Visit These Hidden Free Spots Before Leaving Paris

❶ Champs-Élysées Known as one of the world’s most beautiful avenues, the Champs-Élysées is a classic Parisian check-in spot! As you wander near the LV flagship store, look up—you’ll definitely do a double-take 😱! The entire LV building is covered in colorful polka dots, and there’s even a giant figure lounging on the rooftop 🧌. It’s part of LV’s collaboration with Yayoi Kusama—if you’re into it, don’t miss this Champs-Élysées photo op! ❷ Halle Saint Pierre Beyond Sacré-Cœur in Montmartre, there’s a stunning bookstore brimming with artistic and romantic soul 📖. With high ceilings and large glass windows, take the spiral staircase upstairs to find the bookstore’s best view: a overlook of downtown Paris and the Seine. It’s a museum, bookstore, exhibition space, and gallery all in one—totally worth a visit. ❸ Sinking House This "leaning" house 🏘️ sits near Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Montmartre. The house itself isn’t actually slanted—from a certain angle, the small hill in front ⛰️ hides part of it, making it look like it’s sinking. Super fun! ❹ Petit Palais A gorgeous, underrated free museum—the Petit Palais. Despite its name, its collection is rich. And don’t miss Les Jardins du Petit Palais, the outdoor garden restaurant 🍴—dubbed the "oasis in the heart of the Petit Palais" 💐, the setting is absolutely charming. ❺ La Petite Ceinture A stunning railway tunnel, just like the one in the drama Hotel del Luna 🎬. It takes on different hues with each season—so pretty! ❻ Galeries Lafayette Haussmann No trip to Paris is complete without a city skyline view! this free rooftop viewing platform at Galeries Lafayette 🆓. Go at sunset 🌅—the orange glow of the sun with twinkling lights is pure romance! ❼ MÉLODIES GRAPHIQUES Tucked in a small alley in Le Marais, this stationery shop feels like a gateway to a magical world 🪄. The retro decor is charming—you’ll find wax seals, quill pens 🪶postcards... It’s like stepping into a fantasy. You could easily spend an afternoon here. ❽ Fontainebleau A beautiful town translated by Zhu Ziqing as (Maple Fountain White Dew). It’s a 40-minute drive from Paris, with tons of hidden gems: quiet French streets, vast forests 🌳, a grand castle, and artist villages.
