Built on an old railway viaduct, this elevated park offers stunning views of the city. As you walk along the park\u2019s tree-lined paths, you\u2019ll see hidden gardens decorated with sculptures and fountains. The park is a peaceful oasis in the city\u2019s heart, and it\u2019s a great place to escape the crowds. Fun fact: some scenes from the iconic movie \u201cBefore Sunset\u201d were filmed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a unique cultural experience, consider the Mus\u00e9e de la Chasse et de la Nature. Dedicated to the history of hunting and nature, it features an eclectic collection of taxidermy, artwork, and hunting gear. Housed in a 17th-century mansion, the museum\u2019s ornate decor is worth a visit alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"48424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris-outside-lights-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Parisien\" class=\"wp-image-48424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris-outside-lights-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris-outside-lights-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris-outside-lights-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris-outside-lights-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris-outside-lights-1568x1046.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris-outside-lights.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Can it get any more <em>Parisien<\/em> than this?

After all, you can hardly go home without seeing the Eiffel Tower. Instead of battling the crowds at the base of the tower, consider viewing it from a distance. One of its best angles is from the Trocad\u00e9ro Gardens, which offers a panoramic view of the tower and the city beyond. Another brilliant spot to see the city\u2019s vista is the Montparnasse Tower. Built in 1973, this 689 ft (210m) behemoth was the city\u2019s first business skyscraper. Parisians say the best view of the city is from the 56th floor, as you can\u2019t see the tower, which is said to ruin the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important landmark is Notre Dame Cathedral. In 2019, the cathedral suffered a devastating fire, but it\u2019s still possible to visit the grounds and see the exterior of the building. If you find this too depressing, head over to the nearby Sainte-Chapelle. This 13th-century chapel is famous for its stunning stained glass windows, depicting Bible scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"48442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris_river_boat-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Muse\u00e9 d\u2019Orsay\" class=\"wp-image-48442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris_river_boat-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris_river_boat-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris_river_boat-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris_river_boat-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris_river_boat.jpg 1267w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Containing all those Impressionists paintings, the stunning Muse\u00e9 d\u2019Orsay is even prettier on the inside.

Housed in a former train station, its collection includes works by Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists such as Monet, Degas, and Van Gogh. The museum\u2019s grand central hall is impressive and offers gorgeous views of the Seine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the subject of culture, you can\u2019t miss the opportunity to visit some of the city\u2019s seasonal events and festivals. One of the most famous is the F\u00eate de la Musique, which takes place on June 21, the summer solstice, but typically starts with a pre-event on the weekend before. This festival celebrates music in all its forms, with free concerts and performances throughout the city. Join the happy, drunken Parisians who are perusing the streets for the next party to join. The Paris Jazz Festival takes place from June to July in Parc Floral de Paris. This outdoor festival features jazz performances from around the world, along with food and drink vendors and activities for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"48448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris_catacombs-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Catacombs\" class=\"wp-image-48448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris_catacombs-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris_catacombs-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris_catacombs-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris_catacombs-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris_catacombs-1568x1176.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.omio.com\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/paris_catacombs.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spooky!
