Ideas for places where you can relax!

Today, I share you my last article on Paris. I recommend you different places where it feels good to live, where you can air in your mind, relax a few moments. 1. Royal Palace Garden  This public garden is a haven of peace in the heart of the capital. It allows to relax while being protected from the crowd that reigns in the streets of Paris. In fact, very few tourists go there because it is little known. It is more frequented by locals or by people seeking calm and tranquillity. The architecture of the buildings that surround it is magnificent. Under the arcades, you will find antique shops, booksellers, decoration and even two restaurants that have pleasant terraces in the sun overlooking the garden. This beautiful garden houses a beautiful vegetation, a fountain and statues. In the courtyard of honor of the Royal Palace, you will most certainly be intrigued by the columns of Buren. It is a contemporary work of art created by Daniel Buren in 1986. In total, there ar...

Discover Paris and its historic heart by boat

Bateaux Mouches on the Seine  This boat trip on the Seine is one of the essential activities that I recommend for your stay in Paris but preferably when it's sunny!  This activity is ideal for discovering, near or far, the mythical monuments of Paris such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, the National Assembly, Notre-Dame Cathedral... Very often, the circuit, lasting about 1 hour, is as follows:  Located at the Alma Bridge, I recommend the company "Bateaux Mouches"; it will be happy to welcome you to make you visit Paris from a different angle. It has 6 pleasant barges and ensures regular departures (every 30-40 min) and daily from morning to evening. You can opt for a simple guided boat trip, a lunch, or even a romantic dinner on a night cruise to admire ParisByNight. But who says tourist activity, said activity ... a little expensive! Indeed, for an adult it costs about 14 euros the excursion. You can also consult t...

Direction the Marais district !

In this article, I tell you about my favorite places in the Marais district in the center of Paris. If you know others, don't hesitate to comment.  1. La Place des Vosges  This place is the oldest Place Royale, the most beautiful in Paris!  Its famous red brick facades and blue slate roofs reflect the Renaissance style. I advise you to walk under the arcades, you will discover small antique shops and even an opera singer who is there almost every day of the year! Do not miss its quality performances that will soothe you. Summer or winter, you can stroll in the central public garden, lengthen you in the grass to enjoy the sun or organize a picnic with family or friends. I assure you this garden is very relaxing and the Place des Vosges gives off an incredible charm!  2. Le Voltigeur This restaurant is a marvel! (one of my favorites in Paris)   "The Voltigeur" offers dishes more appetizing than each other, certainly nothing revolutionary...
