Gaze upon the most artistic creations that have caught the eye of countless souls, visit the palace of French kings to admire some of the world-renowned pieces of art, such as the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and the Vénus de Milo. But that’s not all! Countless paintings that depict various elements of life await your admiration as well! Some paintings depict the meaning of life and how it blossoms into an overall lesson of hope and love in the end while some paintings represent the raft of destruction and how we are all trapped in a trance fighting the inevitable. But you don’t have to believe all of that, the paintings are open-ended because no one is the same, we have different aspirations and intentions huddled within our hearts and so we interpret the meaning of each painting differently from one another.

2. Explore The Catacombs

Just because it’s one of the top tourist attractions in France doesn’t mean it should be an elegant landmark filled with the joyful laughter of people. The Catacombs are the exact opposite of everything you would expect in a well-known tourist area, visit the immense underground empire of the dead and explore the dimly lit tunnels that spark a sense of horror with every step you take. This dark domain is known for many of its decorations within the tomb that are built from actual human bones which are apparently more than 200 years old. The Catacombs are sure to be goosebump worthy and is known for its extensively eerie atmosphere that visitors are surrounded by.

Embrace Sacré-Coeur, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris. This vivacious vision stands atop the hillock of Montmartre and  has a deep level of catholic history embedded within it, the roman catholic church is not only a monument of religious devotion but also a political one as the site has been around since the French revolution, step into the tremendous church and pray, surrounded by the candles of will and hope lit by millions of others and catch a glance of the rare illustrations of Jesus Christ that no other church has.

6. Don’t Visit Usual Fast Food Chains

Try not to visit the generic fast-food chains you usually do back home, its Paris so try something new apart from the ordinary. Try the famous Ratatouille, a Croissant or a Macaron. Anything except MacDonald’s or KFC. Keep in mind that You also cannot expect a greasy breakfast that consists of burgers and bacon, Parisians like to indulge in a light hearted meal in the morning and make up for it with their lunch and dinner.

7. Try Not To Speak Louder

Parisians are very well behaved and don’t necessarily speak in large volumes than they need to, so make sure you’re on an acceptable level of behavior while you’re in places like restaurants and cafes. Try to speak French as well, even if it is just a few words; Parisians tend to appreciate a simple bonjour, au revoir and a merci because good behavior can go a long way.

8. Never Expect Things to be Open on Sundays

The French are well known for keeping “family time” intact and Sundays is the day when people get to see their family. Its also because the government has not allowed all shops in all places to be open on Sundays (although that is slowly changing) and so, you won’t find too many places open on Sundays. So, make sure to plan ahead.

9. Don’t Forget That The Best Way To Get Around Is The Metro

Walk or take the métro. Paris is a compact city, about 6 miles across, and no building in Paris is more than a few hundred yards from a Metro stop. In Paris, cabs are expensive – you pay by distance and the amount of time in the cab. So, if you’re stuck in a traffic jam with the meter running, the cost of a short trip can be astronomical! And hang onto your ticket until you leave your station. You could be checked by the police and fined if you don’t have your ticket stub.

10. Don’t Speak To Anyone Who Seems Fishy

If you’re sitting on a bench at Notre Dame and someone comes up to you asking for donation money or for you to “sign a petition,” just ignore them because they’re just trying to get your money. They’ll usually be holding a clip board and will walk in groups of two or three. These people are harmless if you don’t talk to them.
