204 Reasons to Travel to Paris!
You do not have to follow the stream to only one museum in Paris.
The France capital has 204 of them.
It is the number that appears on the city’s official tourist site.
It is as you can see enough to choose from, whether you’ve already
seen the “Mona Lisa” in the Louvre or the Sun King halls of Versailles.
Lonely Planet points out six “forgot” museums that will surprise
you positively if you visit them:
Let Pinacothèque is a new art museum on the Place Madeleine.
And it’s not just new, it thinks differently from non-linear displays
of everything from Inca gold and Chinese terracotta statues to the
paintings of Edvard Munch and Maurice Utrillo.
Musée Dapper is a great place to see African and Caribbean art.
The permanent exhibition has largely masks and sculptures,
but there are also concerts, film screenings and children’s shows here.
In the eighth arrondissement are several small museums in the old villas:
Musée JACQUEMART-André showcases Italian masterpieces from the Renaissance.
Musée Nissim de Camondo shows furniture, tapestry and porcelain from the 1700s.
Musée Cernuschi displays up to 3500 year old Chinese statues.
But I’m not going to forget to mention some of the biggest reasons to visit
Paris. This is of course the Louvre, and it’s visited by over 8 million people every year.
It’s understandable that the other museums in Paris is in the shadow of
this great monument of history.
The city also have some other massive buildings, I’m talking about
the two cathedrals; Notre Dame de Paris and the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur.
A visit to the France capital couldn’t be complete without a visit to the most famous
place in Paris. The Eiffel Tower is by far the most famous monument in France.
Their is also places in Paris for the youngsters. Disneyland Paris is huge in France and
attracts many tourist every year.
