of my favourite free things to do in Paris) and the Latin Quarter was an easy walk from here.
We walked the following route:
i) Our first stop was the Pantheon. The eastern section of the Garden (near the palace and Medici fountain) borders the Latin Quarter so if you leave via Rue de Médicis, it's only a short 10 minute walk to the Pantheon.
ii) From here, we headed down the Boulevard Saint Michel, one of the main arteries running through the heart of the Latin Quarter. The Boulevard has seen a lot of history. During WWII, resistance fighters set up barricades here. You can still see bullet holes in some walls. There are chilling stories of the German tanks rolling down the boulevard and, according to one story, the German army used French men and women as human shields, tying them onto the front of the tanks.
iii) As we reached the end of the boulevard, we came to the Saint Michel Fountain. This is one of the best known landmarks in the Latin Quarter and is located beside the Seine River, close to the Ile de Cite. The monumental, pink-marbled fountain and the square in front of it always seem to attract a crowd. The fountain features a triumphant Archangel Michael wielding a weirdly wavy sword above a fallen Satan. It’s a dramatic moment and the sword looks like it is about to fall upon Satan’s head at any time. There are fierce, winged, water-spouting dragons and the whole thing is framed by a large triumphal arch and pink marble columns.
iv) This brought our Latin Quarter walk to an end. We barely scratched the surface but we didn’t have a lot of time and had to make tough decisions about what to see and what to skip. With more time, we’d have strolled through some of the side streets and checked out some of the other sights such as the the Sorbonne and the Church of Saint-Séverin. I’d have liked to have seen the outdoor sculpture museum and the ‘Lady and the Unicorn’ tapestries at the Cluny museum.Written 15 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

* Many restaurants and cafes and other food stuffs
* Many scenic bridges cross the island

* It can be crowded, busy and confusing
"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
... because it's a great place- the center of Paris. I loved walking onto and exploring the island. I walked pat the (closed) Cathedral of Notre Dame several times, visited the Memorial to the Deportation and its adjacent park and went inside Saint- Chapelle and the Conciergerie. I also crossed many of its bridges.
WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
Yes- it is free
WOULD "I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN?
For sure

I could definately see myself living in Paris and going to this market to get a week's worth of food! The produce was great! And the cheese selection was awesome. Just make sure you check what days it is open -- it is closed on Saturdays.Written 13 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
