Despite its name meaning 'New Bridge', Pont Neuf is actually Paris’s oldest bridge over the Seine, dating back to the 16th century. It’s also a great starting point to explore some of the city’s most famous sights. From here, you can easily wander around Île de la Cité to visit the Conciergerie, the old royal palace turned prison, and the stunning Sainte-Chapelle with its incredible stained glass windows. Just across the river lies the Louvre Museum, while a short walk takes you to the peaceful Place Dauphine, a hidden gem of a square. And, of course, the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral is also close by.

Au Pays des Merveilles translates to 'In Wonderland' in English. This family theme park centers around Alice in Wonderland and other fairy tale characters. Some activities at the park include rides, mini-golf, water rides and games. Au Pays des Merveilles operates seasonally from June 22nd to August 25th.

Bar Beach lies southwest of the city centre, and is a popular spot for getting a tan. The well-maintained beach offers a number of surfing spots, where you can easily enjoy a lazy afternoon on your summer vacation by the clear blue ocean.

The Jardin du Luxembourg is one of Paris’s most beloved green spaces, situated in the 6th arrondissement and home to the French Senate. Commissioned by Marie de’ Medici in the 17th century, it’s a mix of manicured lawns, flowerbeds, fountains, and shady promenades. Locals come here to run, read, sail toy boats on the pond, or just sit and watch the world go by — from students and chess players to kids on the playground and politicians on their lunch break. The Luxembourg Palace sits at its centre, and the Medici Fountain remains one of its most photographed spots.
