Parc André Citroën
One of Paris' newest parks on the site of a former car factory. A must for fans of modern landscaping or just anyone who needs a bit of fresh air. River views.
In this neighbourhood you can get lost in thought, taking timeless walks in parks and along tree-lined boulevards, or feed your inquisitive mind with contemporary art and architecture and the best of world heritage collections or exquisite tapestries. Or you can have your madeleine and eat it by partaking of both.
Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac
The most interesting museum to arrive in Paris in recent years, it combines the collections of a number of ethnographic museums with a cutting-edge programme.
Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporain
Cutting a figure of its own in the treacherous waters of the art world, the foundation offers a programme of temporary exhibitions in a magical setting.
Jardin du Luxembourg
A backdrop to too many key events in French history to mention. Better that you simply relive its magic for yourself.
Aquaboulevard
Europe's largest aquapark is within easy reach in Paris. Good to know if you need to give the little tykes some fun but want to explore grown-up delights too.
Musée de Cluny – Musée National du Moyen-Âge (Musée de Cluny | Musée national du Moyen-Âge)
Let your eyes adjust to the dim light and take in the red tapestries: whoever said that unicorns do not exist has obviously not yet been to the Musée de Cluny.
