5 Adventurous Spots For Your Next Trip To Paris
Son Tours

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

Hard to describe, this unique street is filled with color and creativity. Fully renovated, 59 Rivoli is a space where artists can exhibit their works, and viewers can freely roam.

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
