    Lots of religious buildings here, some museums and some pretty little parks. It has evolved into an upscale neighborhood with great shopping and eating. Good place to look for antiques, but beware, prices can be high. Also the HQ of the publishing industry in France. Take a guided tour, like we did.

    Beautiful church. Free entry. Nice to site and relax for a while. Was not busy at all.
    You can get candles and pay with card. 1 to 2 euros. It was beautiful inside. Peaceful and energizing.

    The church was stunningly beautiful but the memorial to the 11,000 transported from this church to Auschwitz by the Nazis broke my heart in two. I read the names of the children represented her, between the ages of 18 mo. and the age of six, to remember them and all who died.

    The dome is striking from the outside. However, it is also incredible within. It is a harmonious blend of grandeur and solemn. At its heart, of course, is the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte himself. It is surprisingly powerful.

    The church of St-Germain l'Auxerrois was built in the 13th century, replacing the original church of the 5th-6th century. It was subjected to major modifications in the 15th and 16th centuries.

    The exterior of the church has elements of Romanesque, Rayonnant, Flamboyant Gothic, and Renaissance architecture, and the interior (dating from the 15th century) has a central nave, a choir, a transept, and aisles along the nave with several chapels lining them.

    The most beautiful chapels are the Chapel of the Virgin, the Chapel of the Tomb,
    the Chapel of Saint Landry of Paris, the Chapel of the Saints Patrons.

    Paintings, frescoes, retablos and stained glass windows can be seen around the church.

    Les Invalides, Napoleon‘s impressive statue and his tomb - all can be found here and give an impressive account of the man who came from nothing and conquered Europe. There have been many films made about him, but visiting this place will teach you more than any celluloid can ever transport.

    Located close to the beautiful Jardin des plantes, you'll find this hidden treasure.

    Morocco?! Tunisia?!.... no,no you are in Paris!

    Beautiful mosaics, woodcarving etc to admire! As well as fountains, gardens etc

    Chill in busy Paris and enjoy a time out for 3 Euro pp.

    Small, busy café/restaurant with typical oriental ambience and food.

    Whether your catholic or art lover or even history. Churches offer great glimpses into different artistic styles. And if your a Catholic, well you’ll like seeing the different styles of churches.but seriously the styles of art and building is worth looking at. For me anyway. But like I said it’s probably not for everyone. Most churches are open and free. Some ask for donation as they are trying to preserve all the historic items.

    This rather large and beautiful cathedral or basilica is squeezed in between buildings and trees. If you are in the vicinity, it worth a visit to admire the impressive architecture.

    The Arc De Triomphe is a monument in honour of those who sacrificed their lives in the defence of France and this is were you will find the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier ( La Tombe Du Soldat Inconnu ).
    This tomb contains the remains of an unknown soldier from World War One who represents all soldiers who have perished throughout the history of France,installed on the 11th of November 1920 ,it's a very poignant monument that's most definitely well worth checking out if you're planning a holiday to Paris and is easy to locate on Place Charles De Gaulle .

    Built in tribute to Mary for answered prayers. The walls are covered with thanks and acknowledgements to the Virgin Mary, most anonymous. A quiet and lovely place to reflect. Although the Basilica is in the heart of the City, it appears overlooked. But don't miss this beautiful place. Use the camera feature on Google translate if you can't read French. So very touching!

    Added plus: within steps of Galleria Vivienne and the gorgeous National Library.

    So, we checked out the Grande Synagogue in Paris, and it's pretty awesome. The outside is like a mix of cool architectural styles, and inside is just grand with fancy windows and a big dome.

    They do tours, and we learned about how the synagogue played a role during World War II, which was interesting. We even joined a prayer service and felt the community vibe.

    Next to it, there's a memorial for Jews deported during the war. It's a bit somber but makes you think.

    Overall, the Grande Synagogue is not just a religious place; it's a cool spot to chill and soak in some history in the middle of Paris. Worth checking out if you're around.

    We waited over an hour to enter and SO glad we did! Absolutely gorgeous stained glass windows! Worth it to get your tickets in advance (some hotels offer this option), it can save you a lot of time in line.

    We wandered down Rue Mouffetard, and at the bottom of the hill we found this very old church. Went inside, it is classic and from the Middle Ages. There was a cult here very long ago. Nice park area outside.
