A great place to take the kids for a walk with great value for money. There are many rare specimens and replica animals that cannot be seen in Taiwan. There is also a botanical garden and zoo next to the park, where you can spend a whole day.

Visiting the Louvre at 10 AM with a reservation was a fantastic experience. The short line allowed for quick entry, and the morning ambiance was serene. I enjoyed exploring masterpieces like the Mona Lisa without crowds. The natural light through the glass pyramid enhanced the beauty of the art. Highly recommended for an unforgettable morning!

Of course the Mona Lisa is amazing, but the works that I didn't know much about are also wonderful. Above all, the scale of the museum's splendor is something you can never experience in Japan. Tickets must be purchased in advance to enter (there are no same-day tickets!), so it's best to buy them through Klook.

A hidden gem in Paris! Musée de l'Orangerie is small but breathtaking—home to Monet’s iconic *Water Lilies* displayed in two oval rooms designed just for them. Standing in those serene, light-filled spaces feels like stepping into the paintings themselves. The lower level’s Impressionist collection (Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse) is equally impressive. What I loved: No crowds (unlike the Louvre!), intimate setting, and the way natural light enhances the art. Spent an hour here but could’ve lingered all day. Perfect for art lovers short on time.

As soon as we entered the museum, our tour guide immediately took us to see all the must-see treasures in the Louvre. So we didn't miss anything we wanted to see, but we strongly recommend that you choose our session, because more and more people want to see Mona Lisa later, so it will be difficult to find and squeeze in to see Mona Lisa in the front.

There are many works worth seeing. You can enter the store on the same day after buying it. It is very smooth. Overall, it is worth recommending.

Catacombs of Paris

Just a 15-minute walk from the Montparnasse Tower, the Catacombs of Paris take you deep underground into a historic ossuary holding the remains of millions. This unique attraction shows a different side of Paris history, far from the bright rooftops and panoramic views. Walking through the tunnels is both fascinating and eerie, making it a must-see for history lovers.

Montparnasse

The lively Montparnasse district is right next to the Montparnasse Tower, offering a mix of cafés, restaurants, and theaters. You can explore local bistros, historic brasseries like La Coupole, and charming streets filled with art and culture. It's the perfect place to enjoy French cuisine after seeing the best view of Paris.

Seine

Seine is not far from the Montparnasse Tower, just a 20-minute walk. Visiting here gives you a chance to enjoy a scenic walk or boat cruise. From here, you can see iconic bridges, watch street performers, or take a romantic river tour.
