But after 13 years of showing the sights of Paris to tourists from all over France and the world, we\u2019ve learned a thing or two about the city. So a part of what we do nowadays is helping visitors plan the most awesome places to visit in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>And just so you know, we\u2019re not talking about the kind of tourist plan you can come across anywhere. So for the moment, let\u2019s set aside the big spots like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, the Avenue des Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es, and the Jardin des Tuileries. (We\u2019ll come back to them later, don\u2019t worry!)<\/p>\n<p>Our tourist plans take you off the beaten track, to places most tourists miss. Sometimes this includes a spin on the river. Other times, it\u2019s a stroll with the right guide through the lesser-known streets, or a \u201crue\u201d as we call it here.<\/p>\n<p>To save you the trouble of searching for places to visit and activities to try in Paris for yourself, here\u2019s our little guide to 3 hidden gems and 3 guided tours we love sending visitors to.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in enlisting our help in organizing your Paris visit, or in booking a river cruise to kickstart your city break? <a href=\"https:\/\/myparisriver.com\/en\/contact\/\">Contact us<\/a> and we\u2019ll help you take it from there.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><h2><\/h2>\n<h2>3 hidden gems \u2014 can you guess where they are?<\/h2>\n<p>Okay, we\u2019ll give you a hint. Head to the Pont des Arts. It\u2019s right in a central arrondissement of the city and easily accessible by metro, so you shouldn\u2019t find it hard. Now after soaking up the view of the Louvre Museum for a few minutes, turn your back to the Eiffel Tower and admire the sight that\u2019s right in front of you.<\/p>\n<p>Yep, we\u2019re taking you to \u00cele de la Cit\u00e9, the ancient heart of Paris and seat of power of Roman governors and medieval kings. Ready to discover 3 hidden gems steeped in history and mysticism? Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n<h3>La Sainte-Chapelle<\/h3>\n<p>This edifice was built in the 13th century by King Louis IX, or Saint Louis as he was later known. Saint Louis built it as a place to hold and safeguard 2 famous relics of the Passion of the Christ \u2014 the Crown of Thorns and a fragment of the True Cross.<br \/>\nThe Sainte-Chapelle is a complete example of Gothic architecture and stained glass artwork, with its chapel containing 1113 scenes from the old and new testaments that tell the history of the world according to the Bible up to the arrival of the relics in Paris \u2014 with a little bit of the Apocalypse thrown in at the end, if that\u2019s your thing.<br \/>\nA word of caution: The lower chapel, though magnificent, often disappoints the misinformed traveler. So make sure to walk up the circular stairway to the upper chapel \u2014 the light and color of which are said to be unlike anything remotely comparable. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Tickets start at \u20ac22 for non-EU residents and \u20ac16 for EU residents. Under 18s go free as do other categories of visitor. Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sainte-chapelle.fr\/en\">website<\/a> for more.<\/p>\n<h3>The Tour de l\u2019Horloge<\/h3>\n<p>The Clock Tower, or \u201cTour de l\u2019Horloge\u201d as locals call it, is the oldest public clock in Paris, and has been helping Parisians tell the time since 1371!<\/p>\n<p>The arch that protects the clock face is decorated with intertwined initials. Look for \u201cH\u201d and \u201cC\u201d for Henri II and Catherine de Medicis. Although some say the intertwined \u201cH\u201d and \u201cC\u201d actually form the letter \u201cD\u201d \u2014 for Diane of Poitiers, the court favorite of Henri II and arch-rival of Catherine. (This hidden gem is a must-see for fans of the show Serpent Queen about Catherine de Medici.)<\/p>\n<p>As for tickets, this hidden gem is one of the free sights you can visit any time of the day you like. And best of all, our third and final hidden gem is just around the corner.<\/p>\n<h3>Le Palais de la Conciergerie<\/h3>\n<p>This UNESCO World Heritage building was a seat of power in ancient Paris from Roman times up to the medieval French kings.<\/p>\n<p>From the 14th century onward, it transformed into an administrative building and then into a prison, becoming a place of terror during the French Revolution. This hidden gem saw its share of famous prisoners, including Marie-Antoinette and Robespierre who lived out their final days there before being guillotined. Visit this hidden gem if you want to learn more about the somber side of Parisian and French history.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets start at \u20ac13 per person, under 18s go free, as do under 26s if they live in France, making this one of the best places to experience the enormous history of Paris on a budget.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll find more information on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paris-conciergerie.fr\/en\">Conciergerie website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>And 1 final hidden gem for people with tired feet<\/h2>\n<p>Fancy putting up your feet for a while? Maybe seeing some of those big sights after all but still don\u2019t want to wait in line?<\/p>\n<p>Well, one way to view the Louvre Museum and other highlights of the city is to take a cruise on the river Seine. (Yep, we\u2019re giving you a bonus hidden gem in Paris.) Okay, okay, river cruises are a well-known and very popular way to visit the city. But when you picture a river cruise, we bet you are imagining a big, two-tier boat with hundreds and hundreds of tourists. Have you ever heard of private river cruises?<\/p>\n<p>This is our specialty at My Paris River. And one of the best things about a private river cruise is that you get to do it in the company of your very own private skipper. All our skippers know and love their home city. And it is this passion for Paris \u2014 combined with extensive training \u2014 that makes them the perfect guides to explore the Seine and the monuments that line its riverbanks.<\/p>\n<p>Our skippers know the history and stories behind the monuments and famous figures who\u2019ve marked the city of Paris. They\u2019re also bilingual in French and English to cater for visitors from as many places as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Live-guided commentary is included in your cruise price. Our skippers can adapt their commentary to your needs. And if you\u2019d prefer some peace and quiet to sit and enjoy the experience, that\u2019s okay too.<\/p>\n<\/div><div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-3d button-medium button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/myparisriver.com\/en\/our-cruises\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">Explore our river cruises <\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Speaking of guides \u2014 here are 3 of the best<\/h2>\n<p>Being a part of the Paris tourism sector has given us deep insights into the best places to visit as well as some of the hidden gems of Paris. It\u2019s also brought us into contact with plenty of fantastic tour guides in the city. Here are 3 that we definitely recommend.<\/p>\n<h3>Zo\u00e9 Petit AKA \u201cThe Petit Guide\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Zoe is from Texas but has been living in Paris for over a decade. She runs family tours that are perfect for kids, with stop-offs for treats or plenty of time for fun things along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Her 2 main areas are Montmartre and central Paris.

Go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoepetit.com\/guide\">Zoe\u2019s website<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<h3>April in Paris<\/h3>\n<p>This company runs a range of tours that will have you walking, cycling, and sampling the best food, chocolate, and wine in Paris. They also run \u201cSkip the line\u201d tours of Versailles, the Louvre, and Musee D&#8217;Orsay. And of course \u2014 as their name suggests \u2013 an Emily in Paris tour.<\/p>\n<p>Founded by Canadian April Pett, April in Paris has a full list of tours on their website.<\/p>\n<h3>Family Focus Tours Paris<\/h3>\n<p>Alexandra Guichard has a background in teaching and child psychology.

And generally speaking, you will find that most of them are more than happy to recommend places to eat, where to rest up after a long day, the best time to visit a museum, and the best rates for getting into cool places.<\/p>\n<p>If you invest in a guided tour, you\u2019ll get more than sights and commentary. You\u2019ll get access to knowledge that only locals have.
