5 Must-Sees in Paris

1. MONTMARTRE 

From the Moulin Rouge to a tiny vineyard that still produces wine, the iconic pink house, the favorite hangouts of famous artists such as Picasso and Toulouse-Lautrec, the Sacre Coeur Basilica and so much more, this is truly a unique village within Paris.

2. LE MARAIS

Hidden courtyards, medieval architecture, the beautiful Place des Vosges, and the home of Victor Hugo are all part of this historic neighborhood, one of the oldest and most charming in Paris.

3. COVERED PASSAGES of PARIS 

The enchanting, covered passages of Paris were the galleries where 19th-century Parisians would shop, dine, and socialize. Today only a few remain. These architectural marvels are hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.

4. THE LATIN QUARTER

Located in the heart of the city on the Left Bank, the Quartier Latin is a bustling neighborhood that has long been the epicenter for artists, students, and intellectuals. With its narrow, cobbled alleyways, Roman ruins and 2,000-year-old history, the Latin Quarter is a must-see when exploring Paris.

5. LOCAL FOOD MARKETS

Weekly food markets are intrinsic to the French way of life. Once a week, locals wander through colorful stalls to shop for fresh produce, cheeses, breads, meats and desserts. The produce is seasonal, so you never know what you will find – purple figs in the Fall, white asparagus in the Spring, golden peaches in the Summer.  Visit with a local guide for a truly authentic experience and tasting.

About Us 

SLL Perigord Travel was started by a Frenchman whose family has owned a castle in Perigord since 1764 and his wife, a sixth-generation Texan who moved to France in her 20’s. Their combined love for the region led to their desire to share it with people who, though they may already know Paris, have yet to experience the remarkable beauty and rich history of this exceptional corner of France.
