    This is a great museum with a lot of art.I can say it’s the best museum I’ve ever been to.A great experience to see different art from different cultures in one place.

    We purchased tickets online for our own self-guided tour of Sainte-Chapelle as soon as we arrived because we had not pre-booked. It would not have mattered anyway because the queues are long and very confusing. If you arrive without a ticket, IMMEDIATELY go online and purchase a ticket for a specified entry time, especially if you’ve purchased the Paris City Pass. There are lines for those with tickets showing entry on the hour: 10, 11, 12, 1, etc. and a separate line for those with tickets showing entry on the half-hour 9:30, 10:30, 11:30, etc. There were many confused people jogging from one line to the next because there is no clear direction. That being said, DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR!
    The building is absolutely spectacular, the architecture stunning, the stained glass is absolutely breathtaking and the combined effect is absolutely transporting.

    While all of the exhibits in the museum are great, the two Monet rooms with his large water lilly panels are well worth the price of admission on their own. Some of the most striking artwork I have ever seen.

    Popped to the gardens to see the Olympic flame, but it seems to be ticketed unfortunately. Nice to see from a distance but the gardens themselves are a bit busy right now.

    PROS
    * Picturesque and beautiful island in the center of Paris
    * Quaint and charming- scenic
    * An amazing island with lots of attractions and activities
    * A great place to stroll and explore
    * Many restaurants and cafes and other food stuffs
    * Many scenic bridges cross the island

    CONS
    * It can be crowded, busy and confusing

    "I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
    ... because it's a great place- the center of Paris. I loved walking onto and exploring the island. I walked pat the (closed) Cathedral of Notre Dame several times, visited the Memorial to the Deportation and its adjacent park and went inside Saint- Chapelle and the Conciergerie. I also crossed many of its bridges.

    WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
    Yes- it is free

    WOULD "I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN?
    For sure

    ADVICE
    You must go there

    If we could live in this neighborhood, we would. The major feature is this market street with all sorts of fresh food to take back to your apartment, and all sorts of restaurants and cafes to sit in. It really comes alive at happy hour when the young folks jam the cool cafes and the activity continues. On either side of this market street you will find 18th Century Paris, lots of history, and lots of pedestrian streets.

    Fun and quirky. Went here as an alternative to the art we saw at the Louvre the day before. Great fun and definitely worth a visit. If you have space to take some art home you can purchase some too.

    One of the most important squares in Paris, not because of its beauty/architecture, but for its historic significance.

    It's a must-visit on your way from Place de la Concorde to Grands Boulevards. That being said, the square itself isn't much more than its obelisk at the center. However, there are plenty of fancy high-end stores all around.

    We had purchased the combo ticket covering both Saint Chapelle and Conciergerie. The tablet app that is handed as a guide is really cool. One gets to visualize how the place would have looked like back in the olden days.
    Interesting anecdotes from history. Overall a nice place to visit and not too crowded either.

    The height of the interior of this gothic cathedral is impressive. We sat for a while to admire it all. They have installed a light show here, so that is something to come back to. This has been the parish church for the market area.

    This triangular shaped square in Ile de la Cite definitely gives you that old historic Paris air. Surrounded by thick wall buildings, its beautiful garden make it a nice spot for relaxing and taking a break.

    I discovered this place from instagram. I was curious about the black and white columns and I discovered all the rest of the garden. Very relaxing place in the center of the city
