If Noah's Ark were real, it might look like this! Enter a world of evolution in the Grande Galerie de l'Évolution. Get up close to 7,000 preserved animal specimens, from elephants to insects, polar bears and cheetahs. You can also see a car that's been smashed by a meteorite!

The Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain is a space for dialogue and artistic experimentation that places contemporary art in all its forms, its exhibition, and its dissemination at the center of its institutional project.

The museum organizes a variety of contemporary art exhibitions that highlight both established and emerging artists from around the world. It offers a range of visual art forms, including sculpture, painting, installation, and multimedia works.

Take an underground tour of Paris's grisly mass graveyard, where the bones of a staggering **six million** human remains are on macabre display. Wandering these corridors is a fantastically eerie experience, and you'll learn all about life (and death) in 18th-century Paris with the multilingual audio guide. Discover the dark side of Paris!

On August 25th 1944, the French flag replaced the swastika atop the Eiffel Tower. After a six-day uprising, a proud army of ordinary Parisians was joined by French and American soldiers, and the Liberation of Paris was confirmed.

The Museum of the Liberation of Paris gives a voice to those who resisted Nazi occupancy, and tells their fascinating tales. Follow key figures on a journey that takes in over 300 original items, including weapons, clothing, photos and videos.

A life as interesting as his art; Ossip Zadkine was born in Russia and moved to England before studying art in France. Injured in World War I and exiled to New York during WWII (due to his Jewish heritage), his artistic output never hampered. 

Musée Zadkine allows visitors to step inside the home studio of the artist and see some of his works exactly where they were crafted. Discover how he and his wife, artist Valentine Prax, shaped their work around their lives, the wars, and Paris.

Ever wonder just what a mineral is, or how it’s formed? You’ll have all these questions answered at the Geology and Mineralogy Gallery. There’s nearly 600 remarkable mineral treasures on display at the Geology and Mineralogy Gallery, including 20 giant crystals. 

You’ll arrive at the sight of giant quartz, weighing two to three tons each, and large geodes containing thousands of small crystals of amethyst. Learn more about them in a film that recalls their discovery in Brazil to their arrival in the museum in 1983. 

Alongside the natural wonder of minerals in their pure form, you’ll have the chance to see some rare crown jewels, including the grand sapphire of Louis XIV,  the large opal of Charles X, and the diamond inlaid snuff box of Alexander I.

While dazzling beauty is around every bend, you’ll also have the chance to learn fascinating insights about how these rare stones are formed.

See nearly 500 sculptures, including plaster, wood, bronze, marble, stone, clay, and cement pieces.

In addition to these sculptures, view a collection of the artist's drawings, with 3,000 sketches and illustrations, along with some prints. 

Also on display are personal portraits painted by the artist's friends, showing her as a strong figure of her time.

While not a complete collection, the selected sculptures highlight key periods of the artist's work from 1910 to 1968. The variety of sculptures in the workshop showcases the artist's evolving style and creativity.

Step inside the Musée Postal in France and discover a world of postal history, plus a variety of fascinating activities! 

Delve into the evolution of mail delivery in France, the development of postal infrastructure, and the impact of communication technologies over time. 

You can even step into the shoes of a postman/postwoman and learn about the daily routines and challenges faced by postal workers throughout history. 

Discover rare artifacts, postal uniforms, antique mailboxes, and historical documents that all offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of postal operations. 

You'll soon have a deeper appreciation for these postal workers and their role in connecting people and communities.

Set amid four monumental towers shaped like books, the François-Mitterrand site of the Bibliothèque nationale de France hosts temporary exhibitions throughout the year.

Prepare for a guided Segway tour of Paris. 

Glide through the city and see famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum up close.

It's a Parisian cultural highlight, but only 200 people are allowed into the catacombs at any one time – and with lines reaching around the block, spots run out fast. 

Take advantage of this ticket that gives you fast-track access to the Catacombs of Paris with a small group. Explore parts of the catacombs that are usually closed to the public. Special underground gates will be unlocked just for you, and a guide will tell you all about the lives of the catacomb's six million inhabitants.

The City of Light has a dark side – 65 feet beneath the charming tree-lined boulevards and honey-colored architecture, the Catacombs of Paris lurk in the shadows.

Home to over 6 million human skeletons (roughly 3 times the living population of Paris!) arranged neatly along 200 miles of tunnels, this grim underworld offers a bone-chilling glimpse into the past.

Summon your courage and plumb the macabre depths on a guided tour of this creepy necropolis. Just don't forget to look behind you!

Prepare to experience a seamless and comfortable transfer. This shuttle takes the stress out of travel, taking you from Paris Montparnasse Station to CDG Airport. Experience a comfortable journey to the airport in the shuttle with a professional driver.

Paris was one of the first cities to see urban art flourish on its walls, and your guide is not only passionate about street art, but was a street artist himself in the 1980s. 

Leave the bustle of the city behind and explore the beautiful secret village of La Butte aux Cailles. You’ll discover tiny houses and gardens on cobbled streets, a world away from the busy capital. You’ll also find murals, wheat-pasted papers and stencil graffiti brightening the streets and filling them with colour. 

Here you’ll find artworks by both artists of the 1980’s, right up to emerging artists of the present day. Your guide knows many of the artists and will be able to teach you about the works you see, guiding you through the history and techniques of Urban Art in Paris. 

From Jeff Aérosol and Miss Tic to Le Long and Princess Ecchymose, discover the best of Parisian Street Art and the artists who best represent the ‘French Touch’ and its flagship technique; ‘le pochoir’.

Paris’ Left Bank is known for its neighborhoods, restaurants, shops, and historic sites. It has long been a center for writers, artists, and students.

The tour starts at the Shakespeare and Company bookstore, where you meet your guide and group. You’ll learn about the store’s “Tumbleweed” program, where writers can stay in exchange for helping at the shop.

From there, you walk to Notre-Dame and hear about its history and restoration after the 2019 fire. You’ll also pass Point Zero, the center point of Paris, and cross the Pont au Double back to the Left Bank.

Next, you visit Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre, one of the city’s oldest churches, where you can see one of the oldest trees in Paris and views of Notre-Dame. You’ll pass the Musée de Cluny, built on the remains of Roman baths, and hear about its collection, including The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries.

Explore two contrasting sides of Paris on this tour. Visit the Catacombs of Paris, an extensive underground ossuary and significant historical site where the remains of many generations rest. Walk through its corridors and learn about part of Paris’s past. 

Following this, take a cruise along the Seine River to observe notable sites, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Notre-Dame from the waterway. This offers insights into both the historic and modern elements of the city.

An audio guide is available for both the cruise and the Catacombs with insightful commentary.
