loved the Galeries Lafayette. I could lost in there for days with all the shopping. I don’t think my wallet would like it, though…

I was lucky enough to have lived and worked in Paris and can think of two places not mentioned. One is the home of Napolean and Josephine, the Chateau de Malmaison, in the town of Rueil Malmaison west of Paris. The other is the Sainte Chapelle. When you climb the stairs from the lower level of the Sainte Chapelle and walk out into the chapel on the next level the stunning beauty of the floor to ceiling stain glass windows and all the myriad colors displayed on the floor of the chapel in the sun light is dazzling. Paris ville de merveilles!

I absolutely love Vaux le Vicomte, and would hurry back there when next in Paris.. my other great pleasure is visiting la Place des Voges in the Marais district, ambling around Le Marais, and then walking along the Seine with Notre Dame in view … for another nice day out from Paris try the Chateau de Compiegne as well..very historic if you can get to the forest where the Armistice agreement was signed nearby as well..

We’re planning a long weekend in Paris sometime soon. We’ve already done the “must-sees” so it’s nice to have a curated list of some lesser-known treasures. Thanks!

Great list! I’ve only spent a couple of days in Paris and only had time to see the most popular places, but next time I go there I’ll check these ones out for sure.

I will also add Moulin Rouge. It is an interesting place to check out. The Moulin Rouge area was very lively at night and great for a night walk around.

Great addition, thanks. I will definitely add Musee Marmottan to my March touring list. I also love the Mus�e Jacquemart-Andr� at 158 Boulevard Haussmann, but thought I had enough of my decorative arts passion in the article. Glad to add it here. Best Jean

I would definitely add Mus�e Marmottan to the list. A converted hunting lodge on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne, the tiny gallery includes the painting for which the movement was named, “Impression, Sunrise”. It is basically the Monet family collection and an island of calm in the frenetic island that is Paris.
