Built in 1846, Passage Jouffroy is one of the most popular and charming covered arcades in Paris. It was a technological marvel of its time, being the first Parisian passage built entirely of iron and glass and the first to feature underfloor heating. It remains a bustling corridor of nostalgia, connecting the Grands Boulevards to the Rue de la Grange-Batelière.

Rue du Nil is a tiny, unassuming cobblestone street in the Sentier district (2nd Arrondissement) that has become one of Paris’s premier "foodie" corridors. Once a quiet alleyway, it was transformed over the last decade into a gourmet hub by star chef Grégory Marchand and the artisanal supplier Terroirs d’Avenir.

A magnificent Louis XIII-style private mansion located in the heart of the Marais, the Hôtel de Sully serves as the headquarters for the Centre des Monuments Nationaux.

A charming square located at the summit of the historic Rue Mouffetard. The square and fountain were established in 1852 during the Haussmann renovation of Paris, clearing a dense cluster of medieval houses to create a central gathering point for the Latin Quarter. There are many bistros and cafes with outdoor terraces to grab a drink or a meal at. If you saw the viral flash mob of Bohemian Rhapsody in Paris last year, it took place here, so you never know what might happen in this square!

Tucked away at the western tip of the Île de la Cité, Place Dauphine is a hidden sanctuary often called the most romantic square in Paris. Commissioned by Henri IV in 1607 (shortly after the Place des Vosges), it is a unique triangular "square" enclosed by elegant 17th-century buildings that shield it from the noise of the surrounding city. In the summer you can find locals playing bocci here and lots of people out on terraces enjoying a drink.

Standing alone in a small park off the Rue de Rivoli, this 54-meter flamboyant Gothic tower is all that remains of the 16th-century church of Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie. Once a bell tower for the powerful butchers' guild, it is now a protected UNESCO World Heritage site and a symbolic starting point for the Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela (Camino de Santiago). Climb to the top for some of the best 360 views of Paris!

One of the most elegant and unusual parks in Paris, Parc Monceau was originally created in the late 18th century as a "folly" garden for the Duke of Chartres.

Rue Cler is one of the most famous and beloved market streets in Paris. Located in the heart of the 7th arrondissement, it is a largely pedestrianized, cobblestoned thoroughfare lined with high-quality specialty food shops, colorful flower stalls, and classic Parisian terraces.

Rue Mouffetard is one of the oldest and most atmospheric streets in Paris, with origins dating back to the Roman era. Located in the 5th Arrondissement (Latin Quarter), it stretches from the lively Place de la Contrescarpe down to the Church of Saint-Médard. It is a bustling, narrow cobblestone street famous for its permanent market, historic façades, and vibrant student life. There are also so many incredible food spots lining this street.

Located in the historic Les Halles district, Saint-Eustache is one of the most architecturally significant churches in Paris. Built between 1532 and 1632, it features a unique blend of massive Gothic proportions and delicate Renaissance-style decoration. It has long been known as "the church of the common people" due to its proximity to the city's central market.

Once a famous artist squat known as "Chez Robert, Électron Libre," 59 Rivoli is now a legalized, government-supported arts center in the heart of Paris.
