A few years ago I was able to take a trip to Paris, France with my dad and sister. This visit included well-known sites like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre Dame, and Versailles. However, after getting lost a few times, we found a little quiet street with some fantastic food. It was our go to spot for the rest of the week, and we realized it had very little tourism. It's these types of secret places that make me appreciate a popular tourist country like France.
So wether this is your first or fifteenth time going to Paris, France, here are five places you should add to your list.
Warning: this list for the adventurous!
1. All Aboard the Curious Dodo Manege
Fairly new (built in 1992), the carousal features exotic and extinct animals from around the world. Centered in secluded greenery near the Natural History Museum, the Curious Dodo Manege is a unique, yet slightly horror-film creepy ride to behold. Ride if you dare.
2. Climb the Sacre Coeur Basilica
3. Enter the Gypsy World of 59 Rivoli
4. Become Friends With the Dead in the Catacombs
With the remains of more than six million people, the catacombs of Paris is an eerie walk. However, these underground cemeteries are becoming well-known so make sure you visit during the weekday.
5. Travel Paris Through the Underground
Now open to the public, travel through the sewers of Paris and even take a boat ride through the eerie water.
