Paris: Finding the Je Ne Sais Quoi You Are Looking For

Headed to the City of Lights? It’s a given that you are going to see the must-sees; the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Sacre Coeur, and Notre Dame during your Paris vacation. But are you searching for things to do off the beaten path in order to figure out just what the je ne sais quoi of Paris is all about? Checking out these sights below will help you carve out a piece of Paris that you can call your own.

The Catacombs
Interested in seeing where all those heads ended up after meeting their fate with the Guillotine during the French Revolution? Not for the faint hearted, this is one of the most interesting Parisian museums you will ever come across. Home to the remains of over six million people, the catacombs are an underground maze of tunnels filled to the brim with neatly stacked bones and skulls of those unfortunate Parisians of years past. Bring your walking shoes as illuminated tunnels bring you five stories underground, and lead you through almost a mile and a half worth of bones and history. Don’t forget your camera — you probably won’t get this close to this many bones ever again!

Sainte Chapelle
Tucked away on the Île de la Cité , this petite Gothic chapel is a sight not to be missed by anyone visiting Paris. Built to hold King Louis IX’s collection of holy relics this captivating building boasts architecture in vivid shades of blue, red and yellow everywhere you look. The actual chapel itself is home to striking floor to ceiling stained glass windows illustrated with scenes from the First Testament. Visiting Sainte Chapelle will bring you back in time, and you won’t want to leave!
