We're confident our travel video guide covered some of the top attractions in Paris along with some suggestions that wouldn't necessarily be found in a tourism guide book including information on festivals, arts, entertainment and dining along with French cuisine. Most of the French foods we sampled would be found at any kind of local French bakery (pâtisserie).
50 Things to do in Paris, France | Top Attractions Travel Guide Travel Video Transcript:
Hello, and welcome to Paris. This week we are exploring the city of love, city of lights and city of art. This video will be showing you the top 50 things to do while you visit Paris.
So we're wrapping things up here. What would be your one tip for visiting Paris? Well, I have recently spent a whole ten days here in summer. I would say that if you really want to visit the art galleries, the museums and all of the main attractions you should probably avoid summer and like either come in the spring or the fall or even winter. Because the lines are insane and sometimes you have to wait like an hour and a half or two hours.
So how about you? What are your final thoughts on Paris? So my finals thoughts is obviously Paris is one of the top cities in the world in terms of attractions. There is going to be garbage, there is going to be lines, there is going to be some areas that are a bit of an eyesore. But there is also a lot of beauty and there is also a lot to do here.
And that concludes our guide of the top 50 things to do and see in Paris. We hope you enjoyed watching, and let us know if there are other places you would add to this list.
This is part of our Travel in France series showcasing French culture, French arts, French foods & French cuisine.

Great!
(Parisian speaking) I think the Louvre truly deserves to be in the first 5. It's like the epitome of art museum, the palace being the first masterpiece, you can walk the rooms throughout the year without seeing the same piece twice ; it's an eternal amazement. Good to know it's always free for europeans under 25, and for everybody the first sunday of the month ; plus, in autumn and winter, you can even find yourself alone in some rooms.
I think you shouldn't miss the delightful Palais Royal, Pigalle or the north of Montmartre to catch a glimpse of parisian life, the Quartier latin and the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, historically the student district, still a nice place to hang out, buy books or just have a walk.
For anyone planning the trip, I would really suggest, if you can, to visit France and not only Paris. There's a long-lasting vision of Paris as the only real city in the country, but France is all about well-kept secrets. It's an understatement to say that Lyon, Nantes, Bordeaux, Normandy, the Loire Valley, Provence, lots of others, are worth the trip.
sino71 Thank you! Such great advice and suggestions here. I agree with you especially about not thinking a city represents a country. We haven't done a lot of travel in other areas of France; however, on our train ride to Barcelona we couldn't help but notice so many interesting places we'd like to visit. I think one of the great things about Paris is that you could have another 50 things to do list (with entirely different suggestions) that would rival the one we created.
As a Parisian (born and lived there for 20 years) I approve this list for 1st time tourists!
Maybe add a few places in the Quartier latin: go to rue Mouffetard and have a mint tea and arabic pastries at the Grande Mosquee before going to the Jardin des Plantes.
I would skip the Galeries Lafayette because there is so many people and spend a little more time in le Marais (from St Paul, take the rue Pavee, rue des Rosiers, rue Vieille du Temple and rue des Francs Bourgeois, until the place des Vosges. Also go to rue des Archives and maybe have lunch at the Marché des enfants rouges)
Thank you very much! I really appreciate your insight. Nobody knows a place better than locals :)
You are so beautiful!!! I’m a portrait photographer traveling to Paris in 2018 and would love to photograph you if you still live there!!

Great way to share how to explore the city! We went in fall and now spring and both times were wonderful weather and the lines werent bad at all. 10 days is just enough to enjoy this amazing city!
Last month June 2019 I visited Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brugge, Brussels, Paris,Luxembourg,Frankfurt,Berlin and Prague in the Czech republic..and my honest opinion..Paris is so majestic, the architecture is out of this world am definitely going back.
I've visited Europe and it is sooo awesome, for those of you that haven't gone I recommend you to go it's beautiful❤💙💚💛💖💗💞👌🗼
I agree with you!
Leaving for Paris Saturday, SO EXCITED

Great video of Paris!
+Stephanie Li Thank you very much! :)
We went a for a few days last month. I had been there from Scotland as a student in the 70s (cycled there with my buddy and we slept one night on a bench outside Notre Dame!). Back twice later but with our own kids or with boyscouts. This time we had NO extras just us! Had a great few days in the sunshine, petits dejeuners in cafés near Montparnass. Enjoyed the Eiffel Tower and Tour Montparnass by day and night. Magical city. I might put my own CZcams up but at present only the 2 minute 'Fast Flight to Paris' is there. Thanks for sharing! Happy travels! Next time a jambon fromage crêpe for me too! :)
Nice video!
Nous aimons Paris et ces videos.
Great video guys I learned a lot I am planning to visit Paris next year

Bonjour Merci Boku! Paris leaves much to be desired rusty tower of a crowd of Arabs, the poor Romanians play in the square in 3 maps Monte is a disgrace to Paris! This is not the capital of the cultural state of France! This I saw in Africa! It's a shame!
DONT "lock your love"....! This is illegal now. The weight of the heavy metal locks weigh down the ancient bridge.
That is good to know. Thanks for the update.
Well done! I️ like your video
I Love Paris
Cool to hear! :)
Thanks you
Thanks!
Thank you, finally you talked bout some places most people didnt talk about haha
My favorite crêpes are the banana nutella ones. Really good to eat right before a night out drinking...a lot....of wine and stuff.
+Ukuleledeparis Travel Yes, those are definitely the best ;)
I loved the video... I haven't been back in awhile.. but Paris is never a disappointment. I've been 3 times.. In my opinion.. October is the best time to go.
Thank you very much! In terms of weather, crowds and prices it must be fantastic then.
That's so cool. that helps me know what you can do while in the lovely City of Paris.
it would be really cool if you guys could do a trip on Monte Carlo
+D Serrano Thank you! I hope you have a great time in Paris. Oh, Monte Carlo sounds great. I hope we'll get to visit soon.
I'm watching this video now. BecAuse I'll be staying in Paris for 4 months . Starting this September . To practice my French language for work . Thx guys. And you guys visit Europe again . Hope we could meet up ;)
Thank you! Wow, such cool plans. I hope you have a great time in Paris. We'll let you know if we return.
I've been following you guys on CZcams forever and the one time Im studying abroad I just happened to be in the same city as you guys! So weird to see the places we both visited along the way. Happy One year and hopefully I'll run into you guys one day!
