Paris next top 10
After we visit the top ten sites in Paris, what/where should we visit next? Leaving early Oct.
|
Visit top ten sites in Aix En Provence.
|
Not to mention the interesting sights all around.
|
I think the OP meant - what are the next 'tier' of sights in Paris to see, after you've done the 'must do's'..
|
I would think that one would conquer another city after seeing the top ten. Veni vidi vici!

We were in Paris in 2006 and, because it was my husband's first time, we saw the "top 10". Then we happened on a brochure with a painting on the cover that we really liked, so we decided to go see it. It was the Musee Cognacq-Jay (8 Rue Elzevir, between Rues de Francs-Bourgeois and du Parc-Royal) in the Marais. It's the complete collection of 18th century art acquired by one couple (Ernest Cognacq and Louise Jay), with works by (among others)Fragonard, Watteau, Rembrandt, Gainsborough,La Tour, some fine furniture, porcelains,etc. After touring some of the larger museums, which, though wonderful, can also be tiring, spending time in this intimate museum was a wonderful change of pace.

I am so in love with the city you would not have to even ask me that question! I have a list as long as my arm on what to see, do, explore next!!! Lots of book recc. I can give, just say the word. |
